At the end of the Eocene, the demise of the Tethys Ocean led to the formation of one of the
largest anoxic seas in the last 50 million years of Earth history. This long-lived anoxic water …

The Neogene Styrian Basin is the westernmost sub-basin of the Pannonian Basin System.
The last comprehensive studies on the basin were published in the last millennium. This …

A comprehensive “model” of the semi-closed Central Paratethys Sea history was proposed
for the entire time span of 25 Ma. Publications and datasets of the last decades were …

A new and precisely defined chronometric subdivision of the Badenian (Middle Miocene,
regional stage of Central Paratethys) is proposed. This uses global events, mainly …

We present a tectonic map of the Tauern Window and surrounding units (Eastern Alps,
Austria), combined with a series of crustal-scale cross-sections parallel and perpendicular to …

Depositional sequences originating in semi-enclosed basins with endemic biota, partly or
completely isolated from the open ocean, frequently do not allow biostratigraphic …

The Miocene palaeogeographic evolution of the Paratethys Sea is still poorly constrained.
Here, we use modern Mediterranean biochronology to provide an up‐to‐date overview of …

Marine gateways prove to be important factors for changes in the ecology and biochemistry
of marginal seas. Changes in gateway configuration played a dominant role in the Middle …

Abstract The Badenian–Sarmatian boundary interval is marked by a major extinction event
of marine species in the Central Paratethys. The exact age of the boundary is debated …

The formation and deformation history of back-arc basins play a critical role in
understanding the tectonics of plate interactions. Furthermore, opening of extensional back …
