The topographic evolution of the Tibetan Region as revealed by palaeontology Palaeobio. Palaeoenv. (IF 1.573) Pub Date : 2020-11-27 Robert A. Spicer, Tao Su, Paul J. Valdes, Alexander Farnsworth, Fei-Xiang Wu, Gongle Shi, Teresa E. V. Spicer, Zhekun Zhou
The Tibetan Plateau was built through a succession of Gondwanan terranes colliding with Asia during the Mesozoic. These accretions produced a complex Paleogene topography of several predominantly east–west trending mountain ranges separated by deep valleys. Despite this piecemeal assembly and resultant complex relief, Tibet has traditionally been thought of as a coherent entity rising as one unit.

The middle Miocene was a key period in Earth’s history as climate changed from one of the warmest phases of the Cenozoic Era, the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO), to colder conditions with the establishment of permanent ice sheets on Antarctica. This climate change had a profound impact on terrestrial ecosystems affecting vegetation worldwide. However, the scarceness of detailed pollen data at short-scale

Prasinophyte bloom and putative fungi abundance near the Kačák event (Middle Devonian) from the Odivelas Limestone, Southwest Iberia Palaeobio. Palaeoenv. (IF 1.573) Pub Date : 2020-02-12 Gil Machado, Ladislav Slavík, Noel Moreira, Paulo Emanuel Fonseca
The Kačák Event is one of the several prominent Devonian climatic and biotic perturbations with a supra-regional to global extent. Its record can be traced in the litho- and biostratigraphy of uppermost Eifelian-lowermost Givetian strata and with multiple geochemical and geophysical proxies. In southwest Iberia, within southwestern Ossa-Morena Zone domains, there are rare, scattered Early-Middle Devonian

The Zanclean marine fish fauna and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of a coastal marine setting in the eastern Mediterranean Palaeobio. Palaeoenv. (IF 1.573) Pub Date : 2020-02-12 Konstantina Agiadi, Christina Giamali, Angela Girone, Pierre Moissette, Efterpi Koskeridou, Vasileios Karakitsios
Fossil records of nearshore, shallow marine fish communities are rare. Here, we present the rich and diverse fish fauna of a coastal setting in the eastern part of the Mediterranean during the early Pliocene, which comprises 54 taxa, 77% of which are extant and currently occupy the same shores. We analyse these assemblages to estimate the palaeodepth, the substratum and the climatic and oceanographic

Ichnology of the Middle Jurassic hiatus concretions from Poland: implications for their formation, exhumation, and palaeoenvironment Palaeobio. Palaeoenv. (IF 1.573) Pub Date : 2020-02-08 Grzegorz Sadlok, Michał Zatoń
In the present study, the Middle Jurassic exhumed carbonate concretions (the so-called hiatus concretions) from the Polish Jura (southern Poland) were studied ichnologically (precursor burrows and their tiering and bioerosion patterns) in order to decipher the palaeoenvironmental conditions leading to their formation and exhumation. The ichnological approach to the concretionary bodies used in this

Ostracods and the middle Miocene evolution of the Bugojno Basin (Bosnia and Herzegovina) Palaeobio. Palaeoenv. (IF 1.573) Pub Date : 2019-12-11 Valentina Hajek-Tadesse
In the present study, the taxonomical and palaeoecological interpretations of non-marine ostracod assemblages from the Gračanica opencast coal mine are summarised. The results revealed three different ostracod assemblages within a 40-m succession. The oldest ostracod assemblage from the lower part of the section consisted primarily of pioneer species Fabaeformiscandona cf. pokornyi, Vestalenula cylindrica

Two new early Sarmatian s. str. (latest middle Miocene) rodent faunas from the Carpathian Basin Palaeobio. Palaeoenv. (IF 1.573) Pub Date : 2019-12-07 János Hír, Vlad Codrea, Jérôme Prieto
The new early Sarmatian microvertebrate localities Kozárd (Hungary, Nógrád County) and Vârciorog (Romania, Bihor County) are of first importance for the understanding of faunal evolution, as well as the palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimate changes during the late middle Miocene in the Central Paratethys. Both localities are rich in Foraminifera and Mollusca. This allows to correlate both continental

Fish, amphibian and reptilian faunas from latest Oligocene to middle Miocene localities from Central Turkey Palaeobio. Palaeoenv. (IF 1.573) Pub Date : 2019-12-03 Davit Vasilyan; Zbyněk Roček; Anna Ayvazyan; Leon Claessens
In this paper, we describe ectothermic vertebrate assemblages from the Kargı 1, Kargı 2, Kargı 3, Harami1, Harami 3, Hancılı, Keseköy, Çandır and Bağiçi localities in Turkey. The ages of these localities range from the latest Oligocene to the middle Miocene. The preserved non-mammalian fauna of the studied localities includes fishes (Luciobarbus sp., Barbus sp., Luciobarbus vel Barbus sp., aff. Capoeta

Early Miocene insectivores of Gökler (Kazan Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey) Palaeobio. Palaeoenv. (IF 1.573) Pub Date : 2019-11-11 Lars W. van den Hoek Ostende; Peter Joniak; Bora Rojay; Cathelijn Aten; Melike Bilgin; Pablo Pelaez-Campomanes
Unlike the rodents of the local zone C (MN 2) fauna of Gökler, the faunal list of the insectivores shows little surprises. The fauna is dominated by the gymnure Galerix saratji and the enigmatic talpid Suleimania ruemkae, both present in such numbers that for the first time the anterior dentition could be reconstructed. In the case of Galerix, these new data show that the older species had a relatively

Depositional environments and landscapes of the upper Miocene Ipururo Formation at Shumanza, Subandean Zone, northern Peru Palaeobio. Palaeoenv. (IF 1.573) Pub Date : 2019-11-06 Augustin Feussom Tcheumeleu, Séverine Fauquette, Angélica Aliaga Castillo, Camila Martinez, Federico Moreno, Rosa E. Navarrete, Francisco Parra, Frank P. Wesselingh, Rodolfo Salas-Gismondi, Rafael Varas-Malca, Martin Roddaz, Pierre-Olivier Antoine
During the late Miocene, the Andean–Amazonian region experienced drastic climatic and environmental changes, notably due to a major phase in the Andean uplift. The fossil record is virtually undocumented for this period in the Subandean Zone, where very few palaeoenvironmental and palaeontological investigations have been undertaken. Here, we describe plant remains (pollen, spores, and leaves), microfossils
