Response to Comment on “An early Miocene extinction in pelagic sharks” [PDF]
Naylor et al . argue that the existence of multiple denticle types within a single species precludes the use of this metric as a measure of the decline of multiple shark species. We show that species-level shark diversity would have to decrease by >90% to account for the observed >70% denticle extinction ...

Thermal history of the early Miocene Waitemata Basin and adjacent Waipapa Group, North Island, New Zealand [PDF]
Apatite fission track (AFT) and vitrinite reflectance (VR) data for early Miocene outcrops from the Waitemata Basin reveal that the basin sequence was subjected to shallow burial before denudation.

The identification of Oligo-Miocene mammalian palaeocommunities from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Australia and an appraisal of palaeoecological techniques [PDF]
Fourteen of the best sampled Oligo-Miocene local faunas from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, north-western Queensland, Australia are analysed using classification and ordination techniques to identify potential mammalian palaeocommunities and ...

The relative roles of CO2 and palaeogeography in determining Late Miocene climate: results from a terrestrial model-data comparison [PDF]
The Late Miocene (∼11.6–5.3 Ma) palaeorecord provides evidence for a warmer and wetter climate than that of today and there is uncertainty in the palaeo-CO2 record of at least 150 ppmv.

Fluvial palaeoenvironments in the intracratonic Amazonas Basin (Early Miocene-early Middle Miocene, Colombia) [PDF]
Abstract Based on a detailed study of Early Miocene to early Middle Miocene sediments in the Caqueta River area (Amazonas Basin, Colombia), a reconstruction of the palaeoenvironmental and palaeogeographical history is made. Sediment composition, sedimentary sequences and transport directions indicate that the succession was deposited by a low ...

The Cenozoic tectonic deformation and sedimentary processes in the arcuate tectonic belt along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau have been influenced by the remote effect of the subduction of the Pacific Plate as well as controlled by the ...

Coupled productivity and carbon isotope records in the southwest Pacific Ocean during the late Miocene–early Pliocene biogenic bloom [PDF]
Biogenic components of sediment accumulated at high rates beneath frontal zones of the Indian and Pacific oceans during the late Miocene and early Pliocene. The δ13C of bulk and foraminiferal carbonate also decreased during this time interval.

Decapod crustacean from the Qom Formation (Lower Miocene) of the Isfahan area, Central Iran [PDF]
The discovery of a new specimen of Portunus withersi (Glaessner 1933) from the Lower Miocene Qom Formation in the Vartun section, north of Isfahan (Central Iran), contributes to our knowledge of this portunid species, to which most fossil portunids found
