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 Adv
Understanding 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 ...

A singular Hegetotheriinae (Notoungulata, Typotheria) from the late Oligocene-Early Miocene of the Subandean Region of Bolivia

Brazilian Journal of Geology, 2021
Geological studies in the northern sector of the Chaco foreland Basin, Bolivia, yielded new fossils coming from late Oligocene-late Miocene of the Petaca Formation. Few fossil mammals were known from the Subandean Region of Bolivia. We report a partially

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 ...

Late Miocene hominoid from Niger

Comptes Rendus Palevol, 2009
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.

Enhanced phosphorus weathering contributed to Late Miocene cooling. [PDF]

Nat Commun
Late 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 ...

Palynological evidence for late Miocene stepwise aridification on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2016
Holding a climatically and geologically key position both regionally and globally, the northeastern Tibetan Plateau provides a natural laboratory for illustrating the interactions between tectonic activity and the evolution of the Asian interior ...
