The earliest hylobatid from the Late Miocene of China
Journal of Human Evolution, 2022Yuanmoupithecus xiaoyuan, a small catarrhine from the Late Miocene of Yunnan in southern China, was initially suggested to be related to Miocene proconsuloids or dendropithecoids from East Africa, but subsequent reports indicated that it might be more closely related to hylobatids.

Phylogenetic analysis of Middle-Late Miocene apes
Journal of Human Evolution, 2022Despite intensive study, many aspects of the evolutionary history of great apes and humans (Hominidae) are not well understood. In particular, the phylogenetic relationships of many fossil taxa remain poorly resolved. This study aims to provide an updated hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships for Middle-Late Miocene fossil apes, focusing on those ...

On late miocene abyssal hydrography
Marine Micropaleontology, 1981Abstract This contribution is a summary of our studies on late Miocene isotope stratigraphy. We interpret the results using simple models and present additional evidence that the δ 13 C shift at 6.2 Ma was a time-stratigraphic event. The average deep-water metabolic CO 2 and nutrient content remained unchanged across the δ 13 C shift, but the net ...

A Lakeland Area in the Late Miocene
2011Fossil plants recovered from the Late Miocene (Messinian) Hreðavatn-Stafholt Formation grew in a landscape dominated by lakes of different sizes that were connected by small rivers and swampland. Well-drained areas bordering these wetlands were covered by mixed broadleaved deciduous and conifer forests dominated by Pinaceae, Rosaceae, and Acer.

Postcranial evidence of late Miocene hominin bipedalism in Chad
Nature, 2022Bipedal locomotion is one of the key adaptations that define the hominin clade. Evidence of bipedalism is known from postcranial remains of late Miocene hominins as early as 6 million years ago (Ma) in eastern Africa1-4. Bipedality of Sahelanthropus tchadensis was hitherto inferred about 7 Ma in central Africa (Chad) based on cranial evidence5-7.

Late Miocene Pockmarks in the Danish Central Graben - Origin and Significance
68th EAGE Conference and Exhibition incorporating SPE EUROPEC 2006, 2006Late Miocene pockmarks have been identified and mapped in 3D seismic surveys covering large parts of the Danish Central Graben. The upper Miocene succession comprises a thick westward progradational wedge of clay, silt and sand grade siliciclastic sediments. The majority of the pockmarks are located in the clay prone toesets.

Late Miocene drying of central Australia
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2019Abstract A back to the future approach to climate change refines Neogene records of paleoclimatic cooling and drying as future climate states for a warming world. Near Alcoota station in central Australia is a late Miocene fossil mammal site for Alcoota (10 Ma) and Ongeva (8 Ma) local faunas.

The Biotic Environments of the Late Miocene Hominoids
2013The habitat of the Middle and Late Miocene hominoids from western Europe, like Dryopithecus, was characterized by the prevalence of subtropical conditions. As a consequence, those environments were mainly dominated by fruit eaters and browsers, including a large variety of suids, cervids, rhinos, chalicotheres, and proboscideans.
