International audiencePaleoenvironmental changes in the upper Middle Miocene Central Parathetys were reconstructed by using qualitative and quantitative palaeontological analyses of foraminifera and ostracods, coupled with trace elemental (Mg/Ca) and stable isotope (delta(18)O and delta(13)C) analyses of their carbonate skeletons and of gastropod sheets. Mean annual air temperatures were estimated using the oxygen isotope composition of contemporaneous rodent teeth. The studied aquatic fossils come from two boreholes in the Zsambek basin (northern central Hungary), while the terrestrial ones are from localities in NE Hungary and E Romania. In the studied Sarmatian successions, three zones could be distinguished, based on palaeontological and geochemical results. At the Badenian/Sarmatian boundary, faunal diversity decreased markedly. In the lower zone a transgressive event culminated in a seawater incursion into the semi-open basin system of the Central Paratheys. Stable bottom-water temperature (similar to 15 degrees C) and variable salinites (20-22\%) are estimated for the Early Sarmatian Sea. The faunal changes (notably a strong reduction in biodiversity) occuring at the boundary between the lower and the middle zone can be explained by a sea-leval highstand with dysoxic conditions. A relative sea-level fall is documented at the end of this middle zone. After a short regressive event, a marine connection between the Paratethys and Mediterranean was established at the beginning of the upper zone. This is indicated by an increased microfaunal diversity and the re-appearance of marine Bademan ostracods and foraminifera, which are completely absent from the older Samatian series. During the upper zone, the temperatures and salmities are estimated to have fluctuated from 15 degrees C to 21 degrees C and from 15 parts per thousand to 43 parts per thousand, respectively
