| Description | The Badenian (Langhian - Early Serravallian) marine sediments from two areas of the Central Paratethys were studied from a palynological perspective. The pollen data document a subtropical climate during the Miocene Climatic Optimum with dominant representation of zonal vegetation being evergreen broadleaved forests. Higher differentiation of oak type pollen, increasing number of Platanus pollen and different types of herb were observed. Some thermophilous elements decreased. Several warm to cold temperate zone taxa increased during the Late Badenian. These findings together with a higher proportion of mountain vegetation in the Late Badenian document changes due to the uplift of the Carpathian Mountain chain. |
