	abstract = {The fossil vertebrate fauna of Máriahalom contains remains from a wide range of ecologies including terrestrial and aquatic mammals, crocodiles, sharks, and rays among others. All these were found mixed in mollusc-rich, shallow water, coastal deposits. The aim of the study is to trace the origin of the fossils using their rare earth element (REE) content and their respective ecology with stable oxygen isotopic compositions. In addition, marine vertebrates and calcareous marine fossils were analysed for their Sr isotope composition to provide a new age estimate for the locality. The REE content and their distribution in the fossils indicate similar early diagenetic environments and possible contemporaneous fossilization for the entire vertebrate assemblage. Reworked fossils of significantly different age can be excluded. The enamel/enameloid-derived phosphate oxygen isotope composition of selected fossil taxa fit well with previously inferred habitats that include marine, brackish, and terrestrial environments. Notably, the stem-pinniped Potamotherium valletoni is best interpreted as freshwater dweller instead of marine, consistent with the sedimentology of other occurrences. Our novel 87 Sr/ 86 Sr data suggest an Aquitanian age (21.4 ± 0.5 Ma) for the Máriahalom site that is younger than the previously proposed Late Oligocene age based on biostratigraphy (MP28–30 European Mammal Paleogene Reference Levels). An Aquitanian age raises the possibility that the index fossil taxon, the anthracothere mammal Microbunodon minimum , may have vanished earlier in Western Europe than in the Central Paratethys region.},

On this occasion, we studied a lower Priabonian fish assemblage from the Leghia-Tabara area in Cluj County. Priabonian in Romania is a stage for which there are few data concerning fossil fish. Herein, it documented the occurrence of two orders of elasmobranchs (Lamniformes and Carcharhiniformes), one order of batoids (Myliobatiformes), and three other orders of actinopterygians (Istiophoriformes, Perciformes and Tetraodontiformes). Striatolamia tchelkarnurensis, a species formerly described solely from the Turgai Strait, is firstly reported outside of the region of its original description. Furthermore, noteworthy is the first record of the species Physogaleus alabamensis from Europe. This Palaeogene fish fauna from Leghia completes the regional and continental distributions, resulting in a more accurate understanding of palaeogeography and paleoenvironments.},

	abstract = {Herein, we report a small collection of isolated crocodilian teeth recovered from shallow marine Eocene deposits of Turnu Rosu (Porcesti), Romania. The teeth probably represent an attritional assemblage that could have belonged to several individuals of various sizes and ages, provided with heterodont dentition of at least five morphotypes (slender caniniform, triangular-lanceolate shaped, enlarged conical, slender conical, and low crowned). We assigned the isolated teeth to Gavialoidea based on a number of morphological characters shared with representatives of early gavialoids, known from the early-middle Eocene of western Europe or North Africa. The gavialoids from Turnu Rosu represent a new group for the Paleogene of Romania that probably reached the territory of southern Transylvania in the Middle Eocene. Possible scenarios for the origin of southern Transylvanian gavialoids imagine an existence of a western-eastern European route or a migration route direct from North Africa and an ancestor close to the morphology of Maroccosuchus from the region of western Tethys.},

	abstract = {Diplocynodon levantinicum Huene & Nikoloff, 1963 was described based on few bone fragments from the West-Maritsa lignite basin of Central Bulgaria. Huene & Nikoloff, 1963 assumed a late Pliocene age, implying that this species represents the stratigraphically youngest crocodilian of Europe. In this current study, we re-evaluate the stratigraphy of the West-Maritsa Basin and conclude a late Oligocene age of similar to 26 Ma for the Kipra coal-seam, the fossiliferous horizon. Furthermore, topotypical and undescribed D. levantinicum specimens are accessible now and allowed for a deeper taxonomic and phylogenetic analysis. A comparison with other Diplocynodon species reveals D. levantinicum as a valid species, having (1) a long suborbital fenestra, (2) a very short dentary symphysis, (3) a large gap between the first and second dentary alveolus, (4) an occlusion pit in line with the tooth row posterior to the 14th dentary alveolus, (5) a sulcus lateral to the glenoid fossa and, (6) a lingual foramen for the articular artery situated entirely on the surangular. The phylogenetic analyses find D. levantinicum deeply nested inside the Diplocynodontinae subfamily. After the disappearance of the Paratethyan influence (Solenovian regional stage) in the Upper Thrace Basin this species has roamed during the late Oligocene extensive freshwater lake and swamp ecosystems represented by the Maritsa Formation. Diplocynodon levantinicum represents the only nominal Diplocynodon taxon of late Oligocene (Chattian) age.},
