Assessing Volcanic Controls on Miocene Climate Change
Abstract The Miocene period saw substantially warmer Earth surface temperatures than today, particularly during a period of global warming called the Mid Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO; ∼17–15 Ma). However, the long‐term drivers of Miocene climate remain poorly understood.

Abstract The identification and distinction of fluvial from lacustrine deposits and the recognition of catchment changes are crucial for the reconstruction of climate changes in terrestrial environments. The investigated drill core succession shows a general evolution from red–brown claystones to white–grey marlstones and microcrystalline limestones ...

Evidence for Badenian local sea level changes in the proximal area of the North Croatian Basin
Quantitative analysis of palynomorphs, foraminifera and ostracods enabled the recognition of biotic events and the reconstruction of environmental change in the Badenian sediments from the Vrhovčak section of Mt. Samoborsko gorje (NW Croatia). During the

Summary Ursu Lake is located in the Middle Miocene salt deposit of Central Romania. It is stratified, and the water column has three distinct water masses: an upper freshwater‐to‐moderately saline stratum (0–3 m), an intermediate stratum exhibiting a steep halocline (3–3.5 m), and a lower hypersaline stratum (4 m and below) that is euxinic (i.e. anoxic

Stratigraphic implications of the Middle Miocene of the Despotovac area: Recognition of two geological formations [PDF]
The Middle Miocene of the Despotovac area contains sediments of the lower Middle Miocene (Badenian) and upper Middle Miocene (Sarmatian). The Middle Miocene deposition shows different local variations, but generally fits the evolution of the Central ...

Badenian mollusks from Rachitova (Hateg Depression, Romania)
1 ABSTRACT. The paper presents in systematic order the mollusk assemblage collected from one outcrop on Lacului Brook (left tributary to Rachitova Valley). There were identified 33 taxa (22 gastropods, 9 bivalves and 2 scaphopods) and the whole assemblage is characteristic to the Badenian deposits in the studied area.

Carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of the Middle Miocene Badenian gypsum-associated limestones of West Ukraine [PDF]
The middle Miocene Badenian basin of the Carpathian Foredeep is characterized by complex sedimentary and diagenetic carbonate-evaporite transitions. Six locations have been selected to evaluate the controls on the carbon and oxygen isotopic composition ...

Statistical analysis of Neogene sediment thickness deposited during the first transtensional and first transpressional evolutionary stages in the Bjelovar Sub-basin, Northern Croatia [PDF]
The Bjelovar Sub-basin is situated in Northern Croatia and constitutes the southwestern branch of the Drava Basin. The Neogene-Quaternary sedimentary section can be subdivided into three megacycles, which are separated by regional unconformities.
