Geodynamic Implications of the Latest Chattian-Langhian Central-Western Peri-Mediterranean Volcano-Sedimentary Event: A Review [PDF]

The Journal of Geology, 2020
High amounts of Chattian-Langhian orogenic magmatism have generated volcaniclastic deposits that are interbedded within the penecontemporaneous sedimentary marine successions in several central-western peri-Mediterranean chains. These deposits are widespread in at least 41 units of different basins located in different geotectonic provinces: (1) the ...

From Extension to Strike‐Slip Faulting Along the Western Continuation of the North Anatolian Fault in the Northern Aegean Sea: Structural, Geochronological and Geochemical Constraints

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Northern Aegean region preserves a complex deformation pattern shaped by Miocene extension driven by retreat of the Hellenic subduction system, later overprinted by Plio–Pleistocene transtension linked to the westward propagation of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). Although numerous structural, geophysical and geochronological studies have

Circum-Mediterranean Neogene (Miocene and Pliocene) marine-continental chronologic correlations of European mammal units [PDF]

, 1996
This paper is an update of Steininger et al. 1989. It is mainly concerned with the chronologic correlation of the Miocene and Pliocene European Mammal Biozonations, the "European Neogene Mammal Faunal Zones" (MN zones, for discussion see Steininger et al.

CALCAREOUS NANNOFOSSIL BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF LANGHIAN DEPOSITS IN LEFKAS (IONIAN ISLANDS)

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece, 2017
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 ...

Multidisciplinary approach to revisit the state of activity of a deep‐seated gravitational slope deformation in the frame of the Quaternary geomorphological evolution of the Central Apennines (Italy)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Evaluating the state of activity of Deep‐Seated Gravitational Slope Deformation (DSGSD) is a challenge that requires multidisciplinary analytical approaches. This research focuses on the slope‐scale gravitational process, framing the role of the Quaternary morphodynamics of a river valley where multiple DSGSDs coexist, to reconstruct the ...

Calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy, bioevents, and palaeoecological interpretation of the lower-middle Miocene outcrops in west central Sinai (Egypt)

Frontiers in Earth Science
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

A new Miocene deep-sea chiton and early evidence for Teredinidae-sustained wood-fall communities [PDF]

, 2015
Deep-sea wood-falls are important biodiversity hot spots for insights on chemosynthesis-based communities. The study of deep-sea wood-fall-related palaeocommunities from the Neogene of north Italy shed light on interesting associations from the Miocene ...

New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025 (NZGT 2025) is the first comprehensive update and revision of the New Zealand Geological Timescale in a decade. The criteria used to establish age ranges of New Zealand Stages within the NZGT have been reviewed, calibrated, and revised where required against the 2023/04 International Chronostratigraphic Chart and ...

Early to Middle Miocene in the North Sea Basin: proxy-based insights into environment, depositional settings and sea surface temperature evolution [PDF]

Journal of Micropalaeontology
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.

Two new Miocene limpets (Fissurellidae) from southern California, with notes on other fossil occurrences of the family in northwestern North America [PDF]

, 2019
Two new fissurellid limpets (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Fissurellidae), Fissurella? stantoni n. sp. and Scelidotoma aldersoni n. sp., are described from Miocene deposits in southern California. Fissurella? stantoni is described from a single specimen from the
