Abstract
The present study, based on foliar remains, deals with the Chiuzbaia fossil flora of Maramures. The total number of collected samples is of about 10000. The number of taxons is very large, being the richest and most representative flora in the field of Paratethys. New families, new species and new genera for the Romanian fossil flora have been described here. This fossil forest type that can be actually compared with the “mixed mesophytic forest” from the Appalachian Mountains, or the Beech-Maple-Forest in the southern part of North America.
