Sarmatian palynoflora from Jamnica near Tarnobrzeg (Carpathian Foredeep) - environmental and climatic implications

Abstract

The palynological profile of Middle Miocene marine deposits from the Jamnica S-119 borehole is described, and the Miocene plant communities, growing on the shores of the Paratethys sea and on the adjacent uplands, are reconstructed. The age of deposits is probably Early Sarmatian, though there are close similarities between Early Sarmatian and Late Badenian pollen spectra.
