“…This lake development was probably an effect of more humid climate conditions following the onset of the Miocene climate optimum (Zachos et al 2001) coinciding with increased subsidence rates in the area which promoted together lake settlement throughout the region. In addition, the new age for the extensional tectonics of the SPB correlates exactly with the age of the initial extension and deposition in the intra-mountainous basins of the Dinaride Lake System dated currently in the Sinj Basin (De Leeuw et al 2010). The vast area of that system, stretching southwards across the Dinarides into the Outer Dinaride Foreland Basin on the Adriatic microplate, demonstrates the extended spatial range of Pannonian Basin extensional tectonics (De Leeuw et al 2010).…”

“…The biostratigraphic data from the SPB (Mytilopsis/dreissenid bivalves) indicate that its freshwater environments are closely related to the Dinaride Lake System that originated at the same time De Leeuw et al 2010). The southern margin of the Sava depression shows particularly high faunal similarity with the mollusk fauna of the Dinaride intra-mountainous basins (Kochansky-Devide (Harzhauser and Mandic 2008), these faunas are regarded to constitute an independent paleobiogeographic unit that we now term the Illyrian Bioprovince.…”

The Pannonian Basin, originating during the Early Miocene, is a large extensional basin incorporated between Alpine, Carpathian and Dinaride fold-thrust belts. Back-arc extensional tectonics triggered deposition of up to 500-m-thick continental fluvio-lacustrine deposits distributed in numerous sub-basins of the Southern Pannonian Basin. Extensive andesitic and dacitic volcanism accompanied the syn-rift deposition and caused a number of pyroclastic intercalations. Here, we analyze two volcanic ash layers located at the base and top of the continental series. The lowermost ash from Mt. Kalnik yielded an 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age of 18.07 ± 0.07 Ma. This indicates that the marine-continental transition in the Slovenia-Zagorje Basin, coinciding with the onset of rifting tectonics in the Southern Pannonian Basin, occurs roughly at the Eggenburgian/Ottnangian boundary of the regional Paratethys time scale. This age proves the synchronicity of initial rifting in the Southern Pannonian Basin with the beginning of sedimentation in the Dinaride Lake System. Beside geodynamic evolution, the two regions also share a biotic evolutionary history: both belong to the same ecoregion, which we designate here as the Illyrian Bioprovince. The youngest volcanic ash level is sampled at the Glina and Karlovac sub-depressions, and both sites yield the same 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age of 15.91 ± 0.06 and 16.03 ± 0.06 Ma, respectively. This indicates that lacustrine sedimentation in the Southern Pannonian Basin continued at least until the earliest Badenian. The present results provide not only important bench marks on duration of initial synrift in the Pannonian Basin System, but also deliver substantial backbone data for paleogeographic reconstructions in Central and Southeastern Europe around the Early-Middle Miocene transition.

This paper presents paleomagnetic results from the Miocene offshore Pag and the twin onshore (Drniš-Sinj) basins. Earlier magnetostratigrapic results were published from both basins, which documented that the lake sediments were good targets for paleomagnetism.From the Pag basin, we sampled the oldest and youngest segments of the 1200m long Crnika section and obtained statistically different paleomagnetic directions from the two parts.During a repeated visit to the section it was revealed that modern gravity-driven creeping can account for this, i.e. the results from the Pag basin should be rejected from regional tectonic interpretation.The overall-mean paleomagnetic direction for the Drniš-Sinj basin has excellent statistical parameters, its high quality is further supported by positive regional fold/tilt and reversal tests, based on seven geographically distributed localities. The results suggests 13-20° CCW rotation with respect to Africa and 21-27° with respect to stable Europe, during the last 15 million years. As the External Dinarides are the loci of a complicated network of Miocene and even younger tectonic zones, we can not export the observed rotation for the whole unit, but consider our results as one step in obtaining robust kinematic constraints for the post-Oligocene tectonic history of the External Dinarides.

Today's paleomagnetic and magnetic proxy studies involve processing of large sample collections while simultaneously demanding high quality data and high reproducibility. Here we describe a fully automated interface based on a commercial horizontal pass-through ''2G'' DC-SQUID magnetometer. This system is operational at the universities of Bremen (Germany) and Utrecht (Netherlands) since 1998 and 2006, respectively, while a system is currently being built at NGU Trondheim (Norway). The magnetometers are equipped with ''in-line'' alternating field (AF) demagnetization, a direct-current bias field coil along the coaxial AF demagnetization coil for the acquisition of anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM) and a long pulse-field coil for the acquisition of isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM). Samples are contained in dedicated low magnetization perspex holders that are manipulated by a pneumatic pick-and-place-unit. Upon desire samples can be measured in several positions considerably enhancing data quality in particular for magnetically weak samples. In the Bremen system, the peak of the IRM pulse fields is actively measured which reduces the discrepancy between the set field and the field that is actually applied. Techniques for quantifying and removing gyroremanent overprints and for measuring the viscosity of IRM further extend the range of applications of the system. Typically c. 300 paleomagnetic samples can be AF demagnetized per week (15 levels) in the three-position protocol. The versatility of the system is illustrated by several examples of paleomagnetic and rock magnetic data processing.
