that deformation occurred above 350 °C.
Dating of detrital zircons from Lesser
Himalayan Sequence metasedimentary
units, and igneous zircons from schistose
gneisses throughout the Lesser Himalayan
Sequence allow refinements to
the stratigraphic framework. First, unlike
what has been observed in western Nepal
immediately west of our study area,
U-Pb zircon dating suggests the absence
of Paleoproterozoic strata in the
Ramgarh Thrust hanging wall. This suggests
that the thrust cuts upsection laterally
along strike. Second, U-Pb detrital
zircon dating suggests that metasedimentary
strata in the Ramgarh Thrust hanging
wall are correlative with basal units
of the Outer Lesser Himalayan Sequence,
removing the necessity that the
Ramgarh Thrust hanging wall was allochthonous
with respect to its footwall
Lesser Himalayan Sequence units.
Schistose gneisses with U-Pb ages of ca.
1850 Ma are older than Lesser Himalayan
Sequence units in the area, suggesting
that they are Lesser Himalayan Sequence
basement. We conclude that the
Ramgarh Thrust is an out-of-sequence
thrust postdating a folding event in its
footwall. The earlier proposal that Neoproterozoic-Cambrian
Lesser Himalayan
Sequence strata are the southern extension
of the Tethyan Himalayan Sequence
requires that the Tons Thrust, which
separates the distal and proximal facies
of the Lesser Himalayan Sequence, be a
major, south-directed structure with a
slip magnitude of >50–100 km.

Sandelzhausen in southern Germany
ranks among the most important Neogene
fossil terrestrial localities in Europe,
due to its exceptional record of both
macro- and microvertebrates as well as
invertebrates. From its discovery in
1959 until its final closure in 2001, the
site has been the subject of two longterm,
systemaic digging campaigns as
well as occasional collecting by the
Ludwig-Maximilians Universitat together
with the Bayerische Staatssammlung
fur palaontologie und Geologie.
In addition to a few plant remains a
fossil fauna comprising more than 200
taxa and 50,000 identifiable specimens
has been collected including ostracods,
molluscs, and, especially, vertebrates of
all groups, with an emphasis on mammals.

Geomorphological evidence for Pleistocene
glaciation has been mapped in
the Pindus Mountains of northwest
Greece, and the chronology of glaciation
in this area has been established through
soil profile analysis and U-series dating
of secondary carbonates (calcite) formed
within glacial deposits. Three glacial
stages are evident in the sedimentological
and geomorphological records. The
earliest and most extensive recorded
glaciation predates 350,000 yr B. P. and
was characterized by extensive valley
glaciers and ice fields. A more recent
glaciation occurred before the last interglacial
and was characterized by glaciers
that reached midvalley positions. The
last phase of glaciation in Greece is recorded
by small cirque glacier moraines
and relict periglacial rock glaciers. The
glacial and periglacial sequence on
Mount Tymphi has been used in conjunction
with a reference parastratotype,
the long lacustrine sequence at Ioannina,
