The Miocene: The future of the past
M Steinthorsdottir, HK Coxall… - Paleoceanography …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative
to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …

Large-scale molecular phylogeny, morphology, divergence-time estimation, and the fossil record of advanced caenophidian snakes (Squamata: Serpentes)
Caenophidian snakes include the file snake genus Acrochordus and advanced
colubroidean snakes that radiated mainly during the Neogene. Although caenophidian …

Divergent evolutionary trajectories of bryophytes and tracheophytes from a complex common ancestor of land plants
The origin of plants and their colonization of land fundamentally transformed the terrestrial
environment. Here we elucidate the basis of this formative episode in Earth history through …

When did the Anthropocene begin? A mid-twentieth century boundary level is stratigraphically optimal
We evaluate the boundary of the Anthropocene geological time interval as an epoch, since it
is useful to have a consistent temporal definition for this increasingly used unit, whether the …

[HTML][HTML] Quaternary time scales for the Pontocaspian domain: Interbasinal connectivity and faunal evolution
Abstract The Pontocaspian (Black Sea-Caspian Sea) region has a very dynamic history of
basin development and biotic evolution. The region is the remnant of a once vast Paratethys …

Expansion of the Tibetan Plateau during the Neogene
The appearance of detritus shed from mountain ranges along the northern margin of the
Tibetan Plateau heralds the Cenozoic development of high topography. Current estimates of …

Rapid eruption of the Columbia River flood basalt and correlation with the mid-Miocene climate optimum
Flood basalts, the largest volcanic events in Earth history, are thought to drive global
environmental change because they can emit large volumes of CO2 and SO2 over short …

[HTML][HTML] Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history
Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are
fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is …

Cyclostratigraphy and its revolutionizing applications in the earth and planetary sciences
LA Hinnov - Bulletin, 2013 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Over the past 25 yr, the science of stratigraphy has evolved to include time-correlative data
from vastly disparate components of the Earth system. Not least of these is the global signal …
