The Eocene is the initial stage of Cenozoic global cooling. Compared with abundant marine records, continental records are scarce. Throughout Eocene, a series continuous deposition gypsum and volcanic tuff-bearing red clastic sediments have developed in Nangqian Basin (NB). In this work, representative were collected from NB, lipid biomarkers compound-specific carbon isotopes n -alkanes analyze...

Pollen analysis of Miocene and Pliocene sediments from southeastern Europe and the northeastern Mediterranean is represented in pollen synthetic diagrams based on ecological criteria in order to clearly visualize changes in the composition and structure of the vegetation through time. New pollen data, together with abundant existing palynological information from this area, show a progressive r...

Abstract: A unique geoinformation service “The Interactive Geology Atlas” has been created and launched based on the data obtained by Authors during years of research evaluation integrated biostratigraphic, paleomagnetic sedimentological as well published references materials. The Atlas includes geological sections comprehensively studied, described mapped. Contrary to analogous services, cover...

Objective: The Asmari Formation is characterised by alternation thick carbonate and marl sequence of the Oligocene- Miocene in the Zagros Basin, southwest of Iran that were deposited on the shelf of Eastern Paratethys. Methods: This formation is exposed at Tang-e-Khoshk in the Fars subcoastal zone with a thickness of 286 m comprising alternation of medium and thick to massive bedded carbonates,...

Abstract Former studies proposed that the speciation of subgenus Paraphlebotomus happened in Neogene Epoch circum-Mediterranean region due to geographical segregation effect former Paratethys Sea. It was aimed study whether modelled ranges Phlebotomus sergenti and similis support or contradict this barrier role sandfly. For purpose, potential were based on present climatic requirements taxa. Th...

Benthic foraminiferal, sedimentological, and stable isotope analyses performed on early Zanclean sediments from Alboran Basin ODP Site 976 southern Spanish land-based sections in the Malaga, Nijar Sorbas basins have enabled reconstruction of Mediterranean environmental conditions immediately after Messinian Salinity Crisis. The presence at Miocene – Pliocene boundary dark layers, often enriched...

Introduction Using an integrative taxonomic approach, we investigated the morphological and molecular characters to identify species of genus Pseudosinella occurring in caves Western Carpathians clarify their phylogenetic relationships. Based on characters, hypothesized that aggtelekiensis (Stach, 1929) paclti (Rusek, 1961) originated from different phyletic lineages. Methods We used barcoding ...
