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 …

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 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 Neogene Rioni and Kura foreland basins in Georgia are located between the
converging Greater and Lesser Caucasus fold‐and‐thrust belts. The Rioni Basin continues …

Abstract Numerous Priabonian and Oligocene tuff layers within the Eastern and Central
Europe Paratethys and Tethyan sedimentary basins attest for extensive volcanic activity …

Numerous Eocene and Oligocene volcanic tuff layers within the Eastern, Central and
Southern Europe sedimentary basins attest to extensive volcanic activity. Tephra dispersal …

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 …

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 …

The Viborg Formation is the lowest part of the early Oligocene in Denmark and represents
the upper part of nannoplankton zone NP21. Here we describe a small assemblage of …

The history of the Paratethys and its inhabiting organisms was profoundly influenced by its
connections with the Global Ocean. As the sea-straits linking Paratethys with the ocean …
