title: Bauxite of Cornet
text: # Bauxite of Cornet
  
  The Bauxite of Cornet is a geological formation in Romania whose strata date back to the Early Cretaceous. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation. It exists as karstic sediments infilling fissures and caves in limestone.
  
  The formation was discovered in a former bauxite mine near Cornet and Oradea during a mine explosion in 1978 but the mine flooded in 1999 so further excavations of the formation are currently impossible.
