Dental Microwear and Diets of Late Miocene Primates From Rudabánya, Hungary

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 188, Issue 1, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study focuses on a dental microwear texture analysis of European pliopithecids and dryopithecins from the Miocene primate site of Rudabánya, Hungary. The goal is to determine whether these taxa, found in part together in the same deposits, differed in their food preferences, or at least consumed, on a daily basis, in a manner ...

Crocodylian remains from the Miocene of the Fore-Carpathian Basin and its foreland—including the world’s northernmost Neogene crocodylian

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
The geographic distribution of Crocodylia in Europe throughout the Cenozoic experienced fluctuations in the extension of its northern limit. Whereas crocodylians reached very high latitudes during the early Eocene (78ºN), their northward extension was ...

Changes of Poleward Oceanic Heat and Salt Transport Associated With the Central Eurasian Seaway During the Early Paleogene

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 13, 16 July 2025.
Abstract During the early Paleogene, the Arctic Ocean existed in a warm yet restricted freshwater regime, with episodic strong freshening leading to proliferation of the freshwater‐adapted Azolla at basal middle Eocene times (49–48 Ma). The Kara Strait, located between the Arctic Ocean and the West Siberian Sea (WSS), facilitated an open central ...

New reports of crab Styrioplax exiguus Glaessner, 1928 (Decapoda, Brachyura) from Miocene beds near Maribor, Slovenia

Geologija, 2015
In this paper we report new specimens of an interesting Paratethyan decapod Styrioplax exiguus Glaessner, 1928, which extend the known palaeogeographic and stratigraphic distribution of the species.

A Model Based Study of the Emergence of North Atlantic Deep Water During the Cenozoic: A Tale of Geological and Climatic Forcings

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract The North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) is a key component of modern climate systems, redistributing heat from equatorial to polar regions and contributing to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. However, the timing of its emergence and the mechanisms driving its formation remain uncertain.

Decapod Crustacea of the Central Paratethyan Ottnangian Stage (middle Burdigalian): implications for systematics and biogeography

Geologica Carpathica, 2015
Decapod 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 (Gourretia sp., Calliax michelottii)
