Antarctic ice sheet and oceanographic response to eccentricity forcing during the early Miocene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Stable isotope records of benthic foraminifera from ODP Site 1264 in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean are presented which resolve the latest Oligocene to early Miocene (~24–19 Ma) climate changes at high temporal resolution (<3 kyr).

Grassland fire ecology has roots in the late Miocene [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
That fire facilitated the late Miocene C 4 grassland expansion is widely suspected but poorly documented. Fire potentially tied global climate to this profound biosphere transition by serving as a regional-to-local driver of vegetation change.

Stratigraphy and development of the Late Miocene-Early Pleistocene Hawke’s Bay forearc basin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
A Late Miocene-Early Pleistocene mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sedimentary succession about 2 500 m thick in the Hawke’s Bay forearc basin is the focus of a basin analysis. The area under investigation covers 3 500 km2 of western and central Hawke’s Bay.

The Late Miocene Radiation of Modern Felidae: A Genetic Assessment [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2006
Modern felid species descend from relatively recent (<11 million years ago) divergence and speciation events that produced successful predatory carnivores worldwide but that have confounded taxonomic classifications. A highly resolved molecular phylogeny with divergence dates for all living cat species, derived from autosomal, X-linked, Y-linked ...
