Abstract

The calcareous nannofossils from the Middle Miocene (Badenian) formations from Pâglişa (Cluj district) are typical for the Lower and Middle Badenian, respectivelly Moravian and Wielician (or Langhian). The detailed study of the calcareous nannofossils from the Pâglişa section revealed the presence of the nannoplankton assemblages belonging to the NN5 and NN6 zones. They have been remarked 40 species of calcareous nannofossils. There are mentioned especially the most representative species and their biostratigraphical significance.
