The badenian marine fauna from Neagonea Valley (Mehedinfi County) Description.lrreguhu; colonies, with round calices sometimes garbled. Calices stuck between them, rises about 1 mm above the surface of the colony. Inside the calices is observed at least 12 main blades that meet in the center on columelle. Order Hexacoralia Genus Solenastraea, A. E. Reuss, 1864 Solenastraea manipulata Reuss, 1871 (Pl. I , Fig. 3) 1909 Solenastraea manipulata, Macovei, p. 135, pl. IX, fig.3 1972 Solenastraea manipulata, Macarovici, Turculey pag. 181, pi. LVI, fig. 10 1973 Solenastrea manipulata, Clichici, pl. XIX, fig. 10. Description. Colonies of circular calices with a diameter of lesser than about 2 mm, which rises above the level of the intercalice. The two fragments are identical to those listed by Clichici (1973). Large colony, well individualized polipyers with 3 mm diameter, separated by spaces 1 mm wide. Septa are extended outwards. Remarks. The species Solenastraea manipulata Reuss was reported in the Badenian limestone from Curchia in Bahna basin and in the eastern side of the §imleu basin. Genus Heliastraea, Heliastrea conoidea Reuss, 1871 (Pl. I, Figs. 4-7) 1909 Solenastraea conoidea Macovei, p. 132—123, pl.VII, fig.5 1972 Solenastraea conoides Macarovici, Turculey p. 181, pi. LVI, fig. 5 1973 Soleastrea manipulata Clichici, pl. XIX, fig. 10. Description. Conic colony, elongated, with circular calices, joined. Their edge rises well above the intercalicial space. The diameter of polipyers is 2—3 mm, separated by 1 mm. Remarks. Marinescu et al. (1962) reported this species at Parlagé. Heliastraea reussiana Edwards & Heime, 1953 (Pl. II , Figs. 1,2) 1909 Heliastraea reussiana, Macovei, pl.VII, fig.5 a,b 1972 Heliastraea reussiana, Macarovici, Turculey pag. 181, pi. LVI, fig. 5 1973 Heliastraea reussiana, Clichici, pl. XIX, fig. 9 Description. Irregular colony with polipyers well individualized, with circular diameter of 2.5-3 mm, separated spaces with irregular widths of 1-2 mm. Around the calices are 24 prominent septa. Remarks. This species differs from Solenastraea manipulata by irregular spaces between polipyers and the lack of columelar axis.
