Abstract Paleoceanographic reconstructions require both high‐resolution temporal records and high‐density spatial coverage. Scientific drilling provides detailed paleoclimate time‐series, but its spatial distribution limits our ability to capture regional climate dynamics.

AbstractDecapod crustaceans from the Ottnangian (middle Burdigalian, Lower Miocene) of the Western and Central Paratethys remain poorly known. In this study, we review and re-describe mud shrimps (Jaxea kuemeli), ghost shrimps (Gourretiasp.,Calliax michelottii) and brachyuran crabs of the families Leucosiidae, Polybiidae and Portunidae.

Geology and Jurassic paleogeography of the Mt. Primo-Mt. Castel Santa Maria ridge and neighbouring areas (Northern Apennines, Italy) [PDF]
This paper presents the results of a geological mapping project across the Mt. Primo ridge and neighbouring areas (Umbria-Marche Domain – Northern Apennines), where a thick Meso-Cenozoic carbonate succession is exposed.

Detrital zircon typology and U/Pb geochronology for the Miocene Ladrilleros-Juanchaco sedimentary sequence, Equatorial Pacific (Colombia) : new constraints on provenance and paleogeography in northwestern South America [PDF]
Typology and internal texture analyses were performed on detrital zircons obtained from the Miocene sandstones of the Ladrilleros-Juanchaco sedimentary sequence (Colombia, Equatorial Pacific).

Burdigalian coral bioconstructions of Sperone (southern Corsica)
This study reports the facies analysis of a Burdigalian mixed carbonate-siliciclastic coastal system characterized by coral bioconstructions. These deposits, assigned to the Cala di Labra Fm, represent the sedimentation occurred in the Bonifacio Basin during the Sardinia-Corsica block rotation. At Sperone, the Cala di Labra Fm is weel exposed along the

The fishes of Bukwa, Uganda, a lower Miocene (Burdigalian) locality of East Africa
ABSTRACTRenewed research at the early Miocene fossil site of Bukwa in northeastern Uganda has resulted in new fossil finds, including fish, with representatives of two families, Cichlidae and Alestidae. Although the two families were previously briefly reported from Bukwa, we here give a more detailed account of the fishes based on newly collected ...

Miocene tectonics of the Maramures area (Northern Romania): implications for the Mid-Hungarian fault zone [PDF]
The interplay between the emplacement of crustal blocks (e.g. "ALCAPA”, "Tisza”, "Dacia”) and subduction retreat is a key issue for understanding the Miocene tectonic history of the Carpathians.

Structural to stratigraphic framework of “Banghan” field, onshore Niger Delta, southern Nigeria
Banghan field shows growth fault structures with dips ranging from 32° to 71° at the top and it decreases towards the base of the fault. The syn-depositional growth fault throw is 10 m to 91 m. The synthetic growth faults trend NW-SE while antithetic and

Possible environmental effects on the evolution of the Alps-Molasse Basin system [PDF]
We propose three partly unrelated stages in the geodynamic evolution of the Alps and the sedimentary response of the Molasse Basin. The first stage comprises the time interval between ca. 35 and 20 Ma and is characterized by a high ratio between rates of
