THE ALPINE KARST 0F RETEZAT M0UNTAINS (ROMANIA) - The limestone area of the Retezat Mountains (2079 m), in the Carpathian range (Transylvania), is the principal alpine karst of Romania. It is formed by a syncline structure of jurassic limestone covering a crystalline precambrian basement. The mountain climate is wet (1400 mm/year) and continental. The glacio-karstic morphology (glacial cirque, dry valleys) is developed on a tertiary polygenic surface folded and uplifted since the Oligocene and Neogene. The catchment basin (85 km2) feeds the “Izvorul Cernei” karst spring (0,5-10 m3/s), the most important of Romania. Water tracings (s = 55 m/h) and statistical studies on caves suggest the development of a complex karst system. 50% of underground waters come from the running off on the precambrian basement and explain the rate of sodium. The majority of the potholes and “glacières” are situated above 1700m; the deepest is “Stîna Tomii” cave (-136m) with a 115m direct pit.
The Lithophagus cave system hosts interesting mono- and polycrystalline calcite speleothems (stalactites, stalagmites, crystals, helictites, fongites). Our studies allowed us to identify the crystallographic forms that build up these speleothems, the presence of twins and several generations of crystals. The main growth directions were identified for the helictites. The interpretation of the statistic data enables us to highlight the relationships between crystallographic forms that appear on some speleothems, their frequency, and the different cave environments.
