Middle Miocene siltstones of the Skawina Formation that crop out at Wislica, within the axial part of the Carpathian Foredeep in Poland, were analysed. The deposits studied contain numerous benthic and planktonic foraminifera, ostracods, echinoid spines, bryozoans, bivalves and otoliths. The fossils recognised document an early 'Badenian' (= Langhi...

... the sandy siltstone and siltstone a few bi- valves (Fig. 4) were collected; these comprise oysters (Pycnodonte sp.), pectinids (Amussium sp., Aequipect- en cf. macrotis, Pecten besseri, Chlamys cf. scabrella), nuculids (Nucula nucleus) and myoids (Glossus hu- manus). In view of the fact that shells were mostly crushed, identification was not straightforward. Mi- crofossils in these samples are ...

In the eastern Mediterranean, the island of Crete offers excellent exposures of upper Miocene marine deposits. Three detailed sections of the Tortonian/Messinian sedimentary succession were measured and sampled in three different basins (from west to east: Chania, Heraklion, and Sitia). The biostratigraphic analysis based on planktonic foraminifera...
