Brachiopods obtained from several Triassic localities in North Dobrogea, in Romania, are described. Upper Spathian and Aegean Hallstatt-type red limestones have been sampled in the Deşli Caira section, proposed as the GSSP for the base of the Anisian. The Bithynian brachiopods mostly originate from the Tubiphytes-microbial buildup in the Mahmudia quarry, and also from the Hallstatt-type limestones of Agighiol and Orta Bair. Their age estimates are supported by ammonoids collected from the same b
