Near the road that connects Ramnicu Valcea of Targu Jiu Valcea village Costesti, nature has created some of the most amazing stone carvings. Bizarre shapes, or millimeter-sized man, continues to emerge as people exploit the sand quarry.Around balatrucilor or Dorobantilor, as the locals call him again was a real tissue folklore: some say that the boulders would have supernatural origins, others would be evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations higher. The fact is that no scientists have failed so far to unravel the mystery entirely trovanti formation, and all I can do now is to imagine that trying to verify them in the laboratory.They argue that the party named in the literature and sandstone concretions would be over 6 million years old and would have occurred due to local cementing sand against a possible seismic activity.
The mysterious world of trovanti, deal Kogayon Association, which administers the Costesti, the world's only museum dedicated trovanti. Here are exposed outdoors, an area of one hectare, over one hundred sculptures of nature. Kogayon Association President, Arch. Barry Stoican, says that "the Costeşti appear on a small space, Trove very different in form, composition and size." Valcea formations differ slightly from the general rule: the very large surface "rise" like, smaller stones. Trovantii here are not the only ones in the country. Such stones are found Feleac Hill (County), on the village Casolt (Sibiu), Buzau Mountains, but in Hasdat (SUA). Main purpose of the Natural Reserve Museum Trovantilor says dr. Barry Stoican, is to protect these geological ensemble: "In the past, some were used Trove probably as building stone. Now they no longer are in danger. There are laws that allow us to take action. " Moreover, almost half of the project budget is used to help visitors understand the importance of protecting the stones.
Locals have their opinions about trovanti, whom they also called "living stones. " Some argue strongly that after a long rain of small Trove come out wet sand and rocks actually grow larger. Experts have not confirmed this myth: "In the world of mineral crystals only grow. Trovantii are basically a bunch of pebbles of different sizes, from submilimetrice up to centimeter, connected by a carbonate cement. I mean, a sandstone or conglomerate, depending on the size of pebbles, "said dr. Barry Stoican, in the opinion which "growth story is unrealistic. We can say, even as trovantii shrink due to natural processes of erosion. "
In Romania and to New Zealand to Antarctica and Greenland, trovantii evoke awe and admiration. Although they are easily recognized even by lay persons, they differ greatly in size, color or consistency and may have the most diverse forms, for example sphere, disk, cylinder ... Interesting are spherical red rocks of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, located in North Dakota, USA, because they were so colorful in their composition iron. While reaching up to 3 meters in diameter concretions here could be considered dwarf beside the Faiyum Depression, Egypt, reaching up to 9 feet and appear to be the largest in the world. Sandstone concretions are found in South Africa, China, Australia, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Russia, Kazakhstan, Spain, France and Czech Republic.Americans trovantii them in Colorado, Wyoming, California, Arkansas, Montana and New York.
