Amphipoda from the Late Neogene of Shanxi, China

2021
Amphipods are extremely diverse malacostracan crustaceans that have conquered many environments from oceanic abysses to the terrestrial realm. Despite their impressive modern diversity and abundance, they are particularly rare in the fossil record. Herein, we describe the exceptionally preserved Gammaroidorum yooling sp. nov.

Late Neogene development of the UK Atlantic margin

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2002
AbstractThe late Neogene (Pliocene-Holocene) interval witnessed a significant change in sedimentation style across the UK Atlantic margin that culminated in its present morphological expression. The onset of change is marked by the creation of a regional, angular, erosional unconformity that can be traced from the Hebrides and West Shetland margins ...

Variations in the provenance of the late Neogene Red Clay deposits in northern China

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2016
The voluminous loess-Red Clay deposits in northern China forming part of the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) are valuable terrestrial archives of climatic evolution for the late Cenozoic Era. Fundamental in reconstructing the late Miocene and Pliocene wind patterns and aridification history is a detailed knowledge of the provenance of these deposits.

Palaeoenvironmental Context for the Late Neogene of the Turkana Basin

1990
Abstract One of the primary goals of documenting the geology and palaeontology of the Turkana Basin deposits has been to provide a broad basis upon which a reconstruction of past environments of the region can be made. The basic elements that make up such a reconstruction are palaeogeography, the depositional and post-depositional ...

Glacigenic Sedimentation and Late Neogene Climate Pattern

1997
The East Greenland dip seismic section presented here is 70 km (≈ 40 mi) long and extends back 10 million years. The area is prograding with maximal advancement during low sea levels, roughly 50% to 100% greater than during high stands. Deposition generally has been greatest since 2.2 million years ago.

Palaeobiogeography of late Neogene African and Eurasian Elephantoidea

1996
Abstract INTRODUCTION Our cladistic analysis of late Miocene to Pleistocene proboscideans presented in this volume (Kalb et al., this volume, Chapter 12A) allows us new insights on the temporal and palaeogeographical distribution of late Neogene elephantoids, as summarized in Figs 12B.l and 12B.2 (cf. Kalb 1995).

The Late Neogene to Quaternary Drainage Evolution of the Uplifted Neogene Sedimentary Basins of Almería, Betic Chain

2014
The evolution of an incising drainage network controls regional geomorphic development, but is in turn controlled by four sets of dynamic factors. These are as follows: tectonics, including both regional epeirogenic uplift and more local tectonic deformation; climatic change, affecting variations in flood power and sediment supply; base level; and ...

Response of vegetation to climatic changes of different duration in the late neogene

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1987
The late Neogene climate is characterized both by a general cooling at middle and high latitudes and by short-term temperature oscillations that developed into the ice ages. The effect of these climatic forcings on vegetation is known in only a few cases where the fossil record is sufficiently long, closely sampled and well dated.

Late Neogene and Recent Bathyal Foraminifera of Mediterranean: ABSTRACT

AAPG Bulletin, 1981
Multivariate statistical analyses of recent deep-water benthic foraminifera of the Mediterranean reveal a bathymetric and geographic distribution that can be ascribed to water-mass distribution and bottom topography. Three bathyal zones were detected: upper (500 to 1,300 m), intermediate (1,300 to 2,800 m), and lower (> 2,800 m).

Late Neogene hydrothermalism in the Central Oman Mountains

The Jabal Akhdar Dome of the Central Oman Mountains provides insights into the autochthonous Neoproterozoic to Cretaceous Arabian rocks. A superbly exposed outcrop of the dark carbonate Ediacaran Hajir (or Khufai) Formation displays NW/SE-trending, non-plunging tight folds and SW thrusts.
