Late Neogene to Quaternary contractional structures in Crete (Greece)

Tectonophysics, 2010
Abstract Based on geological and tectonic investigations carried out along an N–S coast-to-coast transect across central Crete, southern Aegean (Greece), new meso- and macro-structural data mainly collected from Neogene–Quaternary deposits are presented and discussed.

Late neogene history of the Pacific-Caribbean gateway

Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 1989
Abstract Planktic foraminiferal provinces of Caribbean DSDP Hole 502A and East Pacific DSDP Hole 503A have been analyzed and compared with benthic and planktic isotope records, carbonate, hiatus events, and sea level changes. Four major events are evident in the closure history of the Pacific-Caribbean gateway, at 6.2, 4.2, 2.4 and 1.8 Ma. The faunal

Late Neogene oroclinal bending in the central Taurides: A record of terminal eastward subduction in southern Turkey?

, 2016
The Tauride fold-thrusts belt formed during ∼S–N convergence between Africa and Eurasia since Cretaceous time. The western end of the central Taurides strike NW–SE, highly obliquely to the overall convergence direction, and connect to the NE–SW ...

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.

Late Neogene marine Ostracoda from Tjörnes, Iceland

Journal of Paleontology, 1991
On the western side of the Tjörnes Peninsula in northern Iceland exposures of fossiliferous marine sediments, basalts, and glacial tills record the climatic history of this region of the North Atlantic Ocean. Seventy-five marine ostracode species were recovered from the Pliocene Tjörnes sediments and Quaternary sediments known as the Breidavik beds ...

The hippo's tale: how the anatomy and physiology of Late Neogene Hexaprotodon shed light on Late Neogene environmental change

Quaternary International, 2004
Abstract Modern hippopotamuses are strongly dependent on permanent water because of the structure and properties of their skin, and because they forage on vegetation located close to watercourses. In the fossil record of Asia, the disappearance of hippopotamids (best represented by Hexaprotodon sivalensis) during the late Neogene and Pleistocene was ...

Evolutionary trends of tropical calcareous nannofossils in the late Neogene

Marine Micropaleontology, 1998
Abstract Examination of Middle–Late Miocene sediments recovered during ODP Leg 154 in western equatorial Atlantic has led to identification of evolutionary transitions in some groups of late Neogene calcareous nannofossils. Through analyses of high resolution samples (10-cm sample interval equivalent to average interval of 6 kyr) we were able to ...

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 climate changes and the Messinian salinity crisis

Géologie Méditerranéenne, 1980
Current opinion links the Messinian "salinity crisis" with a glacial period, during which the Mediterranean basin became isolated from the Atlantic Ocean. A review of the paleontolo-gical and sedimentary record in the Mediterranean and correlation with extra-Mediterranean sections rather suggests the Messinian evaporites formed during a moderately warm

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 ...
