Calibration of the geological time scale is achieved by independent radioisotopic and astronomical dating, but these techniques yield discrepancies approximately 1.0% or more, limiting our ability to reconstruct Earth history. To overcome this fundamental setback, we compared 40Ar/39Ar ages tephras in marine deposits Morocco calibrate age Fish Canyon sanidine, most widely used standard geochronology. This calibration results a more precise older 28.201 +/- 0.046 million years ago (Ma)...
Abstract We propose a revised age calibration of the Messinian salinity crisis onset in Mediterranean at 5.971 Ma based on recognition an extra gypsum cycle transitional interval Perales section (Sorbas basin, Spain) and revision magnetostratigraphy Monticino (Vena del Gesso Italy). This re‐calibration allows to state more accurately that: (i) encompassing MSC ‐onset is continuous, thus ruling out any erosional feature or stratigraphic hiatus related major sea‐level fall affecting...
The Pontocaspian (Black Sea - Caspian Sea) region has a very dynamic history of basin development and biotic evolution. is the remnant once vast Paratethys Sea. It contains some best Eurasian geological records tectonic, climatic paleoenvironmental change. Pliocene-Quaternary co-evolution Black Sea-Caspian dominated by major changes in water (lake sea) levels resulting pulsating system connected isolated basins. Understanding region, including drivers lake level faunal evolution, hampered...
The Xining subbasin of the Longzhong basin holds longest continuous Cenozoic stratigraphic record at margin northeastern Tibetan Plateau. Despite a rich biostratigraphic content (including Xiejia mammal fauna), tectonic evolution is largely unconstrained. In this study we present stratigraphic, biostratigraphic, and magnetostratigraphic results that provide basis for reconstructing with respect to adjacent regions Magnetostratigraphic analysis from three red bed sections in indicates...

Abstract The Tarim Basin in western China formed the easternmost margin of a shallow epicontinental sea that extended across Eurasia and was well connected to Tethys during Paleogene. Climate modelling studies suggest westward retreat this from Central Asia may have been as important Tibetan Plateau uplift forcing aridification monsoon intensification Asian continental interior due redistribution land‐sea thermal contrast. However, testing hypothesis is hindered by poor constraints on timing...
