International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 382 in the Scotia Sea’s Iceberg Alley recovered among most continuous and highest resolution stratigraphic records Southern near Antarctica spanning last 3.3 Myr. Sites drilled Dove Basin (U1536/U1537) have well-resolved magnetostratigraphy a strong imprint of orbital forcing their lithostratigraphy. All magnetic reversals Myr are identifi...

Engelswies is an early Miocene vertebrate locality in southern Germany with a rich assemblage of terrestrial mammals, invertebrates and fossil plants. It is dated to 16.5-17.0 Ma based on magnetostratigraphy, biostratigraphy and lithostratigraphy, and includes among the faunal remains a hominoid upper molar fragment, the oldest hominoid so far identified from Europe. The evidence from Engelswie...
