ABSTRACT Paludomidae is a diverse family of limnic gastropods in the Cerithioidea, with a distribution range including most of tropical sub‐Saharan Africa, the Nile Valley, Madagascar, the Seychelles, as well as South and Southeast Asia. Its systematics and taxonomy are currently in a state of confusion, with Thailand being inhabited by probably two ...

The Neogene oceans and continents were mosaicked to form a paleogeography similar to today and exposed to the warm conditions of the mid Neogene to the cooling toward the glacial Quaternary. Antarctic ice sheets stabilized, then Northern Hemisphere ice sheets grew and thickened. Tectonics continued to shape the continents and ocean floor.

Small pentamerous floral remains commonly encountered in Middle Miocene lake deposits of the Latah Formation of Washington and Idaho, USA, previously assigned to Diospyros , are here shown to represent an extinct genus.

Reshaping the understanding of the paratethys using paleogeographic reconstructions and geochronology studies [PDF]
The history of the Paratethys and its inhabiting organisms was profoundly influenced by its connections with the Global Ocean. As the sea‐straits linking Paratethys with the ocean expanded, they integrated the Paratethys with the global ocean, causing ...

Mechanisms of near‐normal sea water dolomitisation: Mesohaline‐reflux or syn‐depositional?
This study investigates the dolomitisation of the Eocene Dammam Formation on the Arabian Plate using petrographic, mineralogical, geochemical and isotopic analyses. The findings reveal two distinct dolomite types, formed primarily through normal‐to‐mesohaline sea water dolomitisation, challenging previous models such as sabkha‐meteoric mixing.

NEOGENE PARATETHYAN CROAKERS (TELEOSTEI, SCIAENIDAE)
The fossil record of sciaenid fishes (based on both otoliths and osteological finds) from the Neogene of the Paratethys is reviewed. The species Labrax (=Morone) multipinnatus Gorjanović-Kramberger, 1882 from the Sarmatian of Croatia (Sv. Nedelja) that was originally described as a sea bass of the family Moronidae is re-assigned to the extant croaker ...

Sediment‐stressed reefs over the past 420 Myr
In order to fully elucidate the relationship between siliciclastic sedimentation and reef development, there needs to be a significant step change in how we record ancient and recent reefs. Only through the collection of constrained quantitative data, we can progress beyond the largely conjectural associations postulated for many ancient reefal systems.

The paleo‐hydrology of the Sorbas Basin (SE Spain) and the wider Mediterranean region during the deposition of the Primary Lower Gypsum (PLG) stage of the Messinian Salinity Crisis, from ~5.97 to ~5.60 Ma, was affected by tectonics, precession‐forced climate oscillations, and eustatic sea‐level change.

The lacustrine Gördes Supradetachment Basin was developed along the Simav detachment fault during postorogenic extension in the north of the Menderes Massif in western Anatolia. The basin‐fill succession is represented by alluvial fan, Gilbert‐type delta, shoal‐water delta, foreshore, shoreface, offshore‐transition and peat‐forming mire deposits.
