which is defined by conglomerates, quartz sandstone and marl with limestone intercalations, above which are placed sandstones miocene in alternation with shale clay.
Locally, the flysch deposits are crossed by granodiorithic eruptive bodies, andesite,
dacite or riolite strands. Also, under the insular aspect, can be found Jurassic limestone formations (M˘ agura Vulcan, 1260 m and Piatra Bulzului, 963 m). To the south,
