Seagrass-associated Middle Miocene brachiopods from the Central Paratethys, with description of a new species of Bronnothyris

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
The Middle Miocene brachiopod fauna of the Mecsek Hills (Southern Hungary) is poorly known. In this paper the brachiopods of a new fossil site discovered by private collectors on the outskirts of Mecsekpölöske village is described. The studied assemblage

Paleomagnetic and geochronologic constraints on the Miocene evolution of semi-isolated basins in southeastern Europe

, 2011
This thesis addresses the Miocene evolution of the Central Paratethys and neighboring Dinaride Mountains. The Central Paratethys was a vast epicontinental sea covering most of central and southeastern Europe during the Oligo-Miocene.

Late Pleistocene Volcanic Rocks From Tengchong Volcanic Field at SE Tibetan Plateau: Constraints on Petrogenesis and Mantle and Crustal Processes

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Early zircon saturation and crystallisation occur in mafic (52–54 wt.% SiO2) lavas at Tengchong volcanic field. These early formed zircons with high δ18O (6.6‰–7.9‰) indicates mantle enrichment by subducted supracrustal materials. ABSTRACT Late Pleistocene (< 0.2 Ma) mafic and evolved volcanic rocks occur in northern Tengchong Volcanic Field, SE ...

Tectono‐Sedimentary Evolution of the Neogene İnegöl Basin (NW Anatolia): Constraints on Transtensional Basin Development at the Junction of the Western Anatolian Extensional Province and the North Anatolian Fault Zone

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The study outlines the tectono‐sedimentary evolution of the İnegöl Basin in north‐western Anatolia. Basin formation was controlled by interacting extensional and strike‐slip fault systems linked to uplift of the Uludağ Massif. Terrestrial sedimentation from the Miocene to Pleistocene is reconstructed using abundant fossil mammal assemblages that ...

Two Crusafontina (Mammalia, Insectivora) fossils from the Miocene of the Transdanubian Central Range (Hungary)

, 2008
Two isolated teeth of Anourosoricini shrews, Crusafontina (Mammalia, Insectivora, Soricidae) are present in this paper. A complete left maxillary molar was found in the Sarmatian (Middle Miocene) locality of Várpalota Lignite Mine, Pit III.

Astragalus ecomorphology in Quaternary elephantids

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The astragalus plays a fundamental role in the graviportal locomotion of proboscideans, reflecting the biomechanical constraints imposed by large body masses. This study analyses the morphological variability of the astragalus in Quaternary elephantids using linear biometry and 3D geometric morphometrics, incorporating an unpublished ...

Mangarara Formation: exhumed remnants of a middle Miocene, temperate carbonate, submarine channel-fan system on the eastern margin of Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

, 2009
The middle Miocene Mangarara Formation is a thin (1–60 m), laterally discontinuous unit of moderately to highly calcareous (40–90%) facies of sandy to pure limestone, bioclastic sandstone, and conglomerate that crops out in a few valleys in North ...
