A refined age for the earliest opening of Bering Strait
Title
A refined age for the earliest opening of Bering Strait.
Creator
Oleinik, Anton E., Gladenkov, Andrey Yu, Marincovich, Louie, Jr., Barinov, Konstantin B.
Abstract/Description
Biostratigraphically and chronostratigraphically important diatoms from the Milky River Formation, Alaska Peninsula, southwestern Alaska, imply an age range of 5.4-5.5 Ma for the oldest North Pacific Cenozoic occurrence of the marine bivalve mollusk Astarte, which migrated from the Arctic Ocean into the North Pacific when Bering Strait first flooded. The data presented here are a refinement of the age range of 4.8-5.5 Ma reported earlier and imply that Bering Strait first opened very near the...

New occurrences of Fortipecten hallae (Dall, 1921) (Mollusca, Bivalvia) in the Pliocene of the North Pacific

New occurrences of Fortipecten hallae (Dall, 1921) (Mollusca, Bivalvia) in the Pliocene of the North Pacific.
Creator
Oleinik, Anton E., Barinov, Konstantin B., Marincovich, Louie, Jr.
Abstract/Description
The large North Pacific bivalve mollusk index-fossil Fortipecten hallae (Dall, 1921) is present in a well-dated stratigraphic section of the Milky River Formation, Alaska Peninsula, southwestern Alaska. Co-occurring marine diatoms belong to the upper part of the subzone B of the Neodenticula kamtschatica diatom zone of the North Pacific diatom chronostratigraphy, with an age range of 4.8–5.1 Ma (early Pliocene). Based on coeval occurrences in northeastern Kamchatka, Russia, and synchronous...

Co-occurring marine diatoms belong to the upper part of the subzone B of the Neodenticula kamtschatica diatom zone of the North Pacific diatom chronostratigraphy, with an age range of 4.8–5.1 Ma (early Pliocene). Based on coeval occurrences in northeastern Kamchatka, Russia, and synchronous changes in the two molluscan assemblages, F. hallae is a useful indicator of early Pliocene climatic warming along the high latitude North Pacific margin.

Magnitude of Middle Miocene warming in North Pacific high latitudes: stable isotope evidence from Kaneharaia (Bivalvia, Dosiniinae)
Title
Magnitude of Middle Miocene warming in North Pacific high latitudes: stable isotope evidence from Kaneharaia (Bivalvia, Dosiniinae).
Creator
Oleinik, Anton E., Marincovich, Louie, Jr., Barinov, Konstantin B., Swart, Peter K.
Abstract/Description
The Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO) at ~ 16 Ma was the warmest interval during the Neogene. The peak of the MMCO in the North Pacific is marked by the appearance of the bivalve genus Kaneharaia (Bivalvia, Dosiniinae) in the high-latitude regions of Kamchatka and Alaska (55 –65°N). Specimens of Kaneharaia sp. were collected from two early middle Miocene high-latitude localities in the North Pacific – the Sea urchin Horizon of northwestern Kamchatka and the Narrow Cape Formation of...

The peak of the MMCO in the North Pacific is marked by the appearance of the bivalve genus Kaneharaia (Bivalvia, Dosiniinae) in the high-latitude regions of Kamchatka and Alaska (55 –65°N). Specimens of Kaneharaia sp. were collected from two early middle Miocene high-latitude localities in the North Pacific – the Sea urchin Horizon of northwestern Kamchatka and the Narrow Cape Formation of Alaska. Middle Miocene Kaneharaia specimens were incrementally sampled for oxygen and carbon stable isotope records of seasonality. Results were compared with stable isotope profiles constructed for two Recent species of Dosinia from subtropical waters.
