A complex interplay of palaeoclimatic, eustatic and tectonic processes led to fragmentation
and dissipation of the vast Tethys Ocean in Eocene–Oligocene times. The resulting …

The stratigraphic scale of the Eastern Paratethys is revised based on a study of the Neogene
stratotype and reference sections, their biotic characteristics, and paleomagnetic and …

The middle Eocene climatic optimum (ca. 40 Ma) stands out as a transient global warming
phase of∼ 400 ky duration that interrupted long-term Eocene cooling; it has been …

The first well‐preserved soft‐body imprint of a fossil squid was discovered from the Lower
Oligocene of the Krasnodar region, Russia. The squid is perfectly preserved, with many …

The biostratigraphy and paleoenvironments of the İhsaniye Formation exposed at
Karaburun in northwest Turkey is described based upon the study of abundant and well …

The sedimentary succession along the Belaya River (North Caucasus) provides a record of
middle Eocene to Miocene sediments. This time interval is well known for its important …

The Cenozoic succession in the Lower Kura Basin includes largely uniform, often carbonate-
free mudstones. Because age dating of these sediments has proved difficult, the stratigraphy …

Nannofossils and planktonic foraminifers from the Lower Miocene Alkun Formation of central
and western Ciscaucasia were studied in the following sections: the stratotype section on …

Abstract The Lower Jurassic Cook Formation reservoir is a hydrocarbon-prolific unit that
produces from several fields in the northern North Sea. For 40 years this formation has been …

Data on the principal Cenozoic localities of marine bony fishes (represented by skeletal
remains, not otoliths) from the territory of the development of the Tethys and Paratethys are …
