At the southern margin of the Central Anatolian Plateau (CAP), marine deposits that overlie the Central Tauride units at up to 2 km of elevation were used to constrain the onset of uplift to the middle‐late Miocene. This study demonstrates that much younger marine deposits cap the southern margin. We recognize the Last Common Occurrence of Neogloboquadrina spp. (sin) (0.61 Ma) and Pseudoemiliania lacunosa (0.467 Ma), which points to an early middle Pleistocene age. The benthic fauna indicates an epibathyal marine environment (400 to 500 m paleodepth), with an associated paleocoastline now at ~1,500 to 1,600 m above sea level. Our new results imply uplift rates of up to 3.21–3.42 mm/yr for the CAP southern margin since the deposition of the young marine units. In the area, the evaluation of late Pleistocene and Holocene uplift rates of ~1 mm/yr points to a post early middle Pleistocene short‐lived period of rapid uplift of the CAP southern margin, which can correlate the short‐lived surface uplift signal in numerical models of slab breakoff. Overall, this work demonstrates that the majority of the modern topography at the CAP southern margin (1,500 to 1,600 m) was only recently acquired, pointing to the absence of a significant orographic barrier along the southern plateau margin prior to 500 ka. The multiphased uplift recognized at the CAP southern margin by previous authors, as well as the fast uplift rate documented in this work, can be linked to lithosphere delamination and subsequent slab breakoff during the Arabian‐Anatolian continental collision.

“…Through time, a series of Plio Pleistocene open marine sections outcropping in Southern Italy and considered of great significance for the chronostratigraphy of the Quaternary period (i.e., Monte San Nicola, Vrica, Montalbano Jonico and Fronte sections), were analyzed for the ostracod fauna to improve paleoenvironmental reconstructions (Colalongo and Pasini, 1980;Aiello et al, 2000Aiello et al, , 2015Amorosi et al, 2014b). Changes in paleobathymetry and dissolved oxygen/food availability are likely to represent the main drivers of the ostracod turnover in these sections (e.g., Aiello et al, 2015;Marino et al, 2015;Negri et al, 2015).

“…However, the relationship existing between abundances of extant ostracod species and the major abiotic marine parameters, such as bathymetry, substrate granulometry, per centage of organic matter and dissolved oxygen, is far to be quantified or, especially for extinct species, poorly investigated. For the latter species (e.g., A. cimbaeformis, Cytherella gibba and Cytherella robusta among the most common in the VdM dataset) only indirect ecological inferences can be employed (Aiello et al, 2015). Hence, further pa leoenvironmental information were provided by comparing our data with those recorded within other Mediterranean shelf successions of late Quaternary age (Barra, 1991;Faranda et al, 2007;Aiello et al, 2012Aiello et al, , 2015Sciuto and Meli, 2015) and those obtained from macro benthic samples previously collected along VdM section (Scarponi et al, 2014).…”

The Valle di Manche (VdM) section (Calabria, Southern Italy) offers the opportunity to investigate the ostracod turnover along a continuous shelf succession straddling the Early-Middle Pleistocene boundary, and compare it against other paleoenvironmental (i.e., mollusks) and paleoclimatic (Uvigerina peregrina δ 18 O) records. Highresolution (ca. 1 sample/m) ostracod fauna quantitative data, coupled with gradient analysis (Detrended Correspondence Analysis and non-Metric Multi-Dimensional Scaling), document a strong relationship between changes in faunal composition and lithofacies vertical stacking patterns. The comparison between the molluskand ostracod-derived ordination data demonstrates that the meio-and macro-faunal turnover is guided by a common complex gradient: bathymetry. The integrated ostracod-mollusk gradient analysis also provides a trend in water depths along the section, highlighting to what extent such multivariate approach can improve the paleoenvironmental and sequence stratigraphic interpretation of ancient shallow marine successions. When plotted stratigraphically, ordination major axis sample scores reveal two increasing-decreasing patterns in water depth that fit well with the T-R cycles previously identified. Paleobathymetric estimates combined with the vertical distribution of key ostracod groups (i.e., epiphytic taxa on sandy substrates vs. deep-sea mud related taxa) allow refining depositional trends, stratal stacking patterns and position of previously not well resolved sequence stratigraphic surfaces within each T-R cycle (e.g., Transgressive Surface-TS). Indeed, two rapid in-creases in water depth values mark the TSs that separate shallowing-upward, progradational (RST) from dee-pening upward, retrogradational (TST) stratal stacking patterns of shelf deposits. The TSs, which underline fine-grained successions dominated by deep-sea mud-lover taxa, are invariably constrained to the inception of in-terglacials Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 21 and 19, identified within the VdM section by benthic foraminifera δ 18 O values. Within both the VdM T-R cycles, the deepest conditions (ca. 140 m of water depth) are invariably identified within the Neopycnodonte unit, slightly above the lightest δ 18 O intervals. The overlying decreasing bathymetric trend, coupled with shifts in ostracod ecological groups, allows to identify in the bryozoans li-thofacies the stillstand+falling of the relative sea-level, also tracked by a progressively heavier δ 18 O record. More stable paleobathymetric conditions (around 40-45 m of water depth) characterize the overlying silt-sand deposits dominated by epiphytic species and showing the heaviest δ 18 O values.

Late glacial and Holocene Ostracoda from the Melilla cold-water coral mound field

The ostracod assemblages from sediment core TTR17-401G recovered from the Melilla cold-water coral mound field in the eastern Alboran Sea spanning the last 13 ka are analysed quantitatively, taxonomically and palaeoecologically. The core can be subdivided in three distinct assemblages linked to environmental shifts during the Younger Dryas and the Bølling-Allerød interstadial. A total of 9 ostracod species is recorded, Paracypris polita is dominant throughout the core. Common accessory taxa Cytherella robusta, Echinocythereis vidua and Macromckenziea ligustica characterize the well-oxygenated ostracod assemblage 2 affected by the Younger Dryas. Favourable growth conditions for ostracods during the latter are indicated by large-sized Krithe praetexta specimens.
