Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

LATE-MIOCENE MOLDAVIAN PETRIFIED FOREST
A collection of petrified wood, hosted by the Natural Sciences Section of the Museum “Vasile Pârvan” from Bârlad, was submitted to a palaeoxylotomical study. The samples come from the central part of Moldova, Northward of Bârlad, and were collected from Simila gravel-quarry, from fluvial-deltaic sediments of Maeotian age, most probably representing ...

Late Miocene Carnivora from Chad: Lutrinae (Mustelidae) [PDF]
We describe extensive Late Miocene fossil Lutrinae from Toros-Menalla, Chad. A minimum of four species are present in this fossiliferous area. Such a large number of species, diverse in size and dental morphology, is significant and unique in the fossil record of the subfamily Lutrinae in the Neogene of Africa. Two new taxa are described, Sivaonyx beyi

Late Miocene hominoid from Niger
Abstract African Late Miocene hominoids are rare, having been reported from six localities in Kenya, Ethiopia and Chad ranging in age from 10.5 to 5.5 Ma. We here report the occurrence of a hominoid in Niger associated with a vertebrate fauna which indicates an age of between 11–5 Ma.

The turnover of continental planktonic diatoms near the middle/late Miocene boundary and their Cenozoic evolution. [PDF]
Fossil evidence indicates that modern assemblages of temperate nonmarine planktonic diatoms began near the middle/late Miocene boundary when the genus Actinocyclus, an important constituent of lacustrine planktonic diatom assemblages during the early to ...
