Societatea Paleontologilor din Romnia Paleontologia ntre ultimele dou simpozioane ale Societii Paleontologilor din Romnia Societatea Paleontologilor din Romnia (SPR), ca societate profesional non-profit, cuprinde specialiti din domeniul larg al Paleontologiei i Biostratigrafiei din ar, precum i unii specialiti din strintate. Activitatea de cercetare din acest domeniu se desfoar n principal n universiti (Bucureti, Cluj, Iai, Suceava, Ploieti), precum i n unele institute specializate, sau chiar i n uniti productive .a. ntre acestea de remarcat Institutul Geologic al Romniei, Muzeul Geologic al Romniei, Institutul de Geologie Marin (GEOECOMAR) din Bucureti, Institutul de Geografie din Bucureti, Instituitul de Speologie din Bucureti, muzeele de istorie natural din Oradea, Sibiu, Brlad, S.C. GEOMOLD S.A. Cmpulung Moldovenesc .a. Momentele de bilan ale acestei activiti sunt exprimate n principal prin lucrrile prezentate la simpozioanele societi care se desfoar din doi n doi ani. La finele fiecrui simpozion, lucrrile principale comunicate sunt publicate n revista tiinific Acta Palaeontologica Romaniae, care a ajuns la volumul VI. Societatea Paleontologilor din Romnia este astzi poate printre puinele asociaii profesionale din ar care i desfoar normal activitatea i care i pstreaz nc ritmul de organizare a simpozioanelor sale odat la doi ani. Criza economic ce a cuprins i activitatea de cercetare din ara noastr se resimte din plin prin acordarea a mult mai puine fonduri destinate activitii de studiu, cercetare i creaie. Au disprut din viaa economic a rii numeroase instituii, societi i firme care utilizau i aplicau

Buletin nr. 16, septembrie 2009 Paleontology between the last two symposiums of the Romanian Society of Paleontologists The Romanian Society of Paleontologists (RSP), as a nonprofit professional society, includes specialists from the extended field of Paleontology and Biostratigraphy from our country, as well as specialists from abroad. The research activity in this field mainly takes place in the universities (Bucharest, Cluj, Iai, Suceava, Ploieti), and in other specialized institutes or even in productive factories, etc. Among these, we mention the Romanian Geology Institute, the Romanian Geological Museum, the Speleological Institute from Bucharest, the natural history museums from Oradea, Sibiu, Brlad, the GEOMOLD Company from Cmpulung Moldovenesc, etc. The balance times for this activity are mainly expressed by the papers presented at the symposiums of the society which take place biennially. At the end of each symposium, the main presented papers are published in the scientific review Acta Palaeontologica Romaniae, which came to the VIth volume. Nowadays, the Romanian Society of Paleontologists is maybe one of the few professional associations in the country which normally develops its activity and maintains its organizational rhythm for the biennial symposiums. The economical crisis which also affected the research activity from our country is fully felt in granting fewer funds destined for the activity of study, research and creation. From the economical life of numerous countries, many institutions, companies and firms disappeared, which generally used and applied in the production process the results of the geological researches and where the paleontological and

Societatea Paleontologilor din Romnia n producie rezultatele cercetrilor geologice n general i n care i gseau loc i studiile paleontologice i biostratigrafice. Din ce n ce cmpul de cercetare pentru Paleontologie i Biostratigrafie se restrnge, i acesta este un fenomen global. Numai pasiunea i perseverana de cercettor, insistena i intuiia unor colegi, precum i dorina de descoperire i punere n valoare a noului, coroborate cu puinele resurse pentru cercetare, contribuie ca steagul studiilor paleontologice i biostratigrafice s fie nc inut sus. n acest spirit de emulaie i colaborare se menin i astzi studiile i cercetrile de paleontologie i biostratigrafie din ara noastr, precum i colaborrile i relaiile internaionale ntre cercettori. Fiecare simpozion al SPR se organizeaz cu unele sacrificii, cu eforturi financiare i organizatorice uneori greu de realizat. Dei mijloacele de informare i de publicare a rezultatelor tiinifice sunt astzi mult mai mari, lipsa n general a fondurilor financiare i n special a sponsorilor face dificil i greoaie activitatea primar i obligatorie de cercetare n teren, mai ales pentru tineri. La acestea se adaug pentru unii i comoditatea. Cu toate aceste greuti i neajunsuri, observm rezultate bune n activitatea tiinific, prin articolele, crile, monografiile i alte materiale publicate n urma simpozioanelor SPR, sau cu ocazia altor manifestri tiinifice interne i internaionale. Ultimul simpozion SPR s-a desfurat la Iai, n perioada 21-23 septembrie 2007, n cadrul Universitii Al. I. Cuza din Iai. Participanii, destul de muli, dar mai puin ca la simpozioanele anterioare, au prezentat multe comunicri interesante i diverse ca orientare tiinific. Au participat mai puini colegi din strintate ca altdat,

Buletin nr. 16, septembrie 2009 biostratigraphical studies were appropriate. The research field for Paleontology and Biostratigraphy is getting smaller, and this represents a global phenomenon. Only the researchers passion and perseverance, the insistence and the intuition of some colleagues, as well as the desire to discover and to price the new, all corroborated with the few research resources, make the flag of the paleontological and biostratigraphical studies to continue to wave. Considering this emulation and collaboration state, the paleontological and biostratigraphical studies and researches continue in our country at the present time, as well as the international collaborations and relationships between researchers. Each symposium of the RSP takes place with some sacrifices, with financial and organizational efforts, sometimes hard to respect. Although the informational and publishing means of the scientific results are more extended these days, the general lack of the financial funds and especially of the sponsors make the primary and compulsory field activity difficult and hard, especially for the youngest ones; beside the indolence of others. Despite all these difficulties and drawbacks, we notice the good results in the scientific activity, by articles, books, monographs and other published papers as a result of the RSP symposiums or other internal or international scientific manifestations. The last symposium of the RSP took place in Iai, between September 2123, 2007, as part of Al. I. Cuza University. The participants quite many, but fewer than at the previous symposiums presented many interesting and divers scientific communications. Considering other years, fewer colleagues from abroad participated, due to other parallel

Societatea Paleontologilor din Romnia fie datorit desfurrii n paralel a altor manifestri tiinifice n Europa sau n SUA, fie datorit unor msuri abuzive privind eliberarea vizelor de intrare n Romnia (vezi colegii din Republica Moldova). n urma acestui simpozion a aprut volumul VI al revistei Acta Palaeontologica Romaniae, care cuprinde 30 de articole tiinifice foarte interesante i diverse ca orientare tiinific. La acestea se adaug o important contribuie tiinific de sintez a acad. prof. doctor Theodor Neagu, intitulat Bazele paleontologice ale Geologiei i Biologiei i alte cteva articole diverse. Trebuie s remarcm la acest simpozion, pe lng diversitatea comunicrilor prezentate i acurateea tiinific a acestora, urmate de discuiile consistente i pertinent purtate ntre specialiti. Ca de fiecare dat, aplicaia de teren final a fost interesant i instructiv pentru toi participanii. Considerm astfel c i volumul VI din Acta Palaeontologica Romaniae, publicat cu lucrrile importante de la acest simpozion se ridic la nivelul tiinific elevat al celor 5 volume anterioare. Ce urmeaz n viitor? Dup cum tim urmeaz Simpozionul al VII-lea al SPR ce va avea loc n perioada 22-24 octombrie 2009, n organizarea Filialei Cluj a SPR, mpreun cu Universitatea Babe-Bolyai din Cluj Napoca. Tematica simpozionului este interesant i cuprinztoare i credem c reprezint garania unor viitoare comunicri tiinifice valoroase. Aceasta cuprinde seciile: 1. Tendine noi n paleontologie; 2. Paleontologia nevertebratelor i vertebratelor; 3. Micropaleontologie; 4. Paleobotanic i Palinologie; 5. Paleoecologie i Paleogeografie; 6. Tafonomie i Ichnologie; 7. Biostratigrafie; 8. Sedimentologia siturilor paleontologice;

Buletin nr. 16, septembrie 2009 scientific manifestations from Europe or the USA, either to some abusive rigors as regards the exit visa release for Romania (see the colleagues from the Republic of Moldova). As the result of this symposium, it was published the volume of the Acta VIth Palaeontologica Romaniae review, which includes 30 very interesting and divers scientific papers. To all these, there is added an important synthesis scientific contribution of Acad. Ph.D. Professor Theodor Neagu, Paleontological bases of Geology and Biology, and other different papers. For this symposium, beside the diversity of the presented papers, we also have to notice their scientific accuracy, followed by the consistent and pertinent discussions between the specialists. As each time, the final field trip was interesting and instructive for all the participants. Therefore, we consider that the VIth volume of Acta Palaeontologica Romaniae, published with important papers from this symposium, raises to the elevated scientific level of the previous 5 volumes. What the future holds? As we know, the VIIth Symposium of the RSP will take place during October 22-24, 2009, organized by the Cluj Branch of the RSP, together with Babe-Bolyai University from Cluj Napoca. The symposium thematic is interesting and we believe that it represents the guaranty of some future valuable scientific papers. This includes the sections: 1. New tendencies in Paleontology; 2. Paleontology of Invertebrates and Vertebrates; 3. Micropaleontology; 4. Paleobotany and Palynology; 5. Paleoecology and Paleogeography; 6. Taphonomy and Ichnology; 7. Biostratigraphy; 8. Sedimentology of paleontological sites; 9. Fossil diagenesis; 10. Paleontology and the surrounding environment.

Paleontologia i mediul ambiant. n perioada dintre cele dou simpozioane, activitatea de cercetare paleontologic i biostratigrafic s-a desfurat conform specificului i specialitilor de la fiecare institut de nvmnt superior i de cercetare din ar: s-au urmrit temele de cercetare propuse; s-au activat grupele de cercetare pe direcii specifice de cercetare; s-au rezolvat unele proiecte i granturi CNSIS; s-au realizat colaborri i contacte ntre specialiti pe relaii interne i internaionale. ntre realizrile mai importante sunt publicaiile aprute sub form de cri, monografii sau lucrri tiinifice, publicate n diferite reviste, unele cotate ISI. Au continuat, n limita posibilitilor financiare, schimburile cu strintatea i participrile la congresele interne i internaionale. Multe dintre lucrrile publicate au primit premii ale Academiei Romne sau altele, precum i aprecieri ale specialitilor strini. Sunt demne de menionat i manifestrile tiinifice ale studenilor geologi de la Iai i Cluj Napoca. S-au susinut n aceast perioad importante i valoroase teze de doctorat, cu semnificative contribuii originale ale autorilor lor. Nu putem spune c cercetarea tiinific n domeniul Paleontologiei i Biostratigrafiei s-a desfurat fr lacune. Lipsa suportului financiar pentru toi cei angajai n cercetarea tiinific din universiti i institute specializate s-a simit din plin. Pentru unii, eforturile financiare personale au fost foarte mari. La nivelul MEC nu se aloc fonduri importante pentru cercetri fundamentale, iar tinerii nu sunt suficient de sprijinii n realizarea unor proiecte importante sau teze de doctorat. Instituiile abilitate s supervizeze cercetarea tiinific n Romnia i-au restrns n ultimul timp disponibilitile financiare. Nu am ajuns

Buletin nr. 16, septembrie 2009 Between the last two symposiums, the paleontological and biostratigraphical research activity took place according to the specific and the specialists from each upper education and research institutes of our country: the proposed research subjects were respected; some projects and CNSIS grants were managed; collaborations and contacts between specialists by intern and international relationships were accomplished. Between the more important accomplishes we mention the publications, including books, monographs and scientific papers, published in different reviews, some of them ISI considered. According to the financial possibilities, the exchanges with the foreign countries and the participations at different intern and international congresses continued. Many of the published papers were awarded by the Romanian Academy and other institutions, and also they received appreciations from the foreign specialists. Also, we must mention the scientific manifestations of the Geology students from Iai and Cluj Napoca. During this period, important and valuable Ph.D. theses were argued, with significant original contributions of the authors. We cannot say that the scientific research in the Paleontology field took place with no problems. The lack of a financial base for all those involved in the scientific research from universities and specialized institutes was fully felt. For some, the personal financial efforts were huge. At the level of Ministry of Education and Culture no funds are allocated for fundamental researches, and the youngest are not sufficiently supported in order to accomplish some important projects or Ph.D. theses. The institutions involved to supervise the scientific research from Romania restricted their financial availabilities. We have not reached the high research level from all the countries of

Sperm c viitorul va rezolva i aceast problem spinoas n Romnia. n concluzie, putem afirma, cu toate neajunsurile, lipsurile i greutile din ultima perioad, c ntre cele dou simpozioane ale SPR, cel de-al VI-lea de la Iai i cel de-al VII-lea ce se va desfura n acest an la Cluj Napoca, c cercetrile paleontologice i biostratigrafice au continuat cu eforturi i angajri importante tiinifice i financiare, din partea tuturor colegilor membri SPR. Important este c i contingentul de tineri studeni geologi, masteranzi i doctoranzi, a fost angajat n munca de cercetare, iar cele dou manifestri tiinifice studeneti de la Iai i Cluj Napoca au fost realizri importante. De asemenea, este de subliniat c tinerii specialiti i-au definit maturitatea i consacrarea tiinific prin susinerea unor frumoase i valoroase teze de doctorat. De menionat aici c noul sistem de organizare al doctoratelor n Romnia nu este optim i pentru doctoratele n Geologie n general, i n special pentru Paleontologie i Biostratigrafie. Timpul acordat n noul sistem pentru pregtire tezei de doctorat este insuficient avnd n vedere etapa de teren, etapa de lucru n laborator i etapa de elaborare a tezei de doctorat. ncheiem totui cu gnduri bune i cu optimism pe care le transmitem tuturor specialitilor paleontologi i biostratigrafi, mulumindu-le pentru munca lor, pentru eforturile pe care le-au depus i, n final, pentru rezultatele obinute.

Buletin nr. 16, septembrie 2009 the European Union, although we made important steps in raising the quality of the scientific research. We hope the future also will solve this thorny problem in Romania. Concluding, we may assert that, in spite of all drawbacks, lacks and difficulties from the last period, between the last two symposiums of the RSP, the VIth from Iai and the VIIth which will take place in Cluj Napoca, the paleontological and biostratigraphical research continued with efforts and important scientific and financial commitments, coming from all colleagues members of the RSP. Important is the fact that the team of young Geology students, Master degree or Ph.D. students, was involved in the research work, and both of the student scientific manifestations from Iai and Cluj represent great accomplishes. Also, we have to mention that the young specialists defined their scientific maturity and acknowledgement by presenting some beautiful and valuable Ph.D. theses. Also, we have to specify that the new Ph.D. organizing system in Romania is not an optimal one, generally for the Geology Ph.D. ones, and especially for the Paleontology and Biostratigraphy ones. The granted time in the new system for preparing a Ph.D. thesis is insufficient, considering the field stage, the laboratory stage and the stage of elaborating the Ph.D. thesis itself. In spite of all these, we conclude optimistic and with good thoughts which we wish further to all paleontologists and biostratigraphs, thanking for their work, for their efforts and, in the end, for the obtained results. Good luck to the organizers of the VIIth Symposium of the RSP from Cluj Napoca!

Societatea Paleontologilor din Romnia LIUBA Cronica cercetrilor unui un pui de mamut I. n luna mai 2007, n urma surprii unei lentile de ghea din malul rului Iuribei din raionul Iamal, Districtul Autonom Yamalo-Nene, a fost gsit cadavrul criogenat al unui pui de mamut de ctre cresctorul de reni Iurii Vivoci Hudi. Specimenul s-a dovedit a fi o femel i a fost denumit Liuba, dup numele soiei lui Iurii Hudi. Fosilizarea aproape integral a puiului de mamut a amplificat importana acestei senzaionale descoperiri (Fig.1). II. Ulterior, pe data de 25 mai, o expediie a unei echipe a Complexului muzeistico-expoziional regional Yamalo-Nene n numele lui I.S. emanovschi, sub conducerea lui A.V. Gusev, a transportat puiul de mamut n oraul Salehard i l-a instalat n instalaia frigorific din cadrul muzeului.

Buletin nr. 16, septembrie 2009 LIUBA The research chronicle of a baby mammoth I. In May 2007, as a result of the crumble of an ice lens from the Yuribei River side, Yamal Peninsula, YamalNenets Autonomous District, the cryogenized corpse of a baby mammoth was found by Yuri Khudi, a reindeer breeder. The specimen proved to be a female and it was named Lyuba, after the name of Yuri Khudis wife. The almost entire fossilization of the baby mammoth amplified the importance of this sensational discovery (Figure 1). II. Subsequently, on May the 25th, an expedition of a team from the Yamal-Nenet regional exhibitingmuseum complex on behalf of I.S. Shemanovski, leaded by A.V. Gusev, transported the baby mammoth in the town of Salehard and installed it in the freezer from the museum.

Kosinev (eful Muzeului Institutului de Ecologie a Plantelor i Animalelor, Secia Ural a Academiei de tiine a Rusiei din Ecaterinburg), Iu. K. Burlakov (vicepreedintele Asociaiei Exploratorilor Polari ai Rusiei din Moscova) i B. Buigues (Directorul executiv al Comitetului internaional de cercetare a mamuilor, Frana). Experii au efectuat urmtoarele operaiuni: - descrierea stadiului de conservare a nveliului pros i a formaiunilor cornoase pe pielea puiului de mamut, inclusiv fotofixarea lor; recondiionarea deteriorrilor externe existente; - colectarea unor probe pentru analize microbiologice.

Buletin nr. 16, septembrie 2009 III. At the beginning of June 2007, within the regional exhibiting-museum complex there were performed preliminary researches by a group of experts, among them: P.A. Kosintzev (chief of the museum of the Institute of Ecology of Plants and Animals, Ural Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences from Yekaterinburg), Yu.K. Burlakov (vice-president of the Russian Association of the Polar Explorers from Moscow) and B. Buigues (executive director of the International Committee for mammoth research, France). The experts executed the following operations: - description of the preservation stage of the hairy cover and of the horny formations on the skin of the baby mammoth, including their photofixation; - reconditioning of the existent external degradations; - collecting some samples for the microbiological analyses.

Kosinev. IV. Pe 2-8 iulie 2007 datorit interesului imens declanat la conferin de stadiul cvasiintegral de preservare al exemplarului, grupa de cercetare a revenit completat cu noi experi: A.N. Tihonov (Secretar tiinific al Comitetului de cercetare a mamuilor din Federaia Rus, Director-adjunct al Institutului de Zoologie al Academiei de tiine a Rusiei, Directorul Muzeului Zoologic, Sanct-Peterburg); D. Fischer (profesor la Universitatea din Michigan, eful Muzeului Paleontologic, SUA); A. Rauntri (doctorand la Universitatea din Michigan, SUA); S. Goman (doctorand la Universitatea din Minneapolis, SUA). Experii au reconfirmat unicitatea descoperirii i au conceput un program privind condiiile de pstrare a exemplarului i de diseminare a memorabilei descoperiri, precum i de dezvoltare, n general, a cercetrilor tiinifice internaionale ale fosilelor de acest tip. Consecinele realizrii acestui program vor fi: - perfecionarea metodelor tiinifice de pstrare i expunere a unor astfel de descoperiri; - aprofundarea cauzelor dispariiei faunei de mamui, a modificrilor paleoclimatice din Cuaternar i selectarea elementelor care pot prognoza astfel de schimbri n viitor; concretizarea potenialului administrativ, istoric i natural al Districtului autonom Iamalo-Nene n colaborri cu organizaiile tiinifice reprezentative din lume implicate n cercetarea Cuaternarului; - promovarea internaional a importanei tiinifice, specificului socio-cultural, potenialului economic

Buletin nr. 16, septembrie 2009 Also, there was decided to inform the scientific community about the new epochal discovery at the IVth International Conference for Mammoth Research from Yakutsk June 18-22, 2007, in a communication of P.A. Kosintzev. IV. On July the 2nd-8th, 2007, due to the great interest determined at the conference by the quasi-integral preservation stage of the exemplar, the research group came back completed by new experts: A.N. Tihonov (scientific secretary of the Mammoth Research Committee from Russian Federation, assistant director of the Institute of Zoology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, director of the Zoological Museum, Sankt Petersburg), D. Fischer (professor at the Michigan University, chief of the Paleontological Museum, USA), A. Rauntri (Ph.D. student at the Michigan University, USA), S. Goman (Ph.D. student at the Minneapolis University, USA). The experts confirmed the oneness of the discovery and conceived a program for the preservation conditions of the exemplar and for dissemination of the memorable discovery, and, generally, for the developing of the international scientific researches of this-type fossils. The consequences of realizing this program will be: - perfecting the scientific methods for preserving and exposing of such discoveries; - looking into the causes for the disappearing of the mammoth fauna, for the paleoclimatic changes from Quaternary and the selection of the elements which could foresee such changes for the future; - materializing the administrative, historical and natural potential of the Yamal-Nenets autonomous district in different collaborations with the representative scientific organizations

De asemenea, au fost luate probe pentru datarea vrstei absolute a puiului de mamut, precum i pentru alte analize. V. Pe 16-29 august 2007, o nou expediie condus de P. A. Kosinev a avut ca scop depistarea locului unde a fost gsit puiul de mamut pentru a observa condiiile din teren i a colecta probe n vederea descifrrii condiiilor de fosilizare i a habitatului natural iniial. Colaboratorii expediiei au depistat lentila de ghea cuaternar, n care, cel mai probabil, zcea puiul de mamut pn la prbuirea malului, au fost luate probe pentru analize sporopolinice n vederea datrii stratului i pentru determinarea insectelor ancestrale. Cu aceast ocazie a fost recoltat i o colecie de piese osteologice ale altor reprezentani ai faunei cuaternare: a unui mamut adult, a calului slbatic, renului polar i ce este mai interesant a bizonului primitiv (deoarece, pn n prezent piesele bizonului au fost colectate doar n regiunile mai sudice ale Siberiei de Vest). VI. n octombrie 2007 au fost efectuate noi investigaii asupra puiului de mamut de ctre o grup de experi n componena: A .N. Tihonov; Iu. K. Burlakov; P. A. Kosinev; B. Buigues; N.

Also, there were yielded samples in order to date the absolute age of the baby mammoth, as well as for other analyses. V. On August the 16th-29th, 2009, a new expedition leaded by P.A. Kosintzev proposed to find the place the baby mammoth had been discovered, in order to observe the field conditions and to collect the samples for making out the fossilization conditions and the initial natural habitat. The co-workers of the expedition found the Quaternary ice lens, where, most probably, the baby mammoth had been laying until the crumble of the river side, there were yielded samples for the sporal-pollinic analyses in order to date the layer and to determine the ancestral insects. Also, there was yielded a collection of osteological pieces of other representatives of the Quaternary fauna: of an adult mammoth, of a wild horse, of a polar reindeer and what it is most important of a primitive bison (because, up to these days, the pieces of the bison were yielded only from southern regions of Western Siberia). VI. In October, 2007, new investigations on the baby mammoth were performed by a group of experts among them: A.N. Tihonov, Yu.K. Burlakov, P.A. Kosintzev, B. Buigues, N.

Societatea Paleontologilor din Romnia VII. La sfritul lunii noiembrie 2007, cercettorii Institutului de Ecologie a Plantelor i Animalelor, Secia Ural a Academiei de tiine din Rusia, oraul Ecaterinburg, au efectuat cercetarea microbiotei puiului de mamut, aceste investigaii prezentnd un interes deosebit i din punct de vedere al microbiologiei contemporane. Probele colectate de pe suprafaa corpului puiului de mamut au fost analizate n condiiile de laborator din cadrul institutului. Analizele efectuate au permis identificarea pe suprafaa corpului a unei variate comuniti microbiene, fr s fie depistate organisme patogene vdite. Au fost efectuate noi recomandri care s prentmpine nmulirea microorganismelor. VIII. n decembrie 2007 puiul de mamut a fost transportat n Japonia, la Institutul medical al reprezentrilor nalte Dzikei (Tokio), unde, sub conducerea prof. N. Suzuki, a fost efectuat scanarea tridimensional a fosilei. Special pentru aceste lucrri a fost construit un tomograf i capsula special de care am amintit, lucrrile pentru montare durnd 3 luni. Profesorul N. Suzuki a detaliat cu aceast ocazie urmtoarele aspecte : - reprezentarea aspectului exterior al animalului; - structura scheletului; - structura intern a organismului puiului de mamut n corelare cu aspectul exterior; - cercetarea detaliat a dinilor; - starea i structura organelor interne. Toate msurtorile biometrice asupra Liubei, aspectul seciunilor bidimensionale, ct i reprezentrile tridimensionale au fost efectuate digital i sunt pstrate ntr-o baz de date.

Buletin nr. 16, septembrie 2009 VII. At the end of November, 2007, the researchers from The Institute of Ecology of Plants and Animals, Ural Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences, from Yekaterinburg, performed the research of the microbiotics of the baby mammoth, these investigation also presenting a special interest for the contemporaneous microbiology. The yielded samples from the surface of the body for the baby mammoth were analyzed in laboratory conditions within the institute. The performed analyses allowed the identification on the surface of the body of a varied microbial community, without being found clear pathogenic organisms. There were performed new recommendations in order to stop the increasing of the microorganisms. VIII. In December, 2007, the baby mammoth was transported in Japan, at the Medical Institute of Dzikie High Representations (Tokyo), where, leaded by Professor N. Suzuki, there was performed the tridimensional scanning of the fossil. Especially for these workings, there were built a tomograph and the special capsule we previously reminded, the assembling works taking 3 months. Professor N. Suzuki detailed with this occasion the following aspects: - representation of the exterior aspect of the animal; - structure of the skeleton; - internal structure of the organism of the baby mammoth in correlation with the exterior aspect; - detailed research of the teeth; - stage and the structure of the internal organs. All the biometrical measurements on Lyuba, the aspect of the bidimensional sections, as well as the tridimensional representations were digitally performed and they are preserved in a data bank.

Integritatea capului i celorlalte pri ale corpului sunt evidente i potenteaz importana descoperirii. Setul de date dup craniul Liubei include structura cavitii craniene, resturile fosilizate ale membranelor craniene, timpanele auditive, cavitile nazale, cavitile sinusale i mandibula cifrat. Particule de sol sunt prezente n tromp i n cavitatea bucal, ceea ce ne vorbete despre posibila cauz a morii: varianta cea mai plauzibil este c puiul de mamut s-a nnecat. n cavitatea toracic sunt prezeni ambii plmni n stare sudat, de asemenea i inima, n cadrul creia se pot diferenia prile stng i dreapt ale atriilor. Au fost observate glanda thimus, esofagul, bronhiile i aorta. n cavitatea abdominal s-a identificat ficatul de dimensiuni mari cu venele normale i hepatice vizibile; de asemenea au fost localizate stomacul, splina, rinichii, vezica urinar i organele de nmulire nedezvoltate. The integrity of the head and of the other parts of the body is obvious and emphasizes the importance of the discovery. The data set for the Lyubas head includes the structure of the cranial cavity, the fossilized rests of the cranial membranes, the auditory tympana, the nasal cavities, the sinus cavities and the ciphered mandible. Soil particles are present within the trunk and in the oral cavity, concluding on the possible cause of death: the most plausible variant is that the baby mammoth drowned itself. In the thoracic cavity both lungs are present in a welded stage, and also within the heart there could be differentiated the right and the left sides of the atriums. There were observed the thymus gland, the esophagus, the bronchial ways and the aorta. In the abdominal cavity, there were identified the liver with increased dimensions with visible normal and hepatic veins; also, there were

The structure of the intestine could be easily noticed because it is extended over a large part of the abdominal cavity. There are not visible deteriorations of the skeletal bones, the grease tissues appear in the abdominal cavity and on the neck backside. The last one confirms that, during the droughty periods, the mammoths accumulated water and grease reserves similar to the nowadays camels. Therefore, for the first time, there was cumulated a sufficient quantity of detailed information about the anatomical structure and about the internal organs of the mammoth. The data will be thoroughly reworked by the specialized researchers in imaging analysis, contributing to understanding process of the anatomical and functional structure of the wooly mammoth. At the present, it takes place the process of making out of the tissues surrounding the internal organs and the skeleton, as well as the structure of the articulations and of the muscular system. The DNA samples are at work. Also, there will be yielded samples by histologists, cytologists, geneticists, etc. IX. On February the 12th, 2008, the baby mammoth Lyuba was transported without incidents in Sankt Petersburg, at the Institute of Zoology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in order to continue the researches and its exposure to the visitors. For the first time, there was offered the possibility to see together three baby mammoths, in this institution already being present the babies Masha and Dima, previously discovered in Yamal Peninsula and in Magadan region (Yakutia).

Societatea Paleontologilor din Romnia In Memoriam Profesor dr. Iustinian Petrescu

Buletin nr. 16, septembrie 2009 In Memoriam Ph.D. Professor Iustinian Petrescu We remember Professor Petrescu 25-30 years ago. A powerful darkhaired man, always active, looking to use every minute for the teaching activity, to find a paper work in the library, to write a few lines for a book or to have another level in his researches. At the classes, he had the gift to animate the students, passionately speaking about the formations of Earth, outlining, with own interpretations or descriptions and observations coming from his personal experience, the concepts which formed the object of his lectures. In his few respite moments between the classes, his pure and convincing voiced could be heard, in conversations with his colleagues, along the corridors of the faculty. Probably, the biggest satisfaction represented the research work he could spend lots of hours in front of the microscope, sketching with firm movements on a notebook the pollen grains extracted from cores or from the samples yielded with lot of work from the field. Oh, look, a walnut tree more beautiful than in the book! A pine, a spruce fir, an exotic oak..., he delightedly reconstructed, starting from the minuscule pollen grains, the forests which millions and tens of millions of years ago were swinging all over the present territories of Oltenia, in Slaj or Jiu Valley or in some other parts of the country. His contagious enthusiasm draw the attention of a plied of disciples, each trying to taste the satisfaction of entering the mysteries of the bygone worlds. Beside the generous and unconditioned initiative, this represented the base Professor Petrescu built a school. Moreover, the construction he created was not oriented just towards the field he had

Un brbat brunet, n puterea vrstei, mereu n micare, cutnd s foloseasc fiecare minut pentru activitatea didactic, pentru a cuta un articol n bibliotec, pentru a mai scrie cteva rnduri la o carte sau pentru a mai face un pas n cercetrile sale. La cursuri, avea darul de a nsuflei studenii, vorbind cu patos despre devenirile planetei Pmnt, punctnd cu interpretri proprii sau descrieri i observaii izvorte din experiena personal, conceptele ce alctuiau obiectul prelegerii. n puinele clipe de rgaz dintre cursuri, i se auzea vocea limpede i convingtoare, schimbnd o vorb cu colegii, pe coridoarele facultii. Probabil, cea mai mare satisfacie i-o producea munca de cercetare putea s petreac multe ore n ir intuit n faa microscopului, schind cu micri ferme pe un caiet gruncioarele de polen extrase din carote sau din probele culese cu mult trud de pe teren. A, uite un nuc mai frumos dect n carte! Un pin, un molid, un stejar exotic..., reconstituia cu ncntare, pornind de la minusculele granule de

Societatea Paleontologilor din Romnia polen, pdurile ce n urm cu milioane sau zeci de milioane de ani se legnau pe teritoriile actuale ale Olteniei, n Slaj sau Valea Jiului sau n alte pri ale rii. Entuziasmul su molipsitor a atras o pleiad de discipoli, ncercnd fiecare s guste satisfacia de a ptrunde n tainele lumilor de mult apuse. Alturi de iniativ generoas i necondiionat, aceasta a fost baza pe care Profesorul Petrescu a cldit o coal. Mai mult dect att, construcia pe care a creat-o nu a fost orientat numai spre domeniul pe care el nsui l-a cultivat, ci ctre orice discipline de care Geologia clujean avea nevoie i care puteau contribui la consolidarea acesteia. Profesorul Petrescu a fost nzestrat cu o nclinare spre chibzuin i diplomaie ce l-au ajutat s rezolve problemele curente i s soluioneze cu elegan potenialele conflicte, mai mari sau mai mici, ce amenin coeziunea unei comuniti. Aceste caliti au fost demonstrate cu prisosin n perioadele ct a ndeplinit funcia de Decan, mai ni la Facultatea de Biologie, Geografie i Geologie, iar mai trziu la tiina Mediului. Activitatea tiinific a Profesorului Petrescu rmne un model, chiar dac cerettorii de astzi au la dispoziie instrumente mult mai evoluate i mai performante dect n urm cu 30 sau 40 de ani. Studiile sale, n numr de peste 150, au aprut n prestigioase reviste naionale i internaionale. A publicat mai mult de 20 de cri, unele dintre ele reprezentnd premiere pentru tiina romneasc. Amintim aici Plante fosile, Palinologie, Geologia zcmintelor de crbuni, Macro i microflora oligocen de la CornetiAghire, la acesta din urm colabornd cu Academicianul Rzvan Givulescu, un alt mare cercettor al plantelor fosile, care ne-a prsit nu demult. De

Buletin nr. 16, septembrie 2009 cultivated, but also towards any subject the Geology from Cluj needed and which could contribute to its consolidations. Professor Petrescu was endowed with wisdom and diplomacy which helped him to solve the current problems and to elegantly solve the potential conflicts, smaller or bigger, which threatened the cohesion of one community. These qualities were proved especially during the periods when he was Dean, firstly for the Faculty of Biology, Geography and Geology, and latter for the Environment Sciences one. The scientific activity of Professor Petrescu remains a model even if the present researchers have more advanced and achieving instruments than 30 or 40 years ago. His studies, over 150, were published in prestigious national and international reviews. He published more than 20 books, some of them representing premieres for the Romanian science. We mention Fossil plants, Palynology, Geology of the Coal Deposits, Oligocene Macro and Microflora from Corneti-Aghireti, the last one representing the collaboration with Academician Rzvan Givulescu, another great researcher of the fossil plants, which left us short time ago. Also, he tried to make the Geology known for the public at large, by works addressed to a widespread range of readers. Among the last ones: Algeria Roads and Stops, Giants Among the Ancient Livings, Earth A Geological Biography. Unfortunately, Professor Petrescu left us too early, when he had so much to accomplish. He felt down ceased by a cruel disease which he resisted with obstinacy for the last two years. Always animated by optimism, he continuously had plans for the future, as the each day was abyssal, as our lives were endless.

Born on March the 17th, 1943, in Bucharest, as the child of Gheorghe and Filofteia, father of three children (Bogdan Mihai 38 years, electronic engineer; Gabriela Camelia 36 years, psychologist and Vlad-Clin Alexandru 22 years, IT engineer), Ph.D. Professor Nicolae icleanu graduated the Faculty of Geology and Geography of the University of Bucharest in 1966. His wife, Elena icleanu, former researcher for the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, at the present retired, was his partner in an exemplar life and devotedly took care of him until the last moment. Top-specialist of the Romanian Geologic Institute, he carried on a rich and a meritorious activity along 30 years, mentioned in numerous records, scientific memories and published papers, most of them of Paleobotanics. The excellent theoretical qualification and his long practice in this field place him beside the remarkable paleobotanists of Romania the regretted Rzvan Givulescu, Alexandru Semaka and Justinian Petrescu. In 1993, he becomes Ph.D. in Geology for the same university, with his thesis Genetic Study of the Main Neogene Coal Deposits from Romania based on the Specific Paleophytocenosis, as Special Regards for Oltenia. In 1997, as a natural result of his professional merits, he becomes professor at the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics at the University of
