New data on the Early - Middle Badenian transition in the NW Transylvanian Basin (Romania) revealed by the planktonic foraminifera assemblages

The planktonic foraminifera assemblages recovered from two cores drilled in Cluj-Napoca (NW Transylvanian Basin) demonstrate connections of the basin to the open seas before the middle Badenian evaporite deposition. Assemblages suggest clear changes in the environments, with an initial transgressive...
