Note on paramoudra-like carbonate concretions in the Urenui Formation, North Taranaki: possible plumbing system for a Late Miocene methane seep field [PDF]

, 2004
A reconnaissance study of calcitic and dolomitic tubular concretions in upper slope mudstone of the Late Miocene Urenui Formation exposed along the north Taranaki coastline indicates that they have a complex diagenetic history involving different phases ...

Late Cenozoic Cooling History of the Xigaze Fore-Arc Basin along the Yarlung–Zangbo Suture Zone (Southern Tibet): New Insights from Low-Temperature Thermochronology [PDF]

Lithosphere
The Tibetan Plateau is currently the widest and highest elevation orogenic plateau on Earth. It formed as a response to the Cenozoic and is still ongoing collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates.

Late Miocene Hinterland Crustal Shortening in the Longmen Shan Thrust Belt, the Eastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2019
Long‐term (million year time scale) fault‐slip history is crucial for understanding the processes and mechanisms of mountain building in active orogens. Such information remains elusive in the Longmen Shan, the eastern Tibetan Plateau margin affected 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 ...
