Late middle Miocene caviomorph rodents from Tarapoto, Peruvian Amazonia. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2021 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 ...

Boundary conditions for the Middle Miocene Climate Transition (MMCT v1.0) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2018 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]
Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2021 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.
