In the Upper Burdigalian-Lower Langhian sediments of the Venetian molassic basin two volcaniclastic layers are clearly recognizable, respectively within the Globigerinoides trilobus and Praeorbulina glomerosa zones of Bizon & Bizon (1972). The chemical

The Upper Miocene of the Rostov Dome (Eastern Paratethys): Implication of the chronostratigraphy and bivalvia-based biostratigraphy [PDF]
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.

CALCAREOUS NANNOFOSSIL BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF LANGHIAN DEPOSITS IN LEFKAS (IONIAN ISLANDS)
Spanochorion composite section (NE Lefkas) and Aghios Vassilios section (W Lefkas) have been studied semiquantitatively for their calcareous nannofossil content. The calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy, performed at the Paxos unit atypical flysch sediments of Aghios Vassilios section, permits their biostratigraphic correlation with the uppermost ...

A Cenozoic Shift From Extensional to Strike‐Slip Tectonics in the Central Mediterranean Sea
Abstract High‐resolution 3D seismic reflection data, structural interpretations and expansion index analyses are combined in this work to explain the mechanisms that drove a newly discovered shift from extensional to strike‐slip tectonics in the central Mediterranean region. In the Crotone Basin, Early Pliocene extension predominated at first as proven

The Burdigalian/Langhian (B/L) boundary has not yet been designated as a Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP), despite various proposed zonal schemes. In the Gulf of Suez region of Egypt, the Burdigalian-Langhian successions are notable for hosting

Early to Middle Miocene in the North Sea Basin: proxy-based insights into environment, depositional settings and sea surface temperature evolution [PDF]
Two Miocene successions from onshore Denmark (Sønder Vium, or Sdr. Vium, well) and offshore Norway (2/11-12S well) have been correlated using dinoflagellate cyst (dinocyst) biostratigraphy.

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 ...

REMARKS ON THE AGE OF THE LIMESTONES OF SOUTHEASTERN JAVA (INDONESIA)
The present paper deals with the age assignment of the limestones (Wonosari Formation) cropping out in the East Southern Mountains of South East Java (Indonesia), based on the foraminiferal assemblages observed in several limestone samples from that area.

MioVeg1: A Global Middle Miocene Vegetation Reconstruction for Climate Modeling
Abstract Climate models require boundary condition information, such as vegetation and soil distributions because they influence the mean state climate, and feedbacks can significantly influence regional climate and climate sensitivity to CO2 forcing.

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
