    Notes: The biota of the 1.5 Ma period of the Middle Miocene Sarmatian of the Central Paratethys lack stenohaline components. This was the reason to interpret the Sarmatian stage as transitional between the marine Badenian and the lacustrine Pannonian stages. However, our new data indicate that brackish water conditions could not have prevailed. Sarmatian foraminifera, molluscs, serpulids, bryozoans, dasycladacean and corallinacean algae as well as diatoms clearly indicate normal marine conditions for the entire Sarmatian. During the Lower Sarmatian, however, a sea-level lowstand forced the development of many marginal marine environments. During the Late Sarmatian a highly productive carbonate factory of oolite shoals, mass-occurrences of thick-shelled molluscs and larger foraminifera, as well as marine cements clearly point to normal marine to hypersaline conditions. This trend is not restricted to the western margin of the Pannonian Basin System but can be observed in the entire Central and even Eastern Paratethys.

    Notes: Abstract An unusually high divergence was observed in the ribosomal RNA genes of a free-living population of foraminifera belonging to the genusAmmonia. The sequences of a large-subunit (LSU) rDNA expansion segment D1 and flanking regions were obtained from 20 specimens namedAmmonia sp. 1 andAmmonia sp. 2. The sequence divergence between the two species averages 14%. Within each species it ranges from 0.2% to 7.1% inAmmonia sp. 1 and from 0.7% to 2.3% inAmmonia sp. 2. We did not find two specimens having identical sequences. Moreover, in opposition to the generally acaepted view, rDNA sequence variations were also found within a single individual. The variations among several rDNA copies in a single specimen ofAmmonia may reach up to 4.9%. Most of the observed variations result from multiplication of CA or TA serial repeats occurring in two particularly variable regions. For single base changes, C-T transitions are most frequently observed. We discuss the evolution of expansion segments and their use for phylogenetic studies.

J., Piller, W. E., & Berggren, W. A. Subseries/Subepochs approved as a formal rank in the international stratigraphic guide. Episodes, 43(4), (2020): 1041-1044, doi:10.18814/epiiugs/2020/020066.
    Description: The International Subcommission on Stratigraphic Classification, as the constituent body of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) responsible for the International Stratigraphic Guide, has voted to include the subseries/ subepoch as a formal rank in the next edition of the Guide. This acknowledges the recent ratification of formal subseries and their corresponding stages for the Holocene Series/Epoch but allows individual subcommissions within ICS the freedom to decide whether or not to adopt this rank for their particular stratigraphic/time interval.
    Description: We are grateful to the ISSC membership for discussions and to Secretary Jochen Erbacher for organizing the vote; to Mike Walker for sharing an unpublished manuscript with us; to the many colleagues who have expressed their support for formalization of subseries; and to Dennis Kent and an anonymous reviewer for their reviews of the manuscript.
