Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

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 ...

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.

Stratigraphic implications of the Middle Miocene of the Despotovac area: Recognition of two geological formations [PDF]
The Middle Miocene of the Despotovac area contains sediments of the lower Middle Miocene (Badenian) and upper Middle Miocene (Sarmatian). The Middle Miocene deposition shows different local variations, but generally fits the evolution of the Central ...
