Repedea Hill Fossil Site, Nature reserve in Iași County, Romania.
The reserve spans 44.3 hectares and features limestone walls, former quarries, caves, and sections of the structural plateau at the boundary of the Moldavian Plateau.
Professor Grigore Cobălcescu initiated geological studies at Repedea Hill in 1862, publishing findings about local fossil fauna that became foundational for Romanian geology.
The Repedea Hill reserve serves as an educational center where students and researchers examine geological formations and study marine fossils from the Sarmatian period.
The protected area includes a scientific zone of 5.8 hectares and a buffer zone of 38.5 hectares, with regulated access to preserve geological formations.
The limestone deposits contain over 40 species of fossilized mollusks from the ancient Paratethys Sea, including Cerithium, Cardium, Solen, and Venus specimens.
