• Popis: The marine biota is characterized during the Lower and Middle Karpatian by relatively cool water massses, widespread dysoxic bottom conditions, and extended deposition of calcareous shales ("Schlier") in the basins. In the Upper Karpatian a general shallowing and warm water influx is observed, as exemplified by the rich moluscan fauna. A strong Mediterranean marine influence existed. Palynomorphs, plant remains, and vertebrate fauna indicate a warm temperate to subtropical humid climate and high precipitation.
