We investigated the effect of different pre-treatment methods and the duration of the hydrogen fluoride treatment on enamel samples from skeletal phosphate with known δ 18 O values. The samples had been measured previously, so we could compare the ratios measured in our laboratory with the previous values to choose the best chemical preparation procedure. Four pre-soaking methods and two different time intervals of 2 mol dm −3 hydrogen fluoride treatment were compared during our experiments. In our experimental conditions, the distilled water wash and the 6 h of soaking in hydrogen fluoride gave the closest results to the expected δ -values. The steps of the tested preparation processes were repeated at least three times on each sample, so the reproducibility of the process could be also investigated.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1789-3348}, pages = {144-157}, orcid-numbers = {Szabó, Péter/0000-0003-0827-3583; Kovács, János/0000-0001-7742-5515} } @article{MTMT:33298845, title = {Bibliometric analysis of isotopic studies on Quaternary megafauna available in the Scopus database}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33298845}, author = {Franca, LDM. and Dantas, MAT. and Araújo-Júnior, HID}, doi = {10.1590/0001-3765202220211404}, journal-iso = {AN ACAD BRAS CIENC}, journal = {ANAIS DA ACADEMIA BRASILEIRA DE CIENCIAS}, volume = {94}, unique-id = {33298845}, issn = {0001-3765}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1678-2690}, orcid-numbers = {Franca, LDM./0000-0001-6307-6860; Dantas, MAT./0000-0002-9141-1643; Araújo-Júnior, HID/0000-0003-4371-0611} } @article{MTMT:32861079, title = {Pliocene - Early Pleistocene continental climate and vegetation in Europe based on stable isotope compositions of mammal tooth enamel}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32861079}, author = {Szabó, Péter and Kovács, János and Kocsis, L and Vennemann, T and Domingo, L and Újvári, Gábor and Halmai, Ákos and Pirkhoffer, Ervin and Codrea, V}, doi = {10.1016/j.quascirev.2022.107572}, journal-iso = {QUATERN SCI REV}, journal = {QUATERNARY SCIENCE REVIEWS}, volume = {288}, unique-id = {32861079}, issn = {0277-3791}, abstract = {There is an increasing need for paleoclimate records from continental settings to better understand the climatic changes during critical periods such as the Pliocene and Early Pleistocene. Present data indicates a transition from a warmer than present-day climate to a substantially different cooler climate. This study reviews the oxygen and carbon isotope compositions of mammalian tooth enamel for the Pliocene and Early Pleistocene of South and Central Europe to reconstruct the spatial distribution and temporal changes of the vegetation and oxygen isotope composition of precipitation (d18Oppt). In addition to a literature review, this study adds new stable isotope measurements for this period. All d13C values indicate C3 ecosystems and reflect major changes in the water use efficiency and/or in the prevailing humidity. The reconstructed major floral types range from woodland to woodland ‒ mesic grassland in all of the investigated regions. The carbon isotope compositions of fossil mammal teeth demonstrate that the spatial distribution of vegetation was broadly similar to those of the present-day for the Early/Late Pliocene e Early Pleistocene, with the most “closed” vegetation in Central and Northern Italy, while open mesic grassland vegetation covers can be reconstructed for the Iberian Peninsula, Massif Central region (Central France) and the Carpathian Basin. The calculated d18Oppt values give a negative temporal shift of about 1e1.5‰ from the Early Pliocene to Late Pliocene e Early Pleistocene in three regions (Iberian Peninsula, Central Italy, Carpathian Basin), potentially representing a 1.5e3.0 C decrease in mean annual temperatures (MAT) over time. In the Massif Central region and the Carpathian Basin, the d18Oppt values are almost the same for the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene, while in Northern Italy the values decreased over that period. The d18Oppt values are in the range of present-day d18Oppt values over the Early Pliocene and somewhat lower than present-day values for the Late Pliocene - Early Pleistocene in most of the regions. Because most other proxies indicate warmer than present-day climate for the Early Pliocene and similar to present-day climate for the Early Pleistocene, the d18Oppt values are generally lower than expected, which can be partially explained by local effects.}, keywords = {Central Europe; paleoclimate; South Europe; vertebrate fossils}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1873-457X}, orcid-numbers = {Szabó, Péter/0000-0003-0827-3583; Kovács, János/0000-0001-7742-5515; Kocsis, L/0000-0003-4613-1850; Domingo, L/0000-0002-9062-0881; Újvári, Gábor/0000-0002-2816-6155; Halmai, Ákos/0000-0001-5722-8119} } @article{MTMT:32032724, title = {Multiproxy paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Early Pleistocene sites from the Olteţ River Valley of Romania}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32032724}, author = {Curran, S and Terhune, C and Croitor, R and Drăgușin, V and Fox, DL. and Garrett, N and Ironside, LB. and Petculescu, A and Pobiner, B and Robinson, C and Robu, M and Tanţău, I and Ungar, P}, doi = {10.1016/j.palaeo.2021.110445}, journal-iso = {PALAEOGEOGR PALAEOCL}, journal = {PALAEOGEOGRAPHY PALAEOCLIMATOLOGY PALAEOECOLOGY}, volume = {574}, unique-id = {32032724}, issn = {0031-0182}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1872-616X} } @article{MTMT:31811398, title = {Browsers, grazers or mix-feeders?

Interpreting this site, however, is contingent on understanding the environment Pleistocene animals lived in and how they interacted with that environment behaviorally. Actualistic studies of modern analogs can be used to better understand the behavior and geographic range of a Pleistocene animal and thus increase their usefulness as paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental indicators. Mass and thermal modeling studies done on modern tortoises have been used to determine the temperature tolerance of the giant tortoise species of central Texas, constraining the climate present at WMNM during its formation. Understanding the long-term movements of a fossil organism can reflect the environment it lives in. Strontium isotope ratio analysis of megafaunal teeth from WMNM have shown that not all of the mammoths at the site shared a geographic origin. The behavior revealed–mammoths congregated at WMNM from a wide area–necessitated a reconsideration of the long-standing mechanism of death for the megafauna there. Serial analysis of carbon and oxygen isotopes from the same teeth revealed that while the animals at WMNM shared a diet, some may have had distinct sources of drinking water. They also reveal that the WMNM megafauna lived in a drier, more drought-prone world that previously thought. Taking a multi-proxy approach to better understand interactions between Pleistocene megafauna and the environmental changes they experienced should inform our attempts to conserve our remaining megafauna.}, keywords = {PLEISTOCENE; paleoclimate; paleontology; Stable Isotope; paleoecology; Megafauna; tortoise; Mammuthus; Paleoclimate science; 0426:Paleoecology; 0653:Paleoclimate Science; 0418:Paleontology}, year = {2019}, pages = {120} } @article{MTMT:31082976, title = {Stephanorhinus jeanvireti (Mammalia, Rhinocerotidae) from the early Pleistocene of Coltesti (southwestern Romania)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31082976}, author = {Pandolfi, L and Codrea, VA. and Popescu, A}, doi = {10.1016/j.crpv.2019.01.004}, journal-iso = {CR PALEVOL}, journal = {COMPTES RENDUS PALEVOL}, volume = {18}, unique-id = {31082976}, issn = {1631-0683}, abstract = {The Rhinocerotidae material from the early Pleistocene Tetoiu Formation of Coltesti (south-western Romania) is here described for the first time.

The morphology and the dimensions of these specimens enable us to record the presence of Stephanorhinus jeanvireti, a relatively rare rhinoceros usually reported from late Pliocene European localities and recently considered a junior synonym of S. elatus. Nevertheless, the taxon Rhinoceros elatus is here regarded as a nomen dubium and the name S. jeanvireti is retained in order to maintain nomenclatural stability, being it based on much more diagnostic material. In Romania, S. jeanvireti has been listed within a few late Pliocene faunal assemblages, but the rhinoceros remains are fragmentary and isolated bones. The Coltesti find is among the best documented records of S. jeanvireti in Romania. The biochronological distribution of S. jeanvireti is mainly confined within the MNQ16 (early and early middle Villafranchian), and its first occurrence is doubtfully reported in late MNQ15 faunas.
