Abstract:
AbstractAn integrated stratigraphical analysis emphasizing organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst (dinocyst) distribution has been carried out on multiple boreholes penetrating the Miocene in the subsurface of the Netherlands (southern North Sea Basin). The bulk of the investigated successions is attributed to the Breda Formation, a regional lithostatigraphical unit most complete in the south-eastern part of the Netherlands. In concert with a first regional integrated bio (chrono) sequence-stratigraphical framework, fourteen informal dinocyst zones for the southern North Sea Miocene (SNSM), and three subzones are proposed for the Breda Formation. By also integrating (chrono)stratigraphic information from Mediterranean and North Atlantic dinocyst studies a first ever detailed age-model is here proposed for the Miocene in the subsurface of the Netherlands.

Abstract:
Stratigraphic study in oil and gas wells is dependent on the research method and the characteristics of the collected samples, such as sample types and spaces between samples, that is why the stratigraphic boundary of the wells may fluctuate in a certain sedimentary range. Therefore, when re-evaluating the hydrocarbon potential or expanding the petroleum exploration targets of an area, we need to study additional evidence and geological events to correct the stratigraphic boundary of the well and correlate regional stratigraphy. These studies often use biostratigraphic and seismic stratigraphic methods. This paper provides evidence on biostratigraphy to correct the stratigraphic boundary between Miocene and Oligocene sediments in the northern Malay - Tho Chu basin and compares them with the general stratigraphy of the Malay basin. The research results determined that the top of the Oligocene sediment after correcting is higher than what was specified in the previous studies based on marker fossil findings in a palynomorph abundance cycle; and there are similar biostratigraphic characteristics between the studied area and the Malay basin.

Abstract:
The new stratigraphic data and tectonic evolution of the Late Miocene-Quaternary basins developed in Eastern Albania are presented. The reviewed stratigraphic data for deposits filling the Ohrid, Prespa and Devolli basins show that they began to form in Late Miocene. The stratigraphic evidences from eastern Albania are confronted with the stratigraphic data from the lake basins in western North Macedonia and northwestern Greece that all show the same age of infilling. The Cenozoic tectonic evolution of Eastern Albania consists of two phases of extensional deformations, the first in Middle Eocene-Late Miocene (Pannonian/Tortonian) and the second starting in Late Miocene (Pontian s. l.). The two phases are separated by a short compressive phase at the Late Miocene (end of Pannonian/Tortonian) or pre-Pontian s. l. time. In Late Miocene (Pontian) began forming the system of the Ohrid, Prespa and Devolli basins developed along the Drini fault zone. The Korça, Kolonja, Kukesi and Tropoja basins began to form since Pliocene and the Peshkopi Basin since Early Pleistocene. Finally, only the Ohrid and Prespa lakes are still active. The Late Miocene-Pleistocene basins were filled by lacustrine, lacustrine-fluvial and terrestrial sediments of the great thickness and of varied lithology: conglomerates, gravels, sandstones, sands, claystone and marls with lignite seams. Molluscs, microflora and flora, ostracods and vertebrates are found. The Lake Ohrid is a tectonically active graben formed during two main phases of deformation: (1) a trans-tensional phase which generated a pull-apart basin, and (2) an extensional phase which leads to its present geometry. All basins in Eastern Albania are situated in a basin and range-like (graben and horst) geodynamical setting. The inferred stratigraphic and tectonic evolution of Late Miocene-Quaternary basins in Eastern Albania as well as the relief formation and thermochronological data show that the Late Miocene-Quaternary period which led to the recent geological structure of Albania and its rapid relief formation, can be accepted as ‘Neotectonic period’.

Abstract:
Middle Miocene foraminifera from the northern Namibian outer continental shelf are indicators of a period prior to the initiation of the Benguela Upwelling System (BUS). This study provides an update to the occurrence and taxonomy of Miocene foraminifera from the continental margin of Namibia. The taxonomy of 51 benthic and 12 planktic foraminiferal species from the northern Namibian shelf are discussed, their stratigraphic significance given, and their ecological preferences and regional distribution summarised within this study. The identification of extinct planktic foraminifera provided key stratigraphic control for the middle Miocene strata of this region. The taxa identified in this study provide a distinct and different assemblage to the overlying younger strata. Many of the species recorded in this study have not been identified in the region and are reported for the first time from the middle Miocene on the southwestern continental shelf of Africa, off Namibia. A total of 47 species are identified and discussed for the first time from this region. Nineteen species recorded in this study are extinct and eleven taxa reported here have previously only been reported on the genus level on the southwestern shelf of South Africa. Seven benthic species (Amphicoryna scalaris, Marginulina obesa, Glandulina laevigata, Globocassidulina subglobosa, Uvigerina peregrina, Sphaeroidina bulloides and Melonis affinis) and two planktic species (Globigerina bulloides and Orbulina universa) did not disappear from the regional stratigraphy and continued to occur in Plio-Pleistocene to Recent sediments along the southwestern continental shelf of Africa.

Abstract:
Abstract. Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 982 represents a key location for understanding the evolution of climate in the North Atlantic over the past 12 Ma. However, concerns exist about the validity and robustness of the underlying stratigraphy and astrochronology, which currently limits the adequacy of this site for high-resolution climate studies. To resolve this uncertainty, we verify and extend the early Pliocene to late Miocene shipboard composite splice at Site 982 using high-resolution XRF core scanning data and establish a robust high-resolution benthic foraminiferal stable isotope stratigraphy and astrochronology between 8.0 and 4.5 Ma. Splice revisions and verifications resulted in ∼ 11 m of gaps in the original Site 982 isotope stratigraphy, which were filled with 263 new isotope analyses. This new stratigraphy reveals previously unseen benthic δ18O excursions, particularly prior to 6.65 Ma. The benthic δ18O record displays distinct, asymmetric cycles between 7.7 and 6.65 Ma, confirming that high-latitude climate is a prevalent forcing during this interval. An intensification of the 41 kyr beat in both the benthic δ13C and δ18O is also observed ∼ 6.4 Ma, marking a strengthening in the cryosphere–carbon cycle coupling. A large ∼ 0.7 ‰ double excursion is revealed ∼ 6.4–6.3 Ma, which also marks the onset of an interval of average higher δ18O and large precession and obliquity-dominated δ18O excursions between 6.4 and 5.4 Ma, coincident with the culmination of the late Miocene cooling. The two largest benthic δ18O excursions ∼ 6.4–6.3 Ma and TG20/22 coincide with the coolest alkenone-derived sea surface temperature (SST) estimates from Site 982, suggesting a strong connection between the late Miocene global cooling, and deep-sea cooling and dynamic ice sheet expansion. The splice revisions and revised astrochronology resolve key stratigraphic issues that have hampered correlation between Site 982, the equatorial Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Comparisons of the revised Site 982 stratigraphy to high-resolution astronomically tuned benthic δ18O stratigraphies from ODP Site 926 (equatorial Atlantic) and Ain el Beida (north-western Morocco) show that prior inconsistencies in short-term excursions are now resolved. The identification of key new cycles at Site 982 further highlights the requirement for the current scheme for late Miocene marine isotope stages to be redefined. Our new integrated deep-sea benthic stable isotope stratigraphy and astrochronology from Site 982 will facilitate future high-resolution late Miocene to early Pliocene climate research.

Abstract:
In geotechnical engineering, it has proven difficult to obtain reliable soil parameters for stiff clays. Laboratory testing results are often scattering due to the fissures and slickensides in these soils. Alternatively, in situ techniques offer a means to test the soils in place. This study focuses on in situ testing in Miocene stiff clays using an advanced nine strain arm self-boring pressuremeter (SBPM). This device was used to test the soils in both a self-boring and a simpler, non-boring mode (pre-bored or PBPM tests). The Miocene stiff clay was unique in that was sensitive and lacked of fissures and slickensides. The pressuremeter results could be compared to a range of other tests previously performed at the site. It is concluded that the SBPM provides accurate values of modulus and strength. Minor soil disturbance was found to have little effect when it could be anticipated. The simpler PBPM tests were not successful because of disturbance caused by borehole preparation.

Abstract:
The Friis Hills is an isolated plateau standing as much as 600 m above surrounding topography in the McMurdo Dry Valleys region or Antarctica.Preserved on the plateau surface is a sequence of early to middle Miocene-aged dritis. At the eastern edge of the plateau, these drifts fill a shallow paleovalley to a depth of at least 35 m. The drills are exposed in a natural cross-section where modern topography crosscuts the paleovalley. Establishing an age and an environmental interpretation for these deposits is important because Antarctic paleoclimate records are lacking from the Mid-Miocene Climate Optimum. Two drifts fill the ancient paleovalley in the eastern Friis Hills. The upper drift is here named Cavendish drift: the lower is here named Friis drift. Cavendish can be subdivided into three units, whereas Friis drift can be subdivided into two units. Each of these units is a horizontal bed that laps on paleovalley sidewalls. The lowest, Friis II, is a compact diamicton that is overlain by a nearly in-situ bedded volvanic ash. Based on [20]Ar/[39]Ar dating, the ash is 19.76 [plus/minus] 0.07 Ma old. A second diamicton, Friis I, conformably blankets Friis II and was discovered to hold fossileferous interbeds. Both Friis I and II contain erratic clasts and both are lodgemont tills deposited from small, locally derived, alpine glaciers. Bedrock striations show ice flow to the northeast at azimuths between 025? to 032?, parallel to the trend of the paleovalley axis. Above these, Cavendish I. II. and III were deposited when thick ice covered the Friis Hills. Where the Cavendish drift laps onto paleovalley sidewalls, bedrock striations show ice flow from 077? to 150?. Cavendish drift was deposited sometime alter 19.8 Ma but before 14 Ma. when the Dry Valleys glacial records show that regional glaciers became cold-based. Downcutting eventually isolated the Friis Hills plateau, resulting in the preservation of the drift sequence. This event was most likely associated with growth or the East Antarctic Ice Sheet 14 Ma ago. This age constraint means that the tills preserved in the Friis Hills date from a time just before the East Antarctic Ice Sheet expanded and became a permanent feature. Based on the age-dated stratigraphy presented in this thesis, future work focusing on fossiliferious interbeds could provide unique and important constraints on Miocene climate change.

Full text
Abstract:
Widespread, mid-Miocene rhyolite volcanism of eastern Oregon that are coeval or slightly postdate flood basalts of the Columbia River Basalt Province allows for mapping crustal domains using radiogenic and stable isotopes. Rhyolites are thought to be derived in large part by partial melting of the crust and thus yield direct information on the composition of the crust. Silicic volcanism is expressed in the form of numerous domes and tuffs exposed over a wide area (~300 km in N-S dimension and ~200 km in E-W dimension) west of the presumed craton boundary, which runs parallel but mostly east of the Oregon-Idaho state border as delineated by geophysical characteristics and isotopic transitions, including the 87Sr/86Sri = 0.7060 line (MSL) and 87Sr/86Sri = 0.7040 (CSL). 87Sr/86Sri of twenty-seven silicic units are variable and some are high. Sr isotopic ratios are inconsistent with the location of the traditional MSL and CSL boundaries. A primary control on the 87Sr/86Sri isotope variations may reflect changes in the crustal make-up of Paleozoic accreted terranes of a particular area rather than arising from a westward-dipping decollement that moved cratonic lithosphere below accreted terranes in eastern Oregon. A secondary control on observed isotopic ratios may be related to the amount and composition of basalt involved in the generation of rhyolites. This could lead to higher or lower 87Sr/86Sri relative to the surrounding crust because de facto coeval mafic magmas of the Columbia River Basalt Group have a wide range of Sr isotopic signatures. While Pb isotope data is incomplete for all samples of this study, the available data indicate a significant range in Pb isotopes. Yet, data of individual regions tend to plot close to one another relative to the entire data distribution. Comparison of samples from this study in a more regional view indicates the samples generally fall within the previously defined lead isotope boundaries of the main-phase Columbia River Basalt Group lavas. [lowercase delta]¹⁸O values range from below 2 parts per thousand to above 9 parts per thousand. In addition, there is a crude trend of rhyolites having lower [lowercase delta]¹⁸O and more radiogenic ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr[subscript i] ratios. The lowest oxygen ratios (< 2 parts per thousand) are found in rhyolites ~80 km west of the cratonic margin, potentially reflecting remelting or assimilation of hydrothermally altered crust. Low [lowercase delta]¹⁸O of selected rhyolite flows cannot be explained by remelting of Cretaceous plutons of the Idaho Batholith and appear irreconcilable with remelting of altered silicic rocks at centers of multiple, confocal caldera cycles- both processes that have been proposed to explain low [lowercase delta]¹⁸O of rhyolites of the Snake River Plain-Yellowstone area.

Full text
Abstract:
Between 22.7 Ma and 19.7 Ma a series of large volume ignimbrites, collectively known as the Oxaya Formation, covered large parts of the Western Andean Slope, in northernmost Chile, representing the onset of large volume ignimbrite volcanism in the Central Andes. Despite significant Miocene uplift and deformation, the Oxaya Formation is exceptionally well preserved, due to the dry climate of the Atacama Desert. Thorough examination of intact cores recovered from nine drill holes that penetrated the up to 1000 m thick Oxaya Formation enabled detailed reconstruction of the stratigraphic and magmatic evolution of the ignimbrites, as well as the tectonic evolution of the Western Andean Slope in this area. The Oxaya Formation consists of five members: the Poconchile ignimbrite; the volcaniclastic member; the Cardones ignimbrite; the Molinos ignimbrite; and the Oxaya ignimbrite. Medial and distal deposits of the 21.9 Ma Cardones ignimbrite are between 300 and 1000 m thick, . representing one of the thickest outflow sheets on Earth. A line-balanced reconstruction with the uneroded, but deformed, surface of this ignimbrite restores the covered pre-eruptive palaeotopography and constrains post-eruptive deformation. The extreme, but variable thickness of the Cardones ignimbrite results from a highly irregular pre-21.9 Ma palaeo-topography that was characterized by an up to 1700 m high proto-slope that was incised by rivers. After this palaeoslope was inundated by the Cardones ignimbrite, the area experienced up to 2000 m of structural relief of which ca. 80% can be attributed to fault-related folding into the ",40 km wide Huaylillas Anticline and ca. 20% to regional fore-arc tilting. The main folding likely occurred during the mid-and late Miocene and ceased by ca. 6 Ma.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter reviews the subsurface stratigraphy of Kuwait targeting geosciences educators. The lithostratigraphy and chronostratigraphy of the reviewed formations (association of rocks whose components are paragenetically related to each other, both vertically and laterally) followed the formal stratigraphic nomenclature in Kuwait. The exposed stratigraphic formations of the Miocene–Pleistocene epochs represented by the Dibdibba, Lower Fars, and Ghar clastic sediments (Kuwait Group) were reviewed in the previous chapter as part of near-surface geology. In this chapter, the description of these formations is based mainly on their subsurface presence. The description of the subsurface stratigraphic formations in Kuwait followed published academic papers and technical reports related to Kuwait’s geology or analog (GCC countries, Iraq and Iran) either from the oil and gas industry or from different research institutions in Kuwait and abroad. It is also true that studies related to groundwater aquifer systems also contribute to our understanding of the subsurface stratigraphy of Kuwait for the shallower formations. The majority of the published data were covered the onshore section of Kuwait. The subsurface stratigraphic nomenclature description is based on thickness, depositional environment, sequence stratigraphy, the nature of the sequence boundaries, biostratigraphy, and age. The sedimentary strata reflect the depositional environment in which the rocks were formed. Understanding the characteristics of the sedimentary rocks will help understand many geologic events in the past, such as sea-level fluctuation, global climatic changes, tectonic processes, geochemical cycles, and more, depending on the research question. The succession of changing lithological sequences is controlled by three main factors; sea-level change (eustatic sea level), sediment supply, and accommodation space controlled by regional and local tectonics influences. Several authors have developed theoretical methods, established conceptual models, and produced several paleofacies maps to interpret Kuwait’s stratigraphic sequence based on the data collected over time intervals from the Late Permian to Quaternary to reconstruct the depositional history of the Arabian Plate in general and of Kuwait to understand the characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs.

Abstract:
AbstractThe nowadays hyper-diverse clade of Actinopterygii (ray-finned bony fishes) is characterized by a long evolutionary history and an extremely rich global fossil record. This work builds upon 170 years of research on the fossil record of this clade in Greece. The taxonomy and spatiotemporal distribution of the ray-finned fish record of Greece are critically revisited and placed in an updated systematic and stratigraphic framework, while some new fossil data and interpretations are also provided. Greece hosts diverse ray-finned fish assemblages, which range in age from Lower Jurassic to Quaternary. Most known assemblages are of Miocene–Pliocene age and of marine affinities. A minimum of 32 families, followed by at least 34 genera and 22 species, have been recognized in Greece. From originally two named genera and seven species, only two fossil species, established on Greek material, are accepted as valid. Additional taxonomic diversity is anticipated, pending detailed investigations. From a taxonomic perspective, previous knowledge lies on preliminary or authoritative assessments of fossils, with many decades-old treatments needing revision. Little is known about Mesozoic–early Cenozoic occurrences or freshwater assemblages. Given the proven potential of the Greek fossil record, this chapter stresses the need for additional exploration and the establishment of permanent, curated collections of fossil fishes in Greek institutions. Directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The structure and stratigraphy of the Miocene formations east of San Francisco Bay have been described in multiple studies for over a century. We integrated the results of past investigations and provide new data that improve understanding of formation age, the timing of deformation, and the amount of dextral displacement on selected faults. New geologic mapping and better age control show that formations previously inferred to be separate units of different ages are correlative, and new names are proposed for these units. Miocene structures associated with the development of the San Andreas transform system exerted significant control on Miocene deposition in the East Bay area. The developing structure created five distinct stratigraphic sections that are differentiated on the basis of differences in the stratigraphic sequence, lithology, and age. The stratigraphic changes are attributed to significant dextral displacement, syndepositional faulting, and distal interfingering of sediment from tectonically elevated source areas. New stratigraphic evaluations and age control show that prior to ca. 6 Ma, the developing fault system created local tectonically induced uplift as well as spatially restricted subbasins. Regional folding did not occur until after 6 Ma. Past evaluations have inferred significant dextral displacement on some of the faults in the East Bay. The spatial relationships between unique conglomerate clasts and known source areas, as well as the distribution of well-dated and unique tuffs, suggest that dextral displacement on some faults in the East Bay is less than previously reported.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Exploration in the offshore Nile Delta province has revealed several hydrocarbon plays. Deep marine Turbidites is considered one of the most important plays for hydrocarbon exploration in the Nile Delta. These turbidites vary from submarine turbidite channels to submarine basin floor fans. An integrated exploration approach was applied for a selected area within West Delta Deep Marine (WDDM) Concession offshore western Nile Delta using a variety of geophysical, geological and geochemical data to assess the prospectivity of the Pre-Messinian sequences. This paper relies on the integration of several seismic data sets for a new detailed interpretation and characterization of the sub-Messinian structure and stratigraphy based on regional correlation of seismic markers and honoured the well data. The interpretation focused mainly on the Oligocene and Miocene mega-sequences. The seismic expression of stratigraphic sequences shows a variety of turbidite channel/canyon systems having examples from West Nile delta basin discoveries and failures. The approach is seismically based focusing on seismic stratigraphic analysis, combination of structure and stratigraphic traps and channels interpretation. Linking the geological and geophysical data together enabled the generation of different sets of geological models to reflect the spatial distribution of the reservoir units. The variety of tectonic styles and depositional patterns in the West Nile delta provide favourable trapping conditions for hydrocarbon generations and accumulations. The shallow oil and gas discoveries in the Pliocene sands and the high-grade oils in the Oligo-Miocene and Mesozoic reservoirs indicate the presence of multiple source rocks and an appropriate conditions for hydrocarbon accumulations in both biogenic and thermogenic petroleum systems. The presence of multi-overpressurized intervals in the Pliocene and Oligo-Miocene Nile delta stratigraphic column increase the depth oil window and the peak oil generation due to decrease of the effective stress. Fluids have the tendency to migrate from high pressure zones toward a lower pressure zones, either laterally or vertically. Also, hydrocarbons might migrate downward if there is a lower pressure in the deeper layers. Well data and the available geochemical database have been integrated with the interpreted seismic data to identify potential areas of future prospectivity in the study area.

Abstract:
Abstract In the Gulf of Suez rift basin, the Miocene sequence is a significant hydrocarbon resource. An integration of the planktonic foraminifera, and benthic foraminiferal biofacies are data used to build a detailed and fine chronostratigraphic scheme for the lower part to middle part Miocene succession in the October Field, Gulf of Suez. The paleoecologic habits and paleobathymetry of benthic foraminiferal biofacies, as well as the planktic/benthic (P/B) ratios of the studied successions, are used to determine the paleoenvironmental conditions that are in effect during the deposition of the studied Miocene successions. Elphidium biofacies are representative of the inner shelf paleoenvironment, Nonion biofacies and Siphonina/Cibicides biofacies are representative of the middle shelf paleoenvironment, Bulimina and Uvigerina biofacies are representative of the paleoenvironment outer shelf. The paleoenvironmental interpretations and chronostratigraphic for data and the nature of stratigraphic relations are integrated to distinguish five depositional sequences in the studied section. These are two in the Aquitanian/Burdigalian, one in the Burdigalian-Langhian, one in the Langhian, and one sequence in the Serravallian ages. The sequence boundaries were marked by subaerial exposures and hiatuses. A detailed correlation between the distinguished sequence stratigraphic lower-middle Miocene frame and those established in and outside Egypt is attempted. The absolute time equivalents of the planktic foraminiferal zones are adjusted by comparison with the geologic time scale of Gradstein et al. 2022. This comparison points out a more or less compatible correlation, with a few deviations that may be related to tectonic events that led to the absence of some recorded depositional sequences.

Abstract:
The Andaman Trough, located offshore North Sumatra is currently defined as an emerging basin for exploration. Its location primarily in a remote deep-water environment has resulted in limited well data being acquired to date and although there has historically been abundant seismic data, imaging of pre-Miocene stratigraphy has been poor. New seismic data, including the regional PGS NSMC3D and proprietary and multi-client 2D reprocessed data, combined with high resolution biostratigraphical analysis, has enabled extrapolation of the stratigraphy from the well explored and established shelfal areas down into the deep-water areas. To establish the high-resolution stratigraphic framework, paleo-environment, and paleo-climate for the well penetrations in the Andaman Trough, re-evaluation of quantitative and semi-quantitative abundance charts based on nannofossil, micropaleontology, and palynology zonation and sequences was conducted. Integration of this updated biostratigraphic analysis with interpretation from the modern regional seismic datasets enabled the identification of and confirmation of sequence boundaries and flooding surfaces across the Andaman Trough. Insights into timing of rifting, uplift, and erosion were made, as well as an interpretation of depositional environments, paleo-bathymetry and paleo-climate throughout the Andaman Trough. Significant findings include the chronostratigraphic separation of Late Oligocene Parapat fluvialtile deposits from the overlying Bampo marine turbidites, absent or incomplete Bampo Formation penetrated by some wells, as well as the delineation of a previously unidentified Eocene unconformity and revised timing of basin formation. Further insights into source rock development for the Eocene stratigraphic package were also developed.

Abstract:
Sedimentary basins within the Labrador-Baffin Seaway are the product of rifting between Greenland and the paleo-North American Plate. Rifting started in the Early Cretaceous, with seafloor spreading initiated in the Paleocene and ending near the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. A change in the spreading direction in the latest Paleocene resulted in transform offsets in the Davis Strait and along fracture zones in Baffin Bay, with deformation in northern Baffin Bay during the Eurekan Orogeny. Since the stratigraphy of western Baffin Bay is poorly constrained, analogues are used from the well studied Labrador and West Greenland margins and exposures on nearby Bylot Island. The generally northwest-trending basement structures are infilled with Cretaceous strata, which are overlain by a seaward-thickening wedge of post-rift Paleocene to Middle Miocene sedimentary rocks. Finally, a thick Middle Miocene and younger interval blankets the deep water and oceanic crust, with clinoforms locally developed on the shelf.
