Late Miocene vegetation of the Pannonian Basin
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2017Abstract The Pannonian Basin system provides sufficient data to study local and regional vegetation in the context of palaeoclimate and palaeogeography. The present study attempts to make use of the latest results in stratigraphy and track vegetation change throughout the Late Miocene. Vegetation layers are reconstructed for five time slices, from 10.

Astrochronology of Late Middle Miocene Mediterranean Sections
2004Abstract High-resolution cyclostratigraphy and calcareous plankton astrobiochronology have been obtained from the latest Langhian to the earliest Tortonian of the Mediterranean. The investigated areas (Malta, Tremiti, and Sicily) are located in different geological settings, and the three studied sections show different cyclicity ...

Late Miocene “washhouse” climate in Europe
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2008Abstract We present two eight-million year long proxy records of precipitation for Southwest and Central Europe, covering the middle to late Miocene (5.3–13 Ma) at a temporal resolution of about 60 kyr and 150 kyr, respectively. The estimates of precipitation are based on the ecophysiological structure of herpetological assemblages (amphibians and ...

The late Miocene Panama isthmian strait
Geology, 1996Miocene sediments of the Caribbean Gatun and Chagres formations, Panama Canal basin, were deposited within an archipelagic strait that connected Caribbean and Pacific waters. Shallow-water (∼ 25 m) benthic foraminifera of the Gatun Formation have a strong Caribbean affinity, indicating that a significant interoceanic, biogeographic barrier had formed ...

Miocene to Late Pleistocene proboscideans of Croatia
Quaternary International, 2012A total of 96 sites of Neogene and Pleistocene proboscidean taxa on the territory of Croatia are listed and mapped. The studied material is mainly stored at the Institute for Quaternary Paleontology and Geology of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb, and the Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb.

Late Miocene Tidal Deposits in the Amazonian Foreland Basin
Science, 1995Late Miocene tidal sediments of Acre, Brazilian Amazonia, were deposited in an embayment or interior seaway located in the sub-Andean zone. This late Tertiary embayment system may once have connected the Caribbean with the South Atlantic. The tidal coasts of the embayment-seaway have provided an avenue for the earliest waif (over water) dispersal ...

First hominoid from the Late Miocene of Niger
2008Since the discovery of Orrorin tugenensis in the Late Miocene Lukeino Formation, Tugen Hills, Kenya, it is generally admitted that the origin of bipedal hominids occurred earlier than 6 Myr ago and that the adaptation to bipedal stance and locomotion initially occurred in a forested or well-wooded setting.

Apes, hominins and environment in the late Miocene
2016I am attempting several things in this chapter. In the first place we must consider the environments associated with the fossil apes described in the previous chapter, although for some of them there is little information. I am then going to go straight on to investigate both the morphology and the environment of a group of hominids that have been ...

Late Miocene Sediments of Dilj Mt
2005Gornjomiocenski sedimenti prekrivaju najveći dio površine Dilj gore i u dosadašnjim su istraživanjima pripisivani panonu (Croatica slojevi, Banatica slojevi ) i pontu (Abihi slojevi, Romboidea slojevi). U okviru izrade Osnovne geološke karte Republike Hrvatske 1:50.000, u do sada istraženom središnjem i zapadnom dijelu planine unutar gornjomiocenskih ...
