Late Miocene megalake regressions in Eurasia. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 AbstractThe largest megalake in the geological record formed in Eurasia during the late Miocene, when the epicontinental Paratethys Sea became tectonically-trapped and disconnected from the global ocean. The megalake was characterized by several episodes of hydrological instability and partial desiccation, but the chronology, magnitude and impacts of ...

Late Miocene transformation of Mediterranean Sea biodiversity. [PDF]
Sci AdvUnderstanding deep-time marine biodiversity change under the combined effects of climate and connectivity changes is fundamental for predicting the impacts of modern climate change in semi-enclosed seas. We quantify the Late Miocene–Early Pliocene [11.63 to 3.6 million years (Ma)] taxonomic diversity of the Mediterranean Sea for calcareous ...

LATE-MIOCENE MOLDAVIAN PETRIFIED FOREST
Acta Palaeontologica Romaniae, 2022 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 ...

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 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.

Enhanced phosphorus weathering contributed to Late Miocene cooling. [PDF]
Nat CommunLate Miocene climate evolution provides an opportunity to assess Earth’s climate sensitivity to carbon cycle perturbation under warmer-than-modern conditions. Despite its relevance for understanding the climate system, the driving mechanisms underlying profound climate and carbon cycle changes – including the enigmatic Late Miocene cooling from 7 to 5 ...

The turnover of continental planktonic diatoms near the middle/late Miocene boundary and their Cenozoic evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 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 ...

Vegetation feedbacks accelerated the late Miocene climate transition. [PDF]
Sci AdvThe late Miocene was an important stage for the formation of modern-like ecological and environmental patterns. Proxy data from the middle to late Miocene reveal that large-scale cooling and drying occurred; however, the reasons for this climate transition remain unclear.
