  Abstract:   The Cotumba-Sita-Tǎtaru Sandstones of Teleajen Unit (Upper Aptian – Albian) are relatively wellexposed in the Teleajen Valley (Prahova County, Romania), as predominantly thick and massive sandstone beds.Other facies occurring in the study area include sandstones with several sedimentary structures (e.g., parallel lamination,ripples, convolution), siltstones and mudstones. Almost 200 m long outcrop gives great opportunity forsedimentological study focusing on deep-marine facies and interpretation of exposed deposits. A sedimentologicalstudy of the facies and stacking patters suggest that these rocks were deposited in relatively shallow depositionalchannels with levees and interchannel areas.

Key words: East Carpathians Flysch Zone, channel, turbidite, Teleajen, Romania.
