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.

Late miocene magnetobiostratigraphy of Crete

Marine Micropaleontology, 1984
Six Upper Miocene marine clay sections on Crete (Greece) have been subjected to a detailed magnetobiostratigraphic analysis. Six correlatable polarity zones are recognized and these demonstrate the regional synchrony of planktonic foraminiferal biohorizons.

Were late Gomphotheres (Plio-Pleistocene) of the Siwaliks at more Stress as compared to early Gomphotheres (middle to late Miocene)?

Journal of Bioresource Management, 2020
Gomphotheres existed in the Siwaliks from the middle Miocene (14.2Ma) to the middle Pleistocene (0.8Ma) and became extinct later on. In this paper, we tried to discuss the reasons of such extinction of gomphotheres in the lower Pleistocene time span by ...

Insights into the Middle–Late Miocene palaeoceanographic development of Cyprus (eastern Mediterranean) from a new δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C stable isotope composite record [PDF]

Climate of the Past
The Middle to Late Miocene was a time of significant global climate change. In the eastern Mediterranean region, these climatic changes coincided with important tectonic events, which resulted in changes to the organisation of oceanic gateways, altering ...
