A gastropod-based biogeographic scheme for the European Neogene freshwater systems

, 2015
For the first time a palaeobiogeographic framework is proposed for European Neogene freshwater systems. The distribution of 2226 species-group taxa of freshwater gastropods from over 2700 Miocene and Pliocene localities was evaluated. The localities were

Evolution in arid environments: the role of betalains, succulence, and medullary bundles

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Overview of the study system. Summary The flowering plant clade Caryophyllales includes many succulent species that grow in drought conditions. Many Caryophyllales species also have betalain pigmentation and medullary bundles, both of which have been linked to stress tolerance, albeit with less precise functional characterisation.

Reshaping the understanding of the paratethys using paleogeographic reconstructions and geochronology studies [PDF]

Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva
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 ...

Remberella , a new genus of extinct ericalean flower from the Middle Miocene Latah flora of Washington and Idaho, USA

Acta Palaeobotanica
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.

Geochemical characterization of Neogene sediments from onshore West Baram Delta Province, Sarawak: paleoenvironment, source input and thermal maturity

Open Geosciences, 2017
The Neogene strata of the onshore West Baram Province of NW Borneo contain organic rich rock formations particularly within the Sarawak basin. This basin is a proven prolific oil and gas province, thus has been a subject of great interest to characterise

The cranial, mandibular, and hyoid anatomy of softshell turtles (Trionychidae): A revised character list for phylogenetic analysis

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2790-2837, October 2026.
Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...

Did subduction in the western Mediterranean drive Neogene alpine dynamics? Insights from analogue modeling

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
In the Western Alps, a first Late Cretaceous to Eocene “Pyrenean-Provençal” compressive phase accommodating N-S shortening resulting from the convergence between Africa and Eurasia is classically described.

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1179-1194, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

Neogene evolution of large rivers surrounding the Tibetan plateau: timing, typology, and tectonic-climate coupling

Frontiers in Earth Science
Intensified Neogene uplift of the Tibetan Plateau, acting through tectonic-climatic coupling, fundamentally reconfigured large-river systems across East and South Asia.
