Paleocene–Eocene palaeoenvironmental conditions of the main phosphorite deposits (Chouabine Formation) in the Gafsa Basin, Tunisia

Kocsis, László ; Ounis, Anouar ; Baumgartner, Claudia ; Pirkenseer, Claudius ; Harding, Ian C. ; Adatte, Thierry ; Chaabani, Fredj ; Neili, Salah Mohamed

In: Journal of African Earth Sciences, 2014, vol. 100, p. 586–597

A detailed sedimentary section of the marine Chouabine Formation in the palaeogeographic Gafsa Basin, south-western Tunisia, was investigated in order to characterize environmental and depositional conditions focusing on the interval that spans the Paleocene–Eocene transition. We did stable isotope analyses of bulk sediments. Both phosphorite and carbonate yielded relatively similar isotopic...

A new Late Agenian (MN2a, Early Miocene) fossil assemblage from Wallenried (Molasse Basin, Canton Fribourg, Switzerland)

Mennecart, Bastien ; Yerly, Bertrand ; Mojon, Pierre-Olivier ; Angelone, Chiara ; Maridet, Olivier ; Böhme, Madelaine ; Pirkenseer, Claudius

In: Paläontologische Zeitschrift, 2016, vol. 90, p. 101-123

Excavations of two fossiliferous layers in the Wallenried sand- and marl pit produced a very diversified vertebrate fauna. New material allows the reassessment of the taxonomic position of the ruminant taxa Andegameryx andegaviensis and endemic Friburgomeryx wallenriedensis. An emended diagnosis for the second species is provided and additional material of large and small mammals, as well as...

Sédimentologie et paléontologie des paléoenvironnements côtiers rupéliens de la Molasse marine rhénane dans le Jura suisse

Picot, Laurent ; Becker, Damien ; Cavin, Lionel ; Pirkenseer, Claudius ; Lapaire, Frédéric ; Rauber, Gaëtan ; Hochuli, Peter A. ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Berger, Jean-Pierre

In: Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2008, vol. 101, no. 2, p. 483-513

Les dépôts oligocènes marins, situés dans la partie distale du bassin molassique suisse et dans le prolongement sud du fossé rhénan, sont constitués par les groupes stratigraphiques suivants: les Conglomérats de Porrentruy, le Septarienton et le Meeressand. Cette série sédimentaire a fait l’objet d’études stratigraphiques, sédimentologiques et paléontologiques détaillées. Trois...

New skeleton from the early Oligocene of Germany indicates a stem-group position of diomedeoidid birds

De Pietri, Vanesa L. ; Berger, Jean-Pierre ; Pirkenseer, Claudius ; Scherler, Laureline ; Mayr, Gerald

In: Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2010, vol. 55, no. 1, p. 23-34

We report a new specimen of the extinct procellariiform species Diomedeoides brodkorbi (Aves, Diomedeoididae) from the early Oligocene (Rupelian) of Rheinweiler in southwestern Germany. The well−preserved partial skeleton allows the recognition and reassessment of new osteological details that bear on the phylogenetic affinities of diomedeoidids. The presence on the coracoid of a deeply...

The position of the Rupelian/Chattian boundary in the southern Upper Rhine Graben based on new records of microfossils

Pirkenseer, Claudius ; Berger, Jean-Pierre ; Reichenbacher, Bettina

In: Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2013, vol. 106, no. 2, p. 291–301

This study analyses the regressive phase of the marine Froidefontaine Subgroup and the subsequent fluvio-lacustrine Niederroedern formation in the southern Upper Rhine Graben during the Late Rupelian and the position of the Rupelian/Chattian boundary. The study is based on the sedimentary record and several microfossil groups from two boreholes, with a focus on new records of fish otoliths,...

Reworked microfossils as a paleogeographic tool

Pirkenseer, Claudius ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Berger, Jean-Pierre

In: Geology, 2011, vol. 39, no. 9, p. 843-846

The abundant occurrence of reworked microfossils within the paleogeographically restricted Upper Rhine Graben of central Europe represents a unique opportunity to investigate their inherent information, allowing new insights into the paleogeographic framework and past sedimentary pathways. In the late Rupelian and early Chattian a transgression-regression cycle linked to the global Ru2–Ru3...
