First results of the biostratigraphy and geochronology of the classic Nihewan Fauna, China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Nihewan Basin is infilled by a relatively complete Pliocene to Pleistocene sequence, rich mammalian fossils and containing many Palaeolithic artefacts, implying that it is a unique location for Quaternary multidisciplinary study.

Sedimentary evolution revealed by aeolian and lacustrine depositions in the southern margin of the Weihe Basin during the Early Pleistocene

地质科技通报, 2023
The Quaternary climate is characterized by a notable cooling and significant glacial-interglacial fluctuations driven by the influence of orbital-induced insolation and bipolar ice-volume variability.

Evidence for parallel development of ever-growing molars in Early Pleistocene rodents from southern Spain and their paleoenvironmental implications

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023
In this paper, we present a detailed survey on the rodent fauna from the site of Barranco de los Conejos (Guadix-Baza Basin, southern Spain). Its rodent fauna is composed of three arvicolines (Orcemys giberti, Manchenomys oswaldoreigi, and Tibericola ...

Early Pleistocene age of fluvial sediment in the Stará Garda Cave revealed by 26Al/10Be burial dating: implications for geomorphic evolution of the Malé Karpaty Mts. (Western Carpathians)

Acta Carsologica, 2017
Assessment of vertical movements of tectonically bounded blocks is crucial for determination of geohazards in densely inhabited zones, such as the border zone of western Slovakia and eastern Austria. The morphostructure of the Malé Karpaty Mts.

A Giant Ostrich from the Lower Pleistocene Nihewan Formation of North China, with a Review of the Fossil Ostriches of China

Diversity, 2021
A large incomplete ostrich femur from the Lower Pleistocene of North China, kept at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris), is described. It was found by Father Emile Licent in 1925 in the Nihewan Formation (dated at about 1.8 Ma) of Hebei ...

Lacustrine mollusc radiations in the Lake Malawi Basin : experiments in a natural laboratory for evolution [PDF]

, 2012
In terminal Pliocene-early Pleistocene times, part of the Malawi Basin was occupied by paleo-lake Chiwondo. Molluscan biostratigraphy situates this freshwater lake either in the East African wet phase between 2.7-2.4 Ma or that of 2.0-1.8 Ma.

Vegetation context and climatic limits of the Early Pleistocene hominin dispersal in Europe [PDF]

, 2010
The vegetation and the climatic context in which the first hominins entered and dispersed in Europe during the Early Pleistocene are reconstructed, using literature review and a new climatic simulation. Both in situ fauna and in situ pollen at the twelve
