Abstract. Marine organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts have been studied from the Early and Middle Miocene of the Central Paratethys in Austria (Vienna and eastern Alpine Foreland basins) and Hungary (Pannonian Basin), and compared with assemblages of similar age from the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. The presence of a diverse flora of 71 taxa, including such biostratigraphical markers as Apteodinium spiridoides, Cerebrocysta poulsenii, Cordosphaeridium cantharellus, Cribroperidinium tenuitabulatum, Exochosphaeridium insigne, Glaphyrocysta reticulosa s.l., Habibacysta tectata, Labyrinthodinium truncatum subsp. truncatum, Palaeocystodinium miocaenicum, and Unipontidinium aquaeductus, has allowed the establishment of five biozones that characterize the Ottnangian, Badenian and Sarmatian local stages (collectively equivalent to the mid-Burdigalian, upper Langhian and Serravallian stages). This is the first study to demonstrate the applicability of dinoflagellate cysts for detailed stratigraphic correlation and palaeoenvironmental interpretation in the Early and Middle Miocene of the Central Paratethys area.

Tuffaceous layers are regularly preserved in Miocene carbonate and siliciclastic sediments of the Dinarides and Eastern Alps in southeastern and central Europe. Detailed mineralogical and geochemical analyses of 13 tuffs of known ages acquired from sedimentary successions of the intramontane Dinarides basins and the southwestern Pannonian Basin were carried out to infer on plausible source areas, relative strengths of volcanism, and ash distribution patterns. Studied tuffs were altered to various degrees with illite-smectite and smectite as dominant phases while volcanic glass, carbonates, and other silicates are minor constituents. Tuffs’ compositions range from andesite through trachyandesite to rhyolite and trachyte. Trace-element based correlation with regional data reveal that lower (LM) and lower middle Miocene (LMM) tuffs (17.0-14.0 Ma) likely originated in the Western Carpathians (the Bükkalja volcanic field) while source areas of upper middle Miocene (UMM) tuffs (13.8-12.5 Ma) were in the Apuseni Mountains and/or Eastern Carpathians. The spatial relation of LM/LMM and UMM tuffs with respect to their source areas (Bükkalja and Apuseni Mountains, respectively) is most consistent with tropospheric easterly trade winds that carried ash hundreds of kilometres to the south-west toward an azimuth of ∼200-250°.Supplementary material: Annotated X-ray diffractograms of the global and clay fraction of studied tuffs and AFM classification diagram are available at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.5429592

New finds of teeth and mandibles of Anchitheriomys from the Hambach opencast lignite mine in Northwest Germany and the first detailed descriptions of other mandibles from South Germany and Switzerland allow a review of the Central European specimens of this rare beaver genus. The metric variation of cheek teeth and especially the great differences in dimensions of incisors can be much better assessed. The observed range in size can be attributed to ontogenetic changes, and all material is assigned to Anchitheriomys suevicus. Stratigraphically, this species is restricted to the early middle Miocene, European Mammalian Neogene biozones MN 5–6.

Odontarrhena tortuosa is a herbaceous species occurring in steppe and rocky habitats of Eurasia. The present study is focused on the cytogeography and morphological variation of the species’ populations growing in the Pannonian basin (Central Europe), which represents the westernmost part of its distribution area. Flow cytometric analyses have revealed the existence of tetraploid populations, which are reported here for the first time for Central Europe. We analysed the morphological variation of 329 individuals from Slovakia, Hungary and Serbia by multivariate morphometric methods to evaluate morphological differences between two cytotypes (diploids and tetraploids), between the subspecies (O. tortuosa subsp. tortuosa and O. tortuosa subsp. heterophylla) and between populations growing in three regions differing in the type of substrate (rocks, sand dunes and sandy and rocky screes). Although we have not found any clear morphological differences between the cytotypes, we have confirmed several previously reported morphological differences between the two subspecies, which occur in regions differing in the type of substrate. Flow cytometric data also indicate certain differences in monoploid genome size between all groups of populations under comparison. Populations from Serbia differ from other populations of O. tortuosa subsp. tortuosa in morphology and genome size, but due to a lack of data on the genetic variation of the species we suggest no change in taxonomy. For the identification of the two subspecies, we present an updated determination key.
