together several disparate lines of evidence for large-scale, mid-Pleistocene lakes in the Western Desert of Egypt. Prior
research has revealed little surface indications of the former pluvial periods that have been documented by archaeological
sites, radar detected fluvial channels, and numerous radiometric dates. However, fluvial and lacustrine sediments, fossil
fish, and widespread chert lag deposits all point to lacustrine environments, usually interpreted as isolated lakes fed by
groundwater. At Bir Tarfawi, 400 km west of the Nile, SRTM data indicate that fossil fish of the last interglacial occur at the
same elevation as the termination of shallow surface runoff channels north of Selima Oasis in Sudan. Stepwise infilling of
the present topography suggests an extensive lake at an elevation of ~250 m ASL that accounts for both features. This
lake extended more than 300 km south to north from the Sudan border to Kharga Oasis, and covered an area of 68,000 km2.
A lower lake level at ~190 m coincides with the elevation of the connection with the Nile valley through Wadi Tushka, and
with the transition from topographically higher Paleolithic sites to lower Neolithic sites in the Kiseiba region. The timing of
these mid- to late-Pleistocene lakes coincides with the change in drainage direction of southern Egypt. From late Tertiary
to mid Pleistocene, drainage from the Eastern Desert was to the south through Wadi Qena and the ancestral Nile valley,
and to the west across the Kiseiba-Tushka depression. Starting in the mid Pleistocene, the African connection with the
Mediterranean was established, either by headward erosion of the Nile, or by overflow of extensive lakes in Sudan. Timing
of the lakes relative to Nile evolution is not well constrained. The upper part of the Dandara Formation in the Nile Valley
has been dated at 213 ± 14 ky, indicating that throughgoing Nile drainage was established at least by that time (and
probably earlier). The fish at Bir Tarfawi are preserved in lacustrine sediments dated to the last interglacial, ~125 ky,
indicating that sporadic flooding of these mega-lakes was occurring throughout the time the Nile was initiating northward
drainage.

AMPHICYONID REMAINS FROM LIBYA, EGYPT, EAST AFRICA AND NAMIBIA :

Carnivores are often useful for intercontiental correlations because they tend to have vast species ranges, and
some lineages evolved rapidly. Amphicyonids are medium-sized to large bear-dogs that ranged widely in North America,
Eurasia and Africa, during the Miocene and they are therefore of potential use for biochronology. The continental strata at
Gebel Zelten, Libya, and Wadi Moghra, Egypt, have yielded amphicyonids. Some of the material is similar to basal Middle
Miocene fossils from Namibia, but most of it differs from Early Miocene specimens from Kenya and Uganda, suggesting
that the Gebel Zelten and Wadi Moghra deposits from which the amphicyonid fossils were collected are younger than
Napak, Uganda (18.5-20 Ma) and Rusinga, Kenya (ca 17.8 Ma) and closer in age to Arrisdrift, Namibia (ca 17 – 17.5 Ma). We
describe well preserved fossils collected at Gebel Zelten by R.J.G. Savage in the 1960’s, which throw light on the species
Afrocyon burolleti, the type and hitherto only known specimen of which was an eroded mandible with damaged teeth, a fact
which hindered proper comparison to other amphicyonids. We agree with Camille Arambourg, who erected the genus and
species, that Afrocyon buroletti differs from most other amphicyonids, such as Amphicyon and Cynelos, by its more
sectorial lower cheek dentition which approaches it to more hypercarnivorous lineages such as Ysengrinia. It differs from
Ysengrinia, however, by the morphology of the p/3 (reduced in Ysengrinia) and its more hypercarnivorous dentition.

LAGOONARY, INTERTIDAL FLAT TO SABKHA MARGINAL CARBONATE PLATFORM FACIES TYPES IN THE CENOMANIAN
(UPPER CRETACEOUS) OF CROATIA AND ITS IMPORTANCE FOR RECONSTRUCTIONS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN TETHYS
BASIN PALAEOGEOGRAPHY – MIGRATION ISLAND ZONES FOR GIANT DINOSAURS EXCHANGES BETWEEN NORTHERN
AFRICA AND SOUTHERN EUROPE
C.G. Diedrich
Paleologic, Nansenstr. 8, D-33790 Halle/Westph., Germany
The Upper Cenomanian was of interest of several investigations, especially in Europe but also northern Africa, where this
period in the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary was called OAE II (= oceanic anoxic event II: Ernst et al. 1983) in which isotope
anomaly studies were used for correlations and palaeoclimatic interpretations (e.g. Arthur 1987, Peryt and Wyrwicka 1993,
Robaszynski et al. 1993, Paul et al. 1994, Accarie 1996, Diedrich 2001). Those studies generally focussed on full marine Basin
(Anglo-Paris Basin, Northsea Basin etc.) environments, whereas in Croatia this period is studied here, on the margin of the
shallow Mediterranean Carbonate Platform of the northern Tethys Ocean (cf. Juignet 1978, Gušic and Jelaska 1993) being similar
to Northern Africa (e.g. Tunisie: Accarie et al. 1996). In Croatia the Cenomanian and especially the OAE II event and facies was
studied preliminary (Jelaska and Jelaska 1993, Jenkyns 1991), whereas here a new or extended stratigraphy, palaeoenvironment
model of the Cenomanian the OAE II can be presented. From the “platy limestones” a famous fish and reptile fauna of “Lessina”
was described historically by Bassani (1879) or Nopcsa (1908) dated in former times into the Middle to Upper Cenomanian
(Langer 1961).
The subdivision of a 250 thick Cenomanian carbonate series is revised here and new Member names are added after
Diedrich (in review). The “Vrboska Member” consists mainly of subtidal fossil detritus-rich and thick carbonate beds, and is most
probably of Early Cenomanian age. The following new presented “Lessina Limestone Member” (Middle Cenomanian) consists of
a very changing sedimentology with many well developed transgressive and fining up cycles. Here the first series of platy
limestones are present. The third Member is the new distinguished “Meslinica Bay Biolaminate Member”, which is dominated by
intertidal biolaminates, several stromatolithic and stromatolite layers, anhydrites and a single thin chert bed (Chert Bed I). This
member seems to be of late Middle Cenomaian age. The fourth member is the “Platy Limestone Member”, which is dominated by
the typical platy and thick bedded “platy limestones”, and three main and more massive chert beds. Those platy limestones
between the chert beds II-IV seem to be the main fossil layers for the vertebrate remains, described in historical times (cf. Bassani
1879, Nopcsa 1908, Leonardi 1966). Therefore dating of the vertebrate fauna of “the vertebrate fossil bearing platy limestones of
Lessina” can be given here as Late Cenomanian (probably lower Upper Cenomanian).
The Cenomanian carbonates are well exposed along the northern coastline of the Island of Hvar between Vrboska and
Basina northeast of Starigrad and were studied first by Hemleben and Freels (1977) in their stratigraphy, sedimentology and fossil
content with the focus on the palaeoenvironment. This has been briefly revised especially within the unknown sabkha to intertidal
Sedimentology and first new facies models (cf. Diedrich 2005b). New Upper Cretaceous Cenomanian sedimentological, geological
and National Geographic dinosaur track prospections on the north-western coast of the Mediterranean Island of Hvar in southwestern Croatia (South Europe) yielded dinosaur tracks (Diedrich 2005b), giant clam/rudist patch reefs (Diedrich, 2010) and a nondiverse shallow marine restricted benthic fauna in the Cenomanian. Those finds of a marine benthic macrofauna, and large reef
structures are recently partly described (Diedrich 2010), whereas all geological/palaeontological results are planned to be
published in more detail (Diedrich in review). Those will include a high resolution stratigraphy, carbonate sedimentology,
palaeocommmunities and actualistic palaeoenvironment analysis of the Cenomanian of the Island of Hvar (Croatia) and new
facies models comparable to modern Arabian Gulf coast (cf. Knaust 1997, Evans and Kirkham 2001, Diedrich 2005a, in review:
Fig. 1) and Western Australian Shark Bay sabkha to lagoon environments (cf. Bauld 1984, Macintyre et al. 1996), but also to the
Jurassic platy limestones and sponge reefs of the Kimmeridgian lagoons of southern Germany with its famous vertebrate and
invertebrate remains (e.g. Keupp 1976, Frickhinger 1999). The Cenomanian is built of different sediments of facies types ranging
from the anhydrite dominated upper sabkha over biolaminite rich intertidal flat to the shallow restricted hypersaline lagoons with
bivalve patch reefs and intercalated platy limestones. During the Middle to Late Cenomanian the studied area was under
permanently changing flat carbonate ramp coastal facies with sabkha and interdital dominated with lagoons surrounded and
extended flat islands in the Mediterranean. On their beaches dinosaurs could migrate from northern Africa to southern Europe,
hereby they left in Croatia their footprints at several places (Dalla Vecchia et al. 2001, Diedrich 2005b). The shallow marine
restricted lagoon palaeoenvironment had a non-diverse benthic bivalve dominated macrofauna assemblage which built mainly
bivalve rudist (cf. Moro 1997) patch reefs. In those lagoons the worlds oldest records of Tridacna reef clams are reported from
larger patch reef structures indicating warm water temperatures (Diedrich 2010). Those giant clam/rudist patch reefs built benthic
islands with other small oysters and spondylids or pectinids in which a large amount of monofaunistic small regular reef adapted
echinids lived (Diedrich 2010). Between those patch reefs the platy limestone facies with its chert nodule layers (Diedrich in
review) was under hypersaline and anoxic conditions. Those Late Cenomanian chert nodules with its unclear genesis were even
mined by Late Neolithic flint explorers (Diedrich 2009). Therefore only two different macroalgae, the hypersaline adapted
Thaumatoporella and a large branched unknown form settled. In this lagoon facies only vertebrate nectonts are represented with
shallow water fish assemblage excluding full marine sharks (cf. Bassani 1882, Leonardi 1966). Finally aigialosaur and early snake
reptiles were found (cf. Nopcsa 1908, Pierce, Carroll and Debraga 1992, Pierce and Caldwell 2004). Their vertebrate skeleton
articulations prove again, restricted bottom conditions in a lagoon on the northern Mediterranean Carbonate Platform and extend
the former knowledge (cf. Juignet 1978, Philip et al. 1993) of the palaeogeography .
