Late middle Miocene caviomorph rodents from Tarapoto, Peruvian Amazonia. [PDF]
Miocene deposits of South America have yielded several species-rich assemblages of caviomorph rodents. They are mostly situated at high and mid- latitudes of the continent, except for the exceptional Honda Group of La Venta, Colombia, the faunal composition of which allowed to describe the late middle Miocene Laventan South American Land Mammal Age ...

Fossil fruits of Firmiana and Tilia from the middle Miocene of South Korea and the efficacy of the Bering land bridge for the migration of mesothermal plants [PDF]
Determining whether the high-latitude Bering land bridge (BLB) was ecologically suitable for the migration of mesothermal plants is significant for Holarctic phytogeographic inferences.

Middle Miocene carbon cycle dynamics: a multi-proxy approach. [PDF]
The development of permanent, stable ice sheets in Antarctica happened during the middle Miocene, about 14 million years ago (Flower and Kennett, 1995; Zachos et al., 2001). The middle Miocene therefore represents one of the distinct phases of rapid change in the transition from the “greenhouse” of the Cretaceous to the “icehouse” of the present day ...

Boundary conditions for the Middle Miocene Climate Transition (MMCT v1.0) [PDF]
The Middle Miocene Climate Transition was characterized by major Antarctic ice sheet expansion and global cooling during the interval ∼ 15–13 Ma. Here we present two sets of boundary conditions for global general circulation models characterizing ...

Systematic taxonomy of middle MioceneSphaeroidinellopsis(planktonic foraminifera) [PDF]
The taxonomy and phylogeny of the Miocene to Recent genus Sphaeroidinellopsis have been documented in previous studies, but the evolution of this lineage remains unclear. Some authors have debated this genus in the past, choosing a variety of parameters to discriminate the morphospecies.
