TheAstarte(Bivalvia: Astartidae) that document the earliest opening of Bering Strait

Abstract: The presence of the bivalve mollusks Astarte (Tridonta) borealis Schumacher and A. (T.) hopkinsi new species, in uppermost Miocene or lower Pliocene strata of the Milky River Formation on the Alaska Peninsula, southwestern Alaska, signals the earliest opening of Bering Strait. These species migrated from the Arctic Ocean into the North Pacific when the Bering Strait first flooded and, along with co-occurring marine diatoms, are primary evidence for the earliest opening of the strait, in the latest Miocene or e… Show more

“…Asia and North America were directly connected during the entire Tertiary via the Bering Land Bridge. This connection was interrupted by the opening of the Bering Strait from Late Miocene to Pliocene (7.4 to 4.8 Ma ago; see Marincovich & al., 2002). However, given the position of the Bering Land Bridge at very high latitudes (65° today, and 70°-80° during the Tertiary; see ODSN, 1999), the presence of climatic limitations on migration of plants must be assumed.…”

“…These trans-Artic Plumularioidea colonizations were probably from the Atlantic to the Pacific (Figure 3), which contradicts the prevalent eastward gene flow direction assumed for most marine taxa (e.g., Briggs & Bowen, 2013;Durham & MacNeil, 1967;Marincovich & Gladenkov, 1999;Vermeij, 1991;Vermeij, 2004) but agrees with inferred mollusk colonizations and predominant southward currents through the Bering Strait when it opened ca. 5.5-4.8 Mya (Marincovich, 2000;Marincovich, Barinov, & Oleinik, 2002).…”

“…The first opening of the Bering Strait recently has been determined to have taken place at 5.5-5.4 Ma (Marincovich and Gladenkov, 1999;Marincovich et al, 2002;Gladenkov and Gladenkov, 2004). Afterwards, Pacific and Atlantic interchanges via the Bering Strait are recognized at 3.6 Ma and at 1.2-1.9 Ma (Marincovich, 2000;Marincovich et al, 2002).…”
