Middle Miocene  

Définition

  • The Middle Miocene is a sub-epoch of the Miocene Epoch made up of two stages : the Langhian and Serravallian stages. The Middle Miocene is preceded by the Early Miocene. The sub-epoch lasted from 15.97 ± 0.05 Ma to 11.608 ± 0.005 Ma (million years ago). During this period, a sharp drop in global temperatures took place. This event is known as the Middle Miocene Climate Transition. For the purpose of establishing European Land Mammal Ages this sub-epoch is equivalent to the Astaracian age.
