The objective of this chapter is to provide an up-to-date guide to Neogene nannofossil taxo nomy and biostratigraphy in a succinct and useful format. About 150 species are included here with brief …

(Knox et al., 2010). As a result, the SNSB contains an almost complete geological archive of Paleogene and Neogene climate, landscape and biotic evolution, although the record is mostly...

The Neogene oceans and continents were mosaicked to form a paleogeography similar to today and exposed to the warm conditions of the mid Neogene to the cooling toward the glacial Quaternary.

During the Neogene, the formation of the island of Sulawesi occurred which was a combination of various processes of subduction and collision. The collision of the Sula Spur front with West …

This marine barrier gradually affected ocean circulation during Neogene time. In the pro-cess, a striking contrast evolved between the relatively warm, more saline, nutrient-poor Caribbean and the more …

Rocks that formed during the Neogene Period constitute the Neogene System, which in turn comprises the Miocene (23.8–5.32 Ma) and Pliocene (5.32–1.81 Ma) epochs, and precedes the Quaternary...

One of the goals of this net-work was to create a database on Neogene Mammals of Eurasia, that could be used for further analysis of the ecosystems where hominoids lived.
