Mummified Wood of Juniperus (Cupressaceae) from the Late Miocene of Taman Peninsula, South Russia [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Juniperus L. is the second-largest genus of conifers, having the widest distribution of all conifer genera. Its phytogeographic history is, however, obscure due to its very poor fossil record. We described a wood of Juniperus sp.

The Upper Miocene of the Rostov Dome (Eastern Paratethys): Implication of the chronostratigraphy and bivalvia-based biostratigraphy [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2005 The Rostov Dome is located in the south of the Russian Platform. In the Late Miocene this area was embraced by the Eastern Paratethys. The implications of a recently developed Neogene chronostratigraphy to the studied area are discussed.

The Miocene seal Monachopsis pontica: isolated in a shrinking sea and adapting to its changing conditions [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceMore than 170 years have passed since the description of the dwarf Miocene seal Monachopsis pontica. However, its cranial materials were rarely found and described. This paper re-describes M. pontica and discusses its ecological adaptations. M.

A new seal from the Late Miocene of the Eastern Paratethys highlights the past regional diversity of true seals (Phocidae) [PDF]
Swiss Journal of PalaeontologyTrue seals rapidly evolved in many forms in the epicontinental basin of Paratethys during the Miocene. However, most of their nominal taxa so far were proposed based on isolated limb bones, and their taxonomy has long been under discussion.

The river Dniester valley: a long record of late-Cenozoic fluvial evolution within the Eastern Carpathian foreland and East European Platform margin [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe Dniester valley is a spectacular example of a degrading bedrock fluvial system at the contact between the East European platform and the Carpathian orogen. This study is based upon a combined lithofacies–architecture–morphological study.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 The Late Miocene evolution of the Eastern Paratethys Sea was marked by significant palaeogeographical transformations. The knowledge of them should be improved with the information from the peripheral parts of this semi-enclosed marine basin.

Late miocene ostracodes of Serbia: Morphologic and palaeoenvironmental considerations [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2006 About 11.5 million years ago, a tectonic uplift of the Eastern and Western Carpathians separated the Pannonian Basin from the rest of the Paratethys. This orogenesis event caused an unconformity between the Sarmatian brackish sediments and the Pannonian ...
