The Szamotuly Graben covers the southernmost part of Permo-Mesozoic Poznan–Szamotuly Fault Zone. Along this regional discontinuity there are several salt structures, including diapir, over which an extensional graben formed in Paleogene and Neogene. is located north Poznan central-western Poland, NW–SE-trending, ~20 km long, 3–5.5 wide, up to 160 m deep. It filled with Lower Oligocene Neogene s...

Twelve species of Neogene decapod crustaceans are described from late Miocene and early Pliocene deposits in the Valdivia, Osorno-Llanquihue, and Chiloé basins as well as from Mocha Island, offshore from the Temuco Basin, southern Chile. New species of thalassinideans include Ctenocheles notialis and Axianassa? chilensis. Axianassa Schmitt, 1924, has not been reported previously in the fossil r...

The Neogene is a globally recognized interval of geologic time that lasted from 23 until 1 [...]

The data on the genetic and spatial subdivision of populations synanthropic species small mammals, their dependence intensity with territories distant-pasture cattle tending are presented, some patterns indicators ectoparasite infestation communities revealed. factor determining differentiation mammals can be attributed to relationship ungulates that has long historical roots (Neogene, Anthropo...

New paleomagnetic results from Neogene sedimentary sequences from the Betic chain (Spain) are here presented. Sedimentary basins located in different areas were selected in order to obtain paleomagnetic data from structural domains that experienced different tectonic evolution during the Neogene. Whereas no rotations have been evidenced in the Late Tortonian sediments in the Guadalquivir forela...

Eastern Asia (EA) is a key region for the diversification of flowering plants in the Northern Hemisphere, but few studies have focused on the biogeographic history within EA in the context of the other northern continents. Polygonatum is an important medicinal genus widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere with its highest species richness in EA, and it represents an excellent model for st...

The North American deserts were impacted by both Neogene plate tectonics and Quaternary climatic fluctuations, yet it remains unclear how these events influenced speciation in this region. We tested published hypotheses regarding the timing and mode of speciation, population structure, and demographic history of the Mojave Fringe-toed Lizard (Uma scoparia), a sand dune specialist endemic to the...

Although the Andes are believed to have resulted mainly from crustal shortening, the shortening history remains debated and appears to require lateral (along-strike) crustal flow. Three-dimensional viscous flow modeling shows that, within geological uncertainties, the Andes may have been produced by either Neogene shortening alone or with significant preNeogene shortening. These scenarios requi...

Portugal has a rich fossil record both on the continent and in Azores islands (Santa Maria). For decades, researchers have found thousands of fossils identified hundreds species from major taxonomic groups. The present work focuses analyzing scientific literature Chondrichthyes collected fossiliferous deposits Neogene. Fossils sharks rays, teeth, dermal denticles, caudal spines were discovered ...
