Late Miocene Pockmarks in the Danish Central Graben - Origin and Significance

68th EAGE Conference and Exhibition incorporating SPE EUROPEC 2006, 2006
Late 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, 2019
Abstract 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.

Late Miocene vegetation of the Pannonian Basin

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2017
Abstract 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.

The Biotic Environments of the Late Miocene Hominoids

2013
The 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.

ASTROCHRONOLOGY OF LATE MIDDLE MIOCENE MEDITERRANEAN SECTIONS

2004
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. Direct correlation between the

Late Miocene “washhouse” climate in Europe

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2008
Abstract 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, 1996
Miocene 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, 2012
A 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.

First hominoid from the Late Miocene of Niger

2008
Since 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

2016
I 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 ...
