New data concerning the early middle miocene on the southern slopes of Fruška Gora (Northern Serbia): A case study from the Mutalj quarry [PDF]

Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2011
During the last few years, geological research at the southern slopes of Fruška Gora Mt. enabled the discovery of different Miocene units (undivided the Lower Miocene and Middle Miocene Badenian, predominantly). This is primarily thinking of the

Revised Middle Miocene datum for initial marine flooding of North Croatian Basins (Pannonian Basin System, Central Paratethys)The Pannonian Basin System (PBS) originated during the Early Miocene as a result of extensional processes between the Alpine-Carp

Geologia Croatica, 2011
The Pannonian Basin System (PBS) originated during the Early Miocene as a result of extensional processes between the Alpine-Carpathian and the Dinaride Orogenic Belts.

MicroCT reinvestigation of the only articulated fossil anostomid fish reveals synonymy of Arhinolemur Ameghino, 1898 and Megaleporinus Ramirez et al., 2017

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Arhinolemur scalabrinii† Ameghino, 1898 was originally described as a strepsirrhine primate (Mammalia) but has been recognized as an anostomid fish since 2012. It remains the only extinct anostomid species known from complete cranial material.

Oldest well‐preserved euprimate petrosal, from the early Eocene of India (Vastan Lignite Mine, Gujarat)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An exquisitely preserved, isolated partial petrosal with associated fragmentary stapes is described from the Vastan Lignite Mine (Gujarat, India), dated to the early Eocene (~54.5 Ma). Several anatomical traits (e.g., large petrosal plate; posterolateral entry of the internal carotid artery to the tympanic cavity; bony tubes surrounding the ...

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Magnetic fabric of the late Miocene extrusive rocks of the Combia Volcanic Province: Tectonic implications for the northern Andes

Earth and Planetary Physics
The accretion of the Panama–Chocó Block to the South American Plate partially drove the geological setting of the northern Andes. This event occurred in different collisional stages that are recorded in Oligocene–middle Miocene deformed rocks of the ...

REEFS AND BIOACCUMULATIONS IN THE MIOCENE DEPOSITS OF THE NORTH CROATIAN BASIN – AMAZING DIVERSITY YET TO BE DESCRIBED

Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2016
During the early stages of the Middle Miocene transgression marine biota invaded the newly formed Paratethys Sea. Reefs and reef-like structures particularly flourished with life, supported by the favourable climate conditions.

Depositional characteristics and evolution of Miocene deep-water channel systems in block A of Lower Congo-Congo Fan Basin, West Africa

Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2021
Researches on the depositional characteristics, evolution and constraining factors of deep-water channel systems are the key factors to reveal the "source-sink" process at continental margin and make big breakthroughs in deep-water hydrocarbon ...
