the oudna field part of the offshore northeastern tunisia, straddles between two structural domains, the tunisian atlas to the north and the pelagian sea to the south. the study of this field has confirmed adequate petroleum system in fahdene formations (albian-cenomanian) and birsa (serravallian) resulting from the combination of several sedimentary, tectonic and thermal factors. to do this, w...

Abstract This paper provides an understanding of the sedimentary-tectonic evolution Cenozoic strata El Habt and Ouezzane Tectonic Units (Intrarif, External Rif) in Morocco. New data provide information about depositional architecture enable a correlation Rif Morocco with that Betic Cordillera Spain Tunisian Tell, which new insights for hydrocarbon exploration region regarding possible source, r...

A new and precisely defined chronometric subdivision of the Badenian (Middle Miocene, regional stage of Central Paratethys) is proposed. This uses global events, mainly geomagnetic polarity reversals as correlated chronometric boundaries, supported by climatic and sea-level changes in addition to isotope events and biostratigraphic data. The Karpatian/ Badenian boundary lies at 16.303 Ma, at th...

Conidae is a diverse family of carnivorous marine gastropods. They rapidly diversified during the Miocene and now they inhabit tropical subtropical seas. Here we attempt to provide first inventory fossil conids from late Crete (Greece). This paper deals with genera Conilithes Conus (Kalloconus) da Motta, 1991 will be followed by papers presenting other family. Using UV light, described residual...

In this paper, we describe palynological assemblages in the Middle Miocene (Serravallian) Kenslow Member of Brassington Formation at Bees Nest Pit, near Brassington, Derbyshire, U.K., and infer vegetation types their palaeoclimate implications. The limited lateral extent 1.33 m-thick succession clay lignite, its position surrounding fragments a large tree trunk, suggests that may have accumulat...

We study the structure of Llevant ranges in Mallorca with special emphasis on Cenozoic extensional evolution island, which we integrate a new geodynamic model for Westernmost Mediterranean. underwent two rifting phases Oligocene and Serravallian, before after development its Foreland Thrust Belt (FTB). The first event produced semigrabens (?29–23 Ma) that were inverted during Early-Middle Mioce...

Abstract The middle Miocene (upper Serravallian, lower Volhynian) deposits at Karpov Yar near Naslavcea, northern Moldova, are among the few settings in which fossil fish preserved with otoliths situ. Here, we describe new gobiid † Moldavigobius helenae gen. et sp. nov. from this locality. taxon is characterized by small size (up to 34.2 mm SL), a compact body (body depth 17–21% fan-shaped caud...
