“…This age is thus not as precise as the correlation of the Banovi ci rodent assemblage to top MP30/base MN1 (De Bruijn et al, 2013). The magnetostratigraphic dating of a lateral equivalent of the fossil-bearing level in an adjacent quarry indicates an age of 24 Ma (De Leeuw et al, 2011), which supports the correlation to MP30.

“…The rodent assemblage is best compared with localities attributed to the European MP30/MN1 small-mammal zones (De Bruijn et al, 2013). The magnetostratigraphic pattern of the section correlates to the C6Cr-C6Cn.2n interval of the GTS (Geological Time Scale), which indicates an age of around 24 Ma for the Banovi ci Basin infill (De Leeuw et al, 2011).…”

“…The Dinarides emerged from the Tethys Sea in the late Eocene to early Oligocene, and within the Dinarides intramontane basins were formed (De Leeuw et al, 2011). One of these basins is the Banovi ci Basin, which is situated in the northwestern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Fig.…”

“…The fossiliferous layer, a greenish clay that contains very thin layers of lignite, is situated just below the main coal seam in the Turija opencast mine near Banovi ci (De Bruijn et al, 2013). The geological setting of the Banovi ci Basin, with emphasis on the regional stratigraphic and regional paleogeographic development of the basin infill, has been described in detail in De Leeuw et al (2011).…”

“…The small-mammal fauna of Banovi ci from the late Oligocene of Bosnia and Herzegovina provides new information on the dynamics of mammal migrations between western Europe and Anatolia (De Leeuw et al, 2011;De Bruijn et al, 2013). The similarity between the rodent assemblage from Bosnia and Herzegovina and assemblages from Anatolia and western Europe indicates a selective and restricted faunal exchange between Anatolia and western Europe during the late Oligocene.…”

ABSTRACT-The insectivore and marsupial assemblage from the Banovi ci Basin (MP30/MN1, Bosnia and Herzegovina) provides, in addition to the Rodentia, a better understanding of the faunal exchange between Europe and Anatolia and the biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and paleobiogeographic interpretations of the area. The small and rather poorly preserved collection of fossil remains of insectivores and marsupials from Banovi ci includes three genera of Talpidae, three genera of Soricidae, one genus of Erinaceidae, one genus of Heterosoricidae, and one marsupial. At the genus level, this assemblage is a mix of genera known from the late Oligocene-early Miocene of Europe (MP29-MN3) and Anatolia (»MP30-MN3). The presence of the talpids Suleimania aff. ruemkae and Desmanodon aff. ziegleri indicates an age within the Oligocene/Miocene boundary interval (MP30/MN1), which is consonant with the age estimate based on the rodents and magnetostratigraphy. The diversity of Soricidae and the presence of Geotrypus indicate that the Banovi ci biotope was rather warm and humid during the late Oligocene.

Magnetic detection and characterization of biogenic magnetic minerals: A comparison of ferromagnetic resonance and first‐order reversal curve diagrams

Biogenic magnetic minerals produced by magnetotactic bacteria occur ubiquitously in natural aquatic environments. Their identification and characterization are important for interpretation of paleomagnetic and environmental magnetic records. We compare two magnetic methods for their identification and characterization in a diverse set of sedimentary environments: ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy and first-order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams, constrained by transmission electron microscope observations. The advantages and limitations of each method are evaluated. FMR analysis provides a strong diagnostic indicator because of its ability to detect the strong shape anisotropy that arises from the biogenic chain architecture, but it can be obscured in mixed magnetic mineral assemblages. We develop a new FMR fitting approach that enables separation and characterization of biogenic components in natural samples. FMR spectral fitting on magnetofossil-bearing samples does not always reveal a strong signature of biogenic magnetite with <111>-aligned chains, in contrast to whole magnetotactic bacteria cells. This indicates that strictly <111>-aligned chains are not as common in magnetofossil assemblages, due to either chain collapse or different crystallographic axis orientations. FORC analysis provides an excellent tool for isolating the biogenic component as a "central ridge" signature with peak switching field distribution between~20 and 60 mT. We also analyzed tuff samples with similar FMR characteristics to biogenic magnetite chains, which can cause ambiguity. We propose a magnetic protocol to improve the robustness and efficiency of biogenic magnetite identification and past microbial activity in a wide range of environments.

In the Early to Middle Miocene, the post‐orogenic intramontane lacustrine Sinj Basin that belonged to the Dinarides Lake System evolved in the area of the External Dinarides. A composite 770 m thick stratigraphic column was measured spanning the basin's stratigraphy. Eight facies were differentiated. Four facies are almost entirely composed of freshwater carbonate deposits. Carbonate facies are divided into calcareous mudstone, charophytic micritic limestone, calcisiltite and coquina facies. They are interpreted to belong to a prograding carbonate bench on a gently inclined lake margin. In addition, tuff/clays, carbonate conglomerate, carbonate breccia and coal were differentiated. The tuff/clays are the result of remote volcanic eruptions, while the coarse‐grained sediments belong to subaqueous shallow stream channels or were deposited by gravity flows. The coal at the top of the measured succession, mostly of allochthonous origin, was deposited as a fen forest peat, representing the final stage of the lake. The formation of the Sinj Basin might have been triggered by dissolution of Permo‐Triassic evaporites, within the mostly carbonate basement but also by breakdown and collapse of Mesozoic and Palaeogene carbonate rocks and coalescence of contiguous sinkholes. The non‐tectonic interpretation of the basin genesis is a novel hypothesis explaining the origin of one of the Dinarides intramontane basins and is in contrast to previous considerations that evolution of the Sinj Basin was controlled by strike‐slip or extensional tectonics.
