Orogenward Migration of the Flexural Forebulge: A Response to Increased (Sub)surface Loading in the Orogenic Core?

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 439-451, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The flexural profile of a foreland basin is controlled by lower plate strength and the magnitude of (sub)surface loads. Assuming that lower plate strength remains largely constant during flexure, changes in the flexural profile hint at reorganisations of (sub)surface loading.

THE RECORD OF THE TYPOTHERE PACHYRUKHOS (MAMMALIA, NOTOUNGULATA) AND THE CHINCHILLID PROLAGOSTOMUS (MAMMALIA, RODENTIA) IN THE SANTA CRUZ FORMATION (EARLY–MIDDLE MIOCENE) SOUTH TO THE RÍO COYLE, PATAGONIA, ARGENTINA

open access: yesPublicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2021
The continental early–middle Miocene Santa Cruz Formation (SCF) from Patagonia is one of the most important stratigraphic units of southern South America in terms of the terrestrial Neogene record.

Stratigraphy of diagenesis: Limestone–dolomite cycles in a mid‐ramp setting, Miocene Arcadia Formation, South Florida, USA

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1433-1450, November 2025.
The data and interpretations of this study are used to test the proposal by Goldhammer et al. that a ‘stratigraphy of early diagenesis’ is operational in carbonate depositional systems. What this means is that distinct mineralogical and geochemical changes to rock and sediment occur associated with external controls, such as the rise and fall of sea ...

Two new Miocene limpets (Fissurellidae) from southern California, with notes on other fossil occurrences of the family in northwestern North America [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Two new fissurellid limpets (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Fissurellidae), Fissurella? stantoni n. sp. and Scelidotoma aldersoni n. sp., are described from Miocene deposits in southern California. Fissurella? stantoni is described from a single specimen from the

Middle Miocene Tonnoidea and Ficoidea (Caenogastropoda) assemblages from Letkés (Hungary) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Taxonomic composition of highly diverse early Badenian (early Langhian) Tonnoidea and Ficoidea assemblages from Letkés (Börzsöny Mts, Hungary) is given. Four Ficusspecies and 23 tonnoid species are described, including Semicassis szilviae n.

Preparation and Identification of Heavy Minerals for Archaeometrical Studies: Villa of Fiumana (FC), Italy

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 56, Issue 11, Page 1302-1314, November 2025.
This paper presents a new protocol for the laboratory preparation of archaeological samples. Ceramics that have been hand‐crafted using different sediments as raw materials were collected in a Roman Villa sited in Fiumana (FC), Italy. This method aims at concentrating and analysing heavy minerals in the 15–250 μm grain size fraction, studying the ...

An Early Miocene bumble bee from northern Bohemia (Hymenoptera, Apidae)

open access: yesZooKeys, 2017
A new species of fossil bumble bee (Apinae: Bombini) is described and figured from Early Miocene (Burdigalian) deposits of the Most Basin at the Bílina Mine, Czech Republic. Bombus trophonius sp. n., is placed within the subgenus Cullumanobombus Vogt and

Volcaniclastites as a key for geodynamic constraints in the evolution of the central-western Mediterranean region: an overview [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In the central-western peri-Mediterranean chains, a consistent latest Chattian-Langhian orogenic calc-alkaline magmatism generated a high amount of volcaniclastites interbedded within penecontemporaneous marine successions.

Oligocene—Miocene Tectono‐Stratigraphic Development of the Southern Levant Basin, Eastern Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 37, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Synthesis of Late Burdigalian tectono‐stratigraphic events occurring in and around the southern Levant Basin. Highlighted are the active NW‐Se‐striking normal faults nucleating onshore Sinai and across the southern Levant Basin. The offshore strike‐slip fault networks are also highlighted and are believed to be related to the same event which nucleated

Two distinct decadal and centennial cyclicities forced marine upwelling intensity and precipitation during the late Early Miocene in central Europe [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2015
Within a 5.5 m thick succession of Upper Burdigalian (Karpatian) sediments in the North Alpine Foreland Basin (NAFB; Austria), dated to CNP-zone NN4, a high-resolution section was logged continuously.
