DOI: 10.1007/s10347-019-0575-2
Abstract: The Lower–Middle Miocene Lagos-Portimão Formation at Portimão, southern Portugal, consists of three main heterozoan carbonate facies: mollusc-rich rudstone in a matrix of skeletal packstone/grainstone (MR), fine-to-medium skeletal packstone/grainstone (SPG), and quartz-rich skeletal packstone (QSP). These… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10914-020-09521-w
Abstract: The Miocene-Pliocene (Turolian-Ruscinian) transition represents a fundamental interval in the evolution of Euro-Mediterranean paleocommunities. In fact, the paleoenvironmental changes connected with the end of the Messinian salinity crisis are reflected by a major renewal in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12040-019-1220-8
Abstract: The NW–SE trending grabens of Sers–Siliana, located in the Central Tunisian Atlas, show a peculiarity, compared to adjacent grabens, which comes from the existence of an early Miocene sedimentary gap. This paper discusses the structural… read more here.
