Abstract

A complete inventory of 16 mineral type localities and 1 rock type locality in Romania, as well as their assessed geoheritage characteristics and values are presented for the first time. Thirty-nine mineral species, one chemical element and one common rock type were discovered, described and named in Romania. Most of these are closely linked to traditional mining areas: the Baia Mare region, the Apuseni Mts. and the Banat region. Three mineral type localities are outstandingly rich: Săcărâmb/Nagyág in the southern Apuseni Mts. (8 new minerals), Baia Sprie/Felsőbánya in the Baia Mare region (6 new minerals), and Băița Bihor/Rézbánya in the Northern Apuseni Mts. (6 new minerals). The scientific, educational and touristic value and significance of the type localities regarded as „geosites” and „geodiversity sites” are discussed. Based on the quantitative assessment of the scientific, educational and touristic values, the type localities were hierarchically classified, Baia Sprie, Săcărâmb and Măgura Uroiului being the highest ranked. From the geoconservation perspective, site protection and valuation strategies at local and/or regional scales are envisaged.

罗马尼亚的矿物和岩石类型地点及其潜在的地质遗产价值

首次完整列出了罗马尼亚的 16 个矿物类型地点和 1 个岩石类型地点，并对其地质遗产特征和价值进行了评估。在罗马尼亚发现、描述和命名了 39 种矿物、1 种化学元素和 1 种常见岩石类型。其中大部分与传统矿区密切相关：巴亚马雷地区、阿普塞尼山和巴纳特地区。有三个矿产地的矿产资源非常丰富：阿普塞尼山脉南部的 Săcărâmb/Nagyág （8 种新矿物）、巴亚马雷地区的 Baia Sprie/Felsőbánya （6 种新矿物）以及阿普塞尼山脉北部的 Băița Bihor/Rézbánya （6 种新矿物）。讨论了被视为 "地质遗址 "和 "地质多样性遗址 "的类型地点的科学、教育和旅游价值及意义。根据对科学、教育和旅游价值的定量评估，对类型地点进行了分级，其中 Baia Sprie、Săcărâmb 和 Măgura Uroiului 的等级最高。从地质保护的角度，设想了地方和/或区域范围的遗址保护和评估战略。

期刊介绍： The Geoheritage journal is an international journal dedicated to discussing all aspects of our global geoheritage, both in situ and portable. The journal will invite all contributions on the conservation of sites and materials - use, protection and practical heritage management - as well as its interpretation through education, training and tourism. The journal wishes to cover all aspects of geoheritage and its protection. Key topics are: - Identification, characterisation, quantification and management of geoheritage; - Geodiversity and geosites; - On-site science, geological and geomorphological research: - Global scientific heritage - key scientific geosites, GSSPs, stratotype conservation and management; - Scientific research and education, and the promotion of the geosciences thereby; - Conventions, statute and legal instruments, national and international; - Integration of biodiversity and geodiversity in nature conservation and land-use policies; - Geological heritage and Environmental Impact Assessment studies; - Geological heritage, sustainable development, community action, practical initiatives and tourism; - Geoparks: creation, management and outputs; - Conservation in the natural world, Man-made and natural impacts, climate change; - Geotourism definitions, methodologies, and case studies; - International mechanisms for conservation and popularisation - World Heritage Sites, National Parks etc.; - Materials, data and people important in the history of science, museums, collections and all portable geoheritage; - Education and training of geoheritage specialists; - Pedagogical use of geological heritage - publications, teaching media, trails, centres, on-site museums; - Linking the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005- 2014) with geoconservation.
