Foraminifers oc cur ring in marls un der ly ing the Mid dle Mio cene Badenian gyp sum in the north ern Pol ish Carpathian Foredeep in one bore hole sec tion [M³yny (Busko) PIG 1] and in two dewatering pits in op er at ing quar ries (Leszcze and Borków) con tain well-pre served foraminifers. Sixty-seven spe cies of ben thic and twenty-one spe cies of plank tonic foraminifers are re corded in the 12-m-thick sec tion of the M³yny bore hole. Ben thic as sem blages are char ac ter ized by the dom i nance of Bulimina and Uvigerina while plank tonic as sem blages are com posed mainly by warm-wa ter orbulinids and Globigerinoides spp. in the lower part of the M³yny sec tion and by tem per ate-cold wa ter Globigerina spp. in the up per part of the M³yny sec tion as well as the Leszcze and Borków sec tions. The tax o nomic com po si tion of foraminiferal as sem blages makes it pos si ble to dis tin guish two foraminiferal zones in the M³yny bore hole: the Orbulina suturalis and Uvigerina costai zones, and only the lat ter zone is ac ces si ble at Leszcze and Borków. The ben thic foraminiferal suc ces sions in the stud ied inter val sug gest ox y gen a tion and pro duc tiv ity changes in the Carpathian Foredeep Ba sin prior to the Badenian sa lin ity cri sis. Four in ter vals of low ered ox y gen a tion and/or el e vated or ganic flux to the sea-floor are rec og nized; the in ter vals in which foraminiferal as sem blages sug gest ma rine en vi ron ments with low ered ox y gen a tion in bot tom wa ters al ter nate be tween the in ter vals where stress mark ers form less than 50% of the ben thic foraminiferal as sem blages. Ben thic as sem blages are moder ately to highly di ver si fied, and spe cies have more equal fre quen cies. The upsection de crease in the pro por tion of planktonic foraminifers re flects the shallowing of the ba sin ac com pa nied by a de crease in the tem per a ture gra di ent be tween the up per (warmer) and deeper (colder) wa ter beds. The av er age palaeotemperature of wa ter based on d18 O of Uvigerina and Globigerina de creased by ca. 2 and ca. 6°C, re spec tively (from 9.9 and 17.4°C in the Orbulina suturalis Zone to 7.9 and 11.5°C in the Uvigerina costai Zone, re spec tively). Be low the gyp sum, the d 18 O val ues of both ben thic and plank tonic foraminifers show quite large vari a tions pos si bly due to the sa lin ity in crease. Co eval dom i na tion of ben thic foraminiferal assem blages by Bulimina sug gests in creased sur face wa ter pro duc tiv ity and an in creased or ganic flux to the sea-floor prior to the on set of evaporite de po si tion and/or sa lin ity in crease.

This study in di cates the oc cur rence of over 54 spe cies of ben thic foraminifers and 10 spe cies of planktonics. Ben thic foraminifera are rep re sented mainly by cal car e ous forms; ag glu ti nated tests are very rare. Plank tonic foraminifera ap pear in the up per part of the suc ces sion stud ied. Five ben thic foraminiferal assem blages are rec og nized: A (Elphi dium/Lobatula/Astrononion) B (Hauerinidae), C (Cibicidoides/Lobatula), D (Porosononion) and E (Uvigerina/Bulimina). The foraminiferal re cord in di cates de po si tion in a shal low subtidal en vi ron ment (20 m depth) of nor mal ma rine sa lin ity and tem per ate wa ters fol lowed by grad ual deep en ing of the ba sin to >50 m. Anal y sis of foraminiferal as sem blages in di cates that bot tom wa ters were highly ox y gen ated dur ing de po si tion of the lower and mid dle parts of the Anadoly se quence. Dur ing de po si tion of the up per part of the se quence the ox y gen a tion of bot tom wa ter grad ually de creased, as ex pressed by a large de crease in the pro por tion of oxic spe cies and an in crease in dysoxic ones. The same set of sam ples yielded low amounts of palynological or ganic mat ter rep re sented by dom i nant black opaque phytoclasts; bisaccate pol len grains and dinoflagellate cysts are rare. Tax o nom i cally im pov er ished as sem blages of the lat ter con sist of dom i nant Polysphaeridium and Cleistosphaeridium placacanthum as so ci ated with Lingulodinium machaerophorum and a few other taxa. The tax o nom i cally rich est as sem blage was found in the top most sam ple. These changes were in ter preted as in dic a tive for in creased sa lin ity in the sur face wa ter layer, with its max i mum in the mid dle part of the sec tion; the as sem blage from the top most part is char ac ter is tic for nor mal ma rine sa lin ity.
