Toltrele Prutului, Geological formation in Druța, Moldova.

The limestone formations of Toltrele Prutului stretch along the Middle Prut River for 200 kilometers, from Criva village to Cobani village.

The formations originated 10 to 20 million years ago during the Tortonian and Sarmatian periods when tropical seas covered the region of Moldova.

The limestone reefs of northern Moldova share their genesis with the Australian coral chain, now visible on land due to substrate elevation.

Several sections of these geological formations received protection status through state decisions and laws issued in 1975 and 1998.

These formations contain fossils of corals, mollusks, shells, calcareous algae, and other marine organisms from ancient tropical seas.
