Global climate forcing on late Miocene establishment of the Pampean aeolian system in South America [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Wind-blown dust from southern South America links the terrestrial, marine, atmospheric, and biological components of Earth’s climate system. The Pampas of central Argentina (~33°–39° S) contain a Miocene to Holocene aeolian record that spans an important

Molecular phylogeny of mega-diverse Carabus attests late Miocene evolution of alpine environments in the Himalayan–Tibetan Orogen [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The timing, sequence, and scale of uplift of the Himalayan–Tibetan Orogen (HTO) are controversially debated. Many geoscientific studies assume paleoelevations close to present-day elevations and the existence of alpine environments across the HTO already

?Amphictis (Carnivora, Ailuridae) from the Belgrade Formation of North Carolina, USA [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Miocene terrestrial mammals are poorly known from the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Fossils of the Order Carnivora from this time and region are especially rare.

The relative roles of CO2 and palaeogeography in determining late Miocene climate: results from a terrestrial model–data comparison [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2012 The late Miocene 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 200 ppm.

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2023 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 ...

Neogene spore-pollen assemblages and paleovegetation succession of Borehole ZKA02 in Beihai, Guangxi
Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2023 The history of vegetation and climate change during the Cenozoic has been reconstructed by systematically analyzing the sporopollen assemblage from Borehole ZKA02 in Beihai, Guangxi. Through the analysis of spore-pollen data, four sporopollen assemblages

The antiquity of the Rhine River: stratigraphic coverage of the dinotheriensande (eppelsheim formation) of the Mainz Basin (Germany). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Mammalian fossils from the Eppelsheim Formation (Dinotheriensande) have been a benchmark for Neogene vertebrate palaeontology since 200 years.
