摘要：

The Middle Miocene climatic cooling (MCC) is a global event recorded synchronously in the marine and continental realms by several geo- and bioindicators around 15-13.5 Ma. The temporal distribution of European plants and ectothermic vertebrates indicates a similar response to the MCC around 15-13.5 Ma. According to the existing Correlations of the European mammalian biochronological time scale to the Geomagnetic Polarity Time Scale (GPTS), a cenogram analysis revealed an important reorganisation of the Middle Miocene European terrestrial mammalian faunas that seems to take place later, around 11.5-11 Ma. This discrepancy between the timing of faunal changes can be solved by considering the recent biochronological and m agn etostrati graph i c data leading to reinterpretations of the debated ages of several Middle Miocene localities that need to be placed before the MCC event.
