First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical

Late Miocene Mediterranean desiccation: topography and significance of the 'Salinity Crisis' erosion surface on-land in southeast Spain: Comment [PDF]

, 2000
One of the most striking aspects of the Mediterranean "Messinian Salinity Crisis" as observed in landbased sections, is the basin-wide synchronicity in facies change (Krijgsman et al., 1999a).

Mid‐infrared spectroscopy applied to a multi‐level cave system (Montmaurin, SW France): An innovative method for assessing sediment provenance

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

Geographic Patterns of Intra‐ and Interspecific Diversity of Riverine Fish Species in the Italian Northern Apennines and Ligurian Alps

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigated the suitability of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to identify inter‐ and intraspecific diversity patterns of riverine fish populations across the Adriatic and Ligurian drainage basins in Northern Italy. Our results revealed genetic as well as community differentiations, with the Adriatic side displaying higher taxon richness ...

The deep record of the Messinian salinity crisis: Evidence of a non-desiccated Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

, 2015
This research is focused on a complete reexamination of the evaporite facies present in all the cores that cut through the topmost deposits of the Messinian salinity crisis lying below the floor of the Mediterranean Sea (DSDP Legs 13 and 42A, ODP Legs ...

From Extension to Strike‐Slip Faulting Along the Western Continuation of the North Anatolian Fault in the Northern Aegean Sea: Structural, Geochronological and Geochemical Constraints

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Northern Aegean region preserves a complex deformation pattern shaped by Miocene extension driven by retreat of the Hellenic subduction system, later overprinted by Plio–Pleistocene transtension linked to the westward propagation of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). Although numerous structural, geophysical and geochronological studies have

Messinian coral reefs and erosion surfaces in Cabo de Gata (Almeria, Spain) [PDF]

, 2016
Excellent exposures in Cabo de Gata area reveal two major Messinian depositional sequences, the Reef Complex and the Terminal Complex, which are overlying a complicated erosional morphology with several terraces on the volcanic basement.

Chronology, causes and progression of the Messinian salinity crisis [PDF]

, 1999
The Messinian salinity crisis is widely regarded as one of the most dramatic episodes of oceanic change of the past 20 or so million years (refs 1±3).

Multidisciplinary approach to revisit the state of activity of a deep‐seated gravitational slope deformation in the frame of the Quaternary geomorphological evolution of the Central Apennines (Italy)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Evaluating the state of activity of Deep‐Seated Gravitational Slope Deformation (DSGSD) is a challenge that requires multidisciplinary analytical approaches. This research focuses on the slope‐scale gravitational process, framing the role of the Quaternary morphodynamics of a river valley where multiple DSGSDs coexist, to reconstruct the ...

The Messinian Salinity Crisis Between Italy and Albania: The Peri‐Adriatic Depression and Southern Adriatic Basin Records

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Basin‐scale correlation of Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) deposits across the Apennine–Albanide foreland basin system integrating outcrop and subsurface data. ABSTRACT We reconstructed the geological evolution of the Albanides during the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC), based on the integration of outcrop and subsurface data from both onshore (peri ...
