Following Paleogene and older orogenic phases, the ®rst tectonic event which aected the studied area was characterised by Early Miocene large scale extension to transtension which is responsible for the opening of the Getic Depression as a dextral pull-apart basin. Further Middle Miocene contraction caused WNW±ESE oriented thrusts and associated piggy-back basins. The last tectonic episode recognised in the studied area relates to general transpressive deformations during the Late Miocene±Early Pliocene interval, a ®rst NW±SE oriented dextral episode is followed by second N±S sinistral deformations.

A framework of ichthyofaunal ecostrati- graphy of the Oligocene–Early Miocene strata of the Polish Outer Carpathian basin. Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae, 76: 1–111. Abstract: The paper presents the results of an analysis of ichthyofaunal variability throughout the section of the Menilite-Krosno Series (MKS) in the Outer Carpathians of Poland. The studied tanathocoenoses were formed at the bottom of a more than 2,000 m deep northern basin of the Tethys, being largely represented by the continental rise and bottoms of its narrow furrows, and – to a lesser degree – the continental slope and slopes of a submarine high. Lateral variability of statististically representative assemblages of tanathocoenoses hosted in thin, isochro- nous horizons is interpreted as a result of both local changes of ichthyocoenoses and the influence of post-mortem relocation of fishes that mainly dwelled the shelf and upper continental slope. Vertical variability, in turn, is considered as a resulting from changeable conditions of the ecological environment, the input and outflow of taxa whose evolution proceeded in the Indo-Pacific area, and the species extinction.

ISSN 2533-4050 (print), ISSN 2533-4069 (on-line). Abstract: The Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde in Karlsruhe houses an interesting collection of Turolian mammals from Mahmutgazi, Turkey, among which is a comprehensive sample of the large suid, Hippopotamodon erymanthius. The fossils plot out within the range of metric variation of H. erymanthius from Pikermi and Samos, Greece, but lie at the lower end of the range. Like the suids from these sites, the Mahmutgazi specimens lack the first premolar. Overall, the Mahmutgazi sample is metrically and morphologically close to the material from Akkaşdağı, Turkey. The upper and lower third molars and fourth premolars are, on average, smaller than those of Hippopotamodon major from Luberon, France (MN 13). Two undescribed fossils of H. ery- manthius from Pikermi are housed at the SMNK, and are included in this paper in order to fill out the data base for the species at this locality. The chronological position, palaeoecology and sexual dimorphism of the Mahmutgazi suids are discussed.

    EURASIAN MIDDLE AND LATE MIOCENE HOMINOID PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHY AND THE GEOGRAPHIC ORIGINS OF THE HOMININAE by Mariam C. Nargolwalla A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by M. Nargolwalla (2009) Eurasian Middle and Late Miocene Hominoid Paleobiogeography and the Geographic Origins of the Homininae Mariam C. Nargolwalla Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto 2009 Abstract The origin and diversification of great apes and humans is among the most researched and debated series of events in the evolutionary history of the Primates. A fundamental part of understanding these events involves reconstructing paleoenvironmental and paleogeographic patterns in the Eurasian Miocene; a time period and geographic expanse rich in evidence of lineage origins and dispersals of numerous mammalian lineages, including apes. Traditionally, the geographic origin of the African ape and human lineage is considered to have occurred in Africa, however, an alternative hypothesis favouring a Eurasian origin has been proposed. This hypothesis suggests that that after an initial dispersal from Africa to Eurasia at ~17Ma and subsequent radiation from Spain to China, fossil apes disperse back to Africa at least once and found the African ape and human lineage in the late Miocene. The purpose of this study is to test the Eurasian origin hypothesis through the analysis of spatial and temporal patterns of distribution, in situ evolution, interprovincial and intercontinental dispersals of Eurasian terrestrial mammals in response to environmental factors. Using the NOW and Paleobiology databases, together with data collected through survey and excavation of middle and late Miocene vertebrate localities in Hungary and Romania, taphonomic bias and sampling completeness of Eurasian faunas are assessed.

Microstonyx shows changes in incisor morphology, which are interpreted as a further adaptation to rooting. This occurred probably in a short period between 8.7 and 8.121 Ma ago and possibly is a reaction to environmental change. The incisor morphology in locality 58-HAY-2 suggests that it is temporally close to this change, which would imply that this locality and the lithostratigraphically lower 58-HAY-19 belong to the lower part of MN11 and not to MN12. The findings are discussed in the regional context and contribute to the knowledge of the Anatolian fossil mammals. Key words: Suidae, Microstonyx, rooting, ecology, Late Miocene 1. Introduction 1.1.

The specimen is a left adult mandibular corpus preserving strongly worn M2 and M3, fragmentary roots of P4 and M1, alveoli of canine and P3, and the lower half of the mandibular symphysis. In Southeast Asia, two Late Miocene medium-sized hominoids have been discovered so far: Lufengpithecus from the Yunnan Province, southern China, and Khoratpithecus from northern Thailand and central Myanmar. In particular, the mandibular specimen of Khoratpithecus was discovered from the neighboring village of Tebingan. However, the new mandible shows apparent differences from both genera in the shape of the outline of the mandibular symphyseal section. The new Tebingan mandible has a well-developed superior transverse torus, a deep intertoral sulcus (= genioglossal fossa), and a thin, shelf-like inferior transverse torus. In contrast, Lufengpithecus and Khoratpithecus each have very shallow intertoral sulcus and a thick, rounded inferior transverse torus.

  • Paleozoic Tectonostratigraphic Development and Paleogeography of Brunovistulian Terrane and Comparison with Other Terranes at the SE Margin of Baltica-Laurussia
    Journal of the Czech Geological Society 47/34(2002) 81 Late Proterozoic Paleozoic Tectonostratigraphic Development and Paleogeography of Brunovistulian Terrane and Comparison with Other Terranes at the SE Margin of Baltica-Laurussia Svrchnoproterozoický paleozoický tektonostratigrafický vývoj a paleogeografie brunovistulického teránu a srovnání s dalími terány na JV okraji Baltiky-Laurusie (9 figs, 2 tabs) JIØÍ KALVODA1 ROSTISLAV MELICHAR2 ONDØEJ BÁBEK3 JAROMÍR LEICHMANN4 1 Department of Geology and Paleontology, Kotláøská 2, 61137 Brno, [email protected] 2 Department of Geology and Paleontology, Kotláøská 2, 61137 Brno, [email protected] 3 Department of Geology, Tø. Svobody 26, 771 46 Olomouc; [email protected] 4 Department of Geology and Paleontology, Kotláøská 2, 61137 Brno, [email protected] There are close similarities between the Brunovistulian Terrane and the Istanbul Zone both in the Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic. The geological structure, lithology and geochronology of the Cadomian Brunovistulicum show a broad fit with the crystalline basement of the Istanbul Zone. Their Gondwana or Baltica affinity is still poorly constrained and remains a matter of discussion. The Vendian and Cam- brian sequences recognized in the central Malopolska, Brunovistulian and Moesian terranes correlate well with the Scythian Platform. In the Istanbul Zone the presence of pre-Ordovician sedimentary sequences has not been confirmed and may only be anticipated. In Paleozoic the best fit was attained in the DevonianCarboniferous. The sedimentary record in the Zonguldak and Istanbul terranes correlates closely to the Moravian Karst and Ludmírov facies developments of the Brunovistulian Terrane. This correlation is reinforced by the good fit of the main Variscan deformation phases attributed in both the Brunovistulian Terrane and the Istanbul Zone to the late Viseanearly Namurian and Westphalian-Stephanian intervals.
