Lithostratigraphy of the Upper Oligocene - Miocene succession of Denmark [PDF]
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2010 This paper presents a revised lithostratigraphic scheme for the uppermost Upper Oligocene – Miocene succession of Denmark. The marine Oligocene Brejning Clay Member is upgraded to formation status and includes the Sydklint Member and the Øksenrade Member

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]
LithosphereThe 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 Oligocene Formation of the Pearl River Triggered by the Opening of the South China Sea
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The Pearl River is one of the largest rivers entering the South China Sea, yet its initiation time remains debated, a topic we address using Pb isotopes in detrital K‐feldspar.

Addition to the Egerian (late Oligocene–early Miocene) gastropod fauna of Esztergom (Hungary)
Földtani Közlöny, 2019 Additions are made to the Egerian (late Oligocene–early Miocene) gastropod fauna of Esztergom-Szentgyörgymező (Hungary) by description of 27 species. 14 taxa are new records at the locality. A few rare species are represented by newly collected well-preserved specimens, and five new species are designated: Calyptraea baldii n. sp., Cypraeorbis nadaii n.

A distinctive diporate pollen grain (Apocynaceae?) from the Late Oligocene–Early Miocene of New Zealand [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, 2014 Dicyclopsodites leei gen. et sp. nov. is described from New Zealand sediments close to the Oligocene–Miocene boundary. Its botanical affinity is deemed to be within the family Apocynaceae with links to southeast Asia where taxa with pollen of similar morphology exist today.

A critical revision of the fossil record, stratigraphy and diversity of the Neogene seal genus Monotherium (Carnivora, Phocidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Historically, Monotherium had been one of the few genera of extinct Phocidae (true seals) that served as a wastebin taxon. Consequently, it did neither aid in understanding phylogenetic relationships of extinct Phocidae, nor in understanding seal ...

Wonky whales: the evolution of cranial asymmetry in cetaceans
BMC Biology, 2020 Background Unlike most mammals, toothed whale (Odontoceti) skulls lack symmetry in the nasal and facial (nasofacial) region. This asymmetry is hypothesised to relate to echolocation, which may have evolved in the earliest diverging odontocetes.
