Summary
Eight palaeogeographic-palinspastic sketches are presented for intervals from Late Oligocene to Pliocene times for the circum-Mediterranean area and the Paratethys. They are based primarily on accurate correlation of marine and continental biogeographic events and take into account the generally accepted ideas of plate tectonics. The marine and continental connections that can be inferred contribute important information on the geological evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
