Sedimentology and high-resolution sequence stratigraphy of the late middle to late Miocene Angostura Formation (western Borbón Basin, northwestern Ecuador)
|
Abstract:
An integrated analysis of facies and palaeontological content of the middle to late Miocene (c. 12.4-9.1 Ma) Angostura Formation led to the identification of facies associations indicative of shoreface and inner-shelf settings. The Angostura Formation comprises eight high-frequency sequences that are stacked to form a tectonically driven lowstand sequence set. The most complete examples of sequences are bounded by transgressively modified unconformities and exhibit a threefol...

Denudation Surfaces, Development of Pannonian Formations and Facies Distribution Indicate Late Miocene to Quaternary Deformation of the Transdanubian
Geolines
; The Transdanubian Range (TR) suffered a moderate extension during the rifting of the Pannonian basin between ~18 and ~11 Ma. Post-rift phase was connected to the deposition of different "Pannonian" (e.g., Late Miocene) formations both on top of the TR and in fastly subsiding basins around it.

Journal of Paleontology
; ABSTRACT- Genus Crocodylus is considered to have originated in Africa during the Early Miocene but it is only in the Late Miocene that there are evidences of dispersal toward Europe, where tomistomines and the alligatoroid Diplocynodon were widespread since the Paleogene. Revision of the type
