The hurricane-prod cast: A terrestrial mecanogliph from the Middle Pontian of the Dacian Basin

Slănicul de Buzău Valley, Romania

Abstract

We present an unusual impact trace of hurricane-prod cast type, which has been possibly generated by the very strong atmospheric winds, produced, in the northern part of the Dacian Basin, during the latest Miocene, i.e. Pontian times. The above-mentioned hypothesis is based on the presence of the planimetric details, along with the reconstruction of the transported body and the existence of the undulations made by the impact shock.
