The work investigates the extensive freshwater lacustrine deposits of the Most Formation, which formed in the period between 17.7. Ma and ca. 15.9. Ma, in order to describe climate changes just before the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO). The Most Basin, an incipient rift within the European Cenozoic...
