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

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

Sedimentary sequences in ancient or long-lived lakes can reach several thousands of
meters in thickness and often provide an unrivalled perspective of the lake's regional …

The youngest regional chronostratigraphic unit of the Central Paratethys, the Pannonian
Stage, is benchmarked by the deposits of Lake Pannon, containing a highly endemic …

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 …

In this paper we establish when and how the Pannonian basin and associated Central
Paratethys basins were isolated from the remainder of the Paratethys, a system of back-arc …

Abstract The Tauern Window exposes a Paleogene nappe stack consisting of highly
metamorphosed oceanic (Alpine Tethys) and continental (distal European margin) thrust …

Burial of terrestrial organic carbon in marine sediments can draw down atmospheric CO2
levels on Earth over geologic timescales (≥ 105 yr). The largest sinks of organic carbon …

From the Oligocene onwards, the complex tectonic evolution of the Africa–Eurasia collision
zone led to paleogeographic and biogeographic differentiation of the Mediterranean and …
