European Neogene Marine/Continental Chronologic Correlations

  • Chapter
European Neogene Mammal Chronology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 180))

Zusammenfassung

Eine Korrelationstabelle für das Neogen zwischen Magnetostratigraphie und marinen Planktonzonierungen, den in Verwendung stehenden Mediterranen- und Zentralen Paratethys-Stufen, den Pollenzonierungen, aber vor allem den SäugetierFaunenzonen und Fauneneinheiten sowie neu vorgeschlagener kontinentaler chronostratigraphischer Stufen wird vorgelegt und im Text diskutiert. Eine Datenbank für die Korrelation der Säugetier-Zonierung ist angefügt. Die Grenzen der neogenen Säugetier-Faunen-Einheiten können nach dem derzeitigen Kenntnisstand wie folgt korreliert werden: Agenium/Orleanium (MN2b/MN3–Faunen-Zone) mit der Aquitan/ Burdigal-Grenze (NN1/NN2); Orleanium/Astaracium-Grenze (MN5/MN6) im Bereich der Burdigal/Langhe-Grenze (NN4/NN5); Astaracium/Vallesium-Grenze (MN8/MN9) im Bereich der Serravall/Torton-Grenze (in der NN9); Vallesium/Turolium-Grenze (MN10/MN11) im mittleren Torton (in der NN10); Turolium/Ruscinium-Grenze (MN13/MN14) mit der Messin/Zanclium-Grenze (in der NN12); Oberkante des Rusciniums (MN15/MN16) im Bereich des tieferen Piacenzium und die Oberkante der Säugetier-Faunenzone MN16 im Bereich des höheren Piacenzium, die SäugetierFaunenzone MN17 reicht in das tiefere Pleistozän.

Abstract

An updated correlation is given of the revised Neogene European mammal chronology with the Neogene marine chronology and the magnetic polarity time scale.

The boundary of the Agenian/Orleanian mammal-faunal units (boundary of MN2b/MN3 zones) correlates approximately with the Aquitanian/Burdigalian Stage (NN1/NN2) boundary. The Orleanian/Astaracian (MN5/MN6) boundary correlates approximately with the Burdigalian/Langhian Stage (NN4/NN5) boundary; the Astaracian/Vallesian (MN8/MN9) boundary correlates approximately with the Serravallian/Tortonian Stage boundary (within NN9); the Vallesian/Turolian (MN10/MN11) boundary occurs within the middle part of the Tortonian Stage (within NN10, resp. between CN8a and CN8b); the Turolian/Ruscinian (MN13/MN14) boundary coincides approximately with the Messinian/Zanclean Stage boundary and the upper boundary of the Ruscinian mammal faunal zones (MN15/MN16) correlate approximately within the Upper Pliocene (resp. the lower Piacenzian Stage). The upper limit of the MN17 mammal faunal zone occurs within the lowermost Pleistocene.
