Abstract

Sixty-three otolith-based species were recorded in the Kienberg section, ten of which are new for Central Paratethys (first fossil record of extant species Scorpaena notata and Spondyliosoma cantharus). The section provides the richest and most diverse otolith association of that age for the Vienna Basin. Actualistic analyses indicates open marine, open infralitoral sedimentary conditions varying between 30 and 80 m depth with sandy-muddy/sandy bottom and possibly seagrass beds, in subtropical climate with gradual upwards cooling. A higher diversity of gadoids in contrast with the lowest Badenian of the Central Paratethys documented the decline of the so called climatic optimum in the Miocene of Middle Europe. The dominance of Atlantic and Atlantic-Mediterranean taxa indicates an open communication with theses domains and confirm the idea of the still functioning transdinaride corridor.

Abstract (in Czech)

Nejdiverzifikovanější společenstvo otolitů ve středním badenu vídeňské pánve bylo doloženo v profilu na Kienbergu (z 63 taxonů fosilních ryb bylo zjištěno 10 nově pro Centrální Paratethys a dva recentní druhy poprvé ve fosilním stavu). Aktualistická analýza indikuje sedimentaci v hloubkách 30-80 m v subtropickém klimatu a za postupnho ochlazování směrem do nadloží. Vysoká diverzita gadoidů signalizuje závěr klimatického optima ve Sřední Evropě. Dominance atlantských a atlantsko-mediterránních prvků ukazuje na stále ještě otevřený slovinský spojovací koridor mezi Mediterránem a C. Paratethydou.
