These will be reported in detail in a future publication. Palynological evidence indicates that the Maykopian is a regressive unit characterised by upwardly-increasing terrestrial input (upwardly-increasing pollen and spore content). Micropalaeontological and sediinentological evidence also indicates shallowing upward.

These will be reported in detail in a future publication. Palynological evidence indicates that the Maykopian is a regressive unit characterised by upwardly-increasing terrestrial input (upwardly-increasing pollen and spore content). Micropalaeontological and sediinentological evidence also indicates shallowing upward. Tarkhanian to Konkian (Figs 8-10) These stages have collectively been correlated with the Badenian of Central Paratethys (see, for instance, Steininger et al. in Royden & Horvath, 1987). The Badenian is Middle Miocene (planktonic foraminiferal zones N8-7N12 (see, for instance, Papp et 1968, Rogl ef a/., 1978 and Papp & Schmid, 1985); calcareous nannoplankton zones NN5-NN7 (see, for instance, Rogl et al., 1978, Papp & Schmid, 1985 and Meszaros, 1992)). Palynologically, it is locally characterised by mangrove elements (Nagy&Kokay, 1991). The base of the Badenian (the Moravian sub-stage of Papp et al. (1978) (Lagenid Zone)) is defined at the first appearance of the planktonic foraminifer Praeorhulina (Zone N8) (Papp et al, 1968). The first appearance of the ancestral form Glohigerinoides bisphericus. which defines the base of Zone N8 (Blow, 1969), falls within the underlying Karpatian (Cicha et al, 1967). This biostratigraphic control indicates that the base of the Badenian can be correlated with the (glacio-eustatic) sea-level low-stand of Haq et al. (1988) (Fig. 5). The middle part of the Badenian (the Wielician sub-stage of Papp et al. (1978) (Sandschaler Zone)) is characterised by marginal marine sediments (including evaporites). This regressive sub-stage can be tentatively calibrated against planktonic foraminiferal Zones N10-N12 or calcareous nannoplankton zones NN5-NN6 (see, for instance, Rogl et al. (1978) and Papp & Schmid (1985)). The onset of regressive conditi
