Nacholapithecus skeleton from the Middle Miocene of Kenya
Journal of Human Evolution, 2004An almost entire skeleton of a male individual of Nacholapithecus kerioi (KNM-BG 35250) was discovered from Middle Miocene (approximately 15 Ma) sediments at Nachola, northern Kenya. N. kerioi exhibits a shared derived subnasal morphology with living apes.

Astrochronology of Late Middle Miocene Mediterranean Sections
2004Abstract High-resolution cyclostratigraphy and calcareous plankton astrobiochronology have been obtained from the latest Langhian to the earliest Tortonian of the Mediterranean. The investigated areas (Malta, Tremiti, and Sicily) are located in different geological settings, and the three studied sections show different cyclicity ...

Chronicle of Miocene, Phase III: Middle Miocene Events: ABSTRACT
AAPG Bulletin, 1979Studies of climate evolution and Cenozoic cooling published in the past several years strengthen our previous paleontologic and stratigraphic models for significant refrigeration accompanied by lowered sea level during the middle Miocene (±15 to 12 m.y.B.P.). Currently, there is general acceptance of a eustatic lowering of sea level during late Miocene

Endemism in Middle Miocene Caribbean Molluscan Faunas
Science, 1965The term "middle Miocene Caribbean province" is used for a faunal province that embraced both western Atlantic and eastern Pacific waters. The percentage of endemic species in 13 local faunas in that province is tabulated. In general the largest faunas have the highest percentage of endemic species, but notable exceptions to that generalization are ...

Ctenodactylids from the Lower and Middle Miocene of Saudi Arabia
Palaeontology, 2004The ctenodactylids from the Lower and Middle Miocene of Saudi Arabia are represented by two species: Sayimys intermedius (Sen and Thomas, 1979) and Sayimys assarrarensis sp. nov. This new taxon differs from the other species of Sayimys by its larger size together with an association of characters such as the presence of a metalophulid II in d4 and the ...

A new Pitheciin primate from the middle Miocene of Argentina
American Journal of Primatology, 1998We report here a new fossil primate from the middle Miocene of Argentina. The material consists of isolated teeth, mandibular fragments, and a talus. The fossils were collected in the Collón Cura formation at Cañadón del Tordillo in Neuquén Province. An age of 15.71 +/- 0.07 Ma has been reported for the Pilcaniyeu Ignimbrite, which lies just below the ...

Species Recognition in Middle Miocene Hominoids
1993This chapter addresses the issue of species recognition in fossil samples. The particular example that is examined is the extensive collection of dental and gnathic remains from the middle Miocene locality at Pasalar, Turkey. This site is unusual in that available sedimentological and taphonomic evidence indicate that it was accumulated extremely ...

Naticid gastropods from the middle Miocene of western Ukraine
Zootaxa, 2019The paper covers 11 species of naticid gastropods occurring in the lower Serravallian (Upper Badenian) strata of western Ukraine (Central Paratethys). The studied material (over 1,700 naticids) represents six genera and 11 species, of which eight are new: Cochlis odovychenorum, Cochlis ukrainensis, Tectonatica anistratenkorum, Tectonatica pseudoprietoi,

Middle Miocene palaeoenvironments of the Niger Delta
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1992Abstract In order to recognize the palaeoenvironments of the deltaic sequence of the Middle Miocene oil-bearing E2.0 Reservoir in the Kolo Creek field, investigations of sediment grain size, textures, structures, trace fossils, mineralogical composition, diagenetic imprints, palynodebris types, palynomorphs and foraminifera have been carried out on ...
