Abstract

Litho- and biostratigraphic data are provided of 5 stratigraphic sections in Romania covering the “Badenian” marine flooding that occurred in the Central Paratethys during the middle Miocene (Langhian). The dataset includes stratigraphic logs and descriptions of the profiles, and biostratigraphic analyses on calcareous nannofossils and foraminifera. In addition, characteristic stratigraphic features and representative fossils, including tiny Streptochilus foraminifera in the Campiniţa section in the SE Carpathian Foredeep, are presented in photographs. The data show that the flooding is characterized by the sudden abundance of Langhian calcareous nannofossils and foraminifera with a strong Mediterranean affinity.

We thank Jan Spierings and Zelda Zeegers for their help with the fieldwork, Giovanna Gianelli for processing samples for foraminiferal analysis and Luca Barchi for SEM photographs. We are also very grateful for fruitful discussions with Rocco Gennari about tiny Streptochilus foraminifera. Marius Stoica is acknowledged for fruitful discussions and ostracod taxonomy. This project was financially supported by the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) [VICI grant 865.10.011 ].
