The analysis of organic-walled phytoplankton, pollen, and spores in sections of the Solenovian Horizon (second half of the lower Oligocene) in the Western Carpathians, Crimea-Caucasus region, and Scythian and Turan plates revealed that facies of a more desalinated basin (lower, Polbian Subhorizon) are characterized by a more impoverished assemblage of dinocysts, prasinophytes, and acritarchs numbering up to 20–30 taxa. Depending on facies properties, they are dominated by representatives of Bati
