About the age of the white limestones at the Village of Drenta, Elena District (East Fore-Balkan). Rev. Bulg. Geol. Society, 59,1, 3340. . In the vicinity of the Villlage of Drenta, Elena area, a couple of small spots of white massive biogenic and/or biodetrtic limestones are exposed. Their texture is of ‘grainstone’ type, with shelly debris or ‘mudstone’ (micrite with debris) Rare quartz grains are also present. The age of these limestones is still under discussion and varies within a broad stratigraph- ic interval. They had been assigned to the Barremian (Urgonian type), Senonian or Paleogene. Recently they are considered as ? Paleogene, Analogous limestones crop out as isolated spots or thin, broken stripes to the North of Drenta — between the village of Voneshta boda and Tryavna. In the present study various microfossils are recorded: nannoflora, planktonic and benthic foraminifera and algae. Plank- tic forams and algae data indicate a Selandian age (Zone P3a — lower part, Morosovella angulata — Ignonia interval sub- zone) for the lower part of the section, since the nannofossil data clearly restrict the middle part of the section to the base of the Upper Paleocene (Thanetian) (Fig. 2). A moderately rich nannofossil assemblage has been recovered, containing the species Discoaster mokleri (NP7-9), D. drieveri (NP6-7), D. delicatus (NP7-8), D. lenticularis (NP7-10), Fasciculithus tym- paniformis (NP5-9), Toweius pertusus (NPS-11), Prinsfus martinii (NP3-7), P bisulcus (NP4-9). The co-occurrence of Dis- ‘coaster mohleri D. drieveri and D. delicatus indicates a Late Paleocene age equivalent to the NP7 nannofossil zone. The lowermost and the uppermost parts of the section are barren or contain poorly preserved, non-diagnostic nannofossils. This circumstance impeded the more exact definition of the chronostratigraphic interval of deposition of the limestones near Drenta. ‘A Late Paleocene (Thanetian) age is proved for the limestones in the middle and upper part of the section, but we do not ignore the possibility of Selandian age assignment for its lowermost part. It should be noted that a lot of benthic forams, as well as macrofaune remains are redeposited. The siliciclastic wedge at the middle of the section (packet No 6-9) contains many glauconite grains and intraclasts, and exhibits signs of condensation. ‘The limestones near Drenta are related to the Komarevo Formation, The regional changes in lithology (as a significant domination of detritic, biaclastic limestones and siliciclastic packets with glauconite) are due to the circumstance that they ‘were deposited in the outer margin of the carbonate platform. Two sequence units are recognised in the study section, and possible correlations with the Upper Paleocene sequences in Gabrovo area are presented (Fig. 2, 3). The isolated outcrops near the Village of Furevtzi, Damianovtzi and Stanchov khan demonstrate similar lithology and successions. They should be included in the Komarevo Fm. as well, and are possibly of Late Paleocene age. The limestones near Drenta are correlatable to the Komarevo limestones in NE Bulgaria. They are synchronous to the marls of the Bojuritza Fm in the Central North Bulgaria, Key words: limestones, calcareous nannofossils, planktic foraminifera, Late Paleocene, East Fore-Balkan T. Nikolov, B. Peybernts, K. Stoykova, R. Ciszac, M. Ivanov, M.-J. Fondecave- Wallez. 1998. A propos de l'dge des calcaires de Drenta (Prébalkan Oriental). Rev. Soc. Geol. bulg., 59, 1, 31—3t Résumé. Aux environs du village de Drenta, arrondissement d’Elena (Prébalkan Oriental) sont connus quelques petits ‘affleurements des calcaires blancs massifs et détritiques. Leurs textures sont de type grainstone (sparite), parfois lumach- ellique, ou mudstone (micrite & debris). Le quartz détritique est présent, mais rare, Leur age exact a été jusqu’a présent assez contreversé dans un intervalle stratigraphique tres large: Ces calcaires ont été ainsi rapportés au Barremien (a facies urgon- ien), au Senonien, ou au Paléogine. Quelques auteurs récents considerent qu'ils ont probablement un age paléogine. Des calcaires analogiques existent également, mais avec un aspect different, & l'Ouest du village de Drenta — entre le village de Vonesta Voda et la vile de Tryavna. ‘Au cours de nos recherches, nous avons recueilli de nouvelles données micropaléontologiques, fournies par les Nannofos- siles, les Foraminiféres (planctoniques et benthiques) et les Algues, vertes et rouges. Les Foraminiféres planctoniques et les Algues indiquent un ige'Sélandien “inferieur” (parte inféreure dela sous-zone Pte, ou sous-zone dintervalle a Morazovela ‘angulata — Ignonina) . La nannoflore donne, pour la partie moyenne de la coupe de Drenta, un age plut6t Paléocéne supérieur ‘basal (Thanetien) (fig. 2) Llassociation de Discoaster mohleri, D. drieveri et D. deticatus dans la nannoflore observée signe la zone NP 7 du Paleoctne “supérieur”. Les parties extréme (base et sommet) de la coupe se sont révélées stériles ou contiennent une biophase non caracteristique et mal conservée. A cause de cela, on ne peut pas mieux preciser Vintervalle stratigraphique de l'ensemble des calcaires blancs de Drenta. On le situe dans le Paleocene “supérieur” sensu (ato. Il faut aussi reflechir a V’etat encroute et souvent nettement resédimenté de la plupart des taxons observés, les Foraminiferes notamment. L'intercalation plus terri- 5 Cnncanne wa Bunrapcxoro reosoruuecko apyxectso, xv.1 33 gine (grts glauconieux) de la partie moyenne du profil (horizons NN 6-9) correspond & une probable surface condensé (pic de glauconie et haute énergie). ‘Les “calcaires blancs de Drenta” font partie de Ia Formation de Komarevo. Les variations regionales de leur lithologie se traduisent par une augmentation du detritisme et du caractére biogine en fonction des divers paléoenvironnements de la plate-forme carbonatée externe. Au long de la coupe etudiée, deux séquences de depot successives sont distinguées. Elles permettent de proposer des corrélations avec les séquences homologues du Paléoctne supérieur des environs de la ville de Gabrovo (fig. 2, 3). Les affleurements isolés de Farevtzi, Damianovtzi et Stanchov Han sont lithologiquement semblables et leur age Paleocene supérieur peut étre propost. Les calcaires de Drenta sont les equivalents lateraux a la fois des calcaires dela Formation de Komarevo de 1a Bulgarie du Nord Est et des marnes de la Formation de Bojouritza de la Bulgarie du Centre Nord.
