A critical revision of the fossil record, stratigraphy and diversity of the Neogene seal genus Monotherium (Carnivora, Phocidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Historically, Monotherium had been one of the few genera of extinct Phocidae (true seals) that served as a wastebin taxon. Consequently, it did neither aid in understanding phylogenetic relationships of extinct Phocidae, nor in understanding seal ...

The Tubotomaculum Enigma and the Rise of Benthic Life During the Opening of the Western Mediterranean Basin. [PDF]
GeobiologyABSTRACT Large‐scale geological processes shape microbial habitats and drive the evolution of life on Earth. During the Oligocene, convergence between Africa and Europe led to the opening of the Western Mediterranean Basin, a deep‐ocean system characterized by fluid venting, oxygen depletion, and the absence of benthic fauna.

Sri Lanka’s Aruwakkalu fossil deposit dates to the Burdigalian Age
Ceylon Journal of Science (Biological Sciences), 2012 Aruwakkalu fossil bed is a part of Sri Lanka’s Jaffna limestone, which underlies the whole of Jaffna Peninsula and extends southwards mostly along the west coast. Previous authors have suggested that Aruwakkalu contains a rich assemblage of vertebrate and invertebrate fossils.

Acta Palaeontologica Romaniae, 2021 This work presents the calcareous nannofossils identified in samples recovered from 7 boreholes drilled on the western side of the Olt River, in the Totea, Colibasi, Radinesti and Valeni areas, within the central-southern part of the Getic Depression. These boreholes crossed upper Burdigalian–middle Sarmatian sediments.
