ABSTRACT The early–middle Miocene represents a key step in the Cenozoic global climate evolution. It is characterized by the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO, 17 -15 Ma), followed by a thermal decrease during the Middle Miocene Climate Transition (MMCT, 15 - 14 Ma) culminating in the marked Mi3...
