Subdivision of the Neogene Period according to the ICS , as of 2017 [ 1 ] The Early Miocene (also known as Lower Miocene ) is a sub-epoch of the Miocene Epoch made up of two stages : the Aquitanian and Burdigalian stages.
The Aquitanian Stage was named after the Aquitaine region in France and was introduced in scientific literature by Swiss stratigrapher Karl Mayer-Eymar in 1858.. The base of the Aquitanian (also the base of the Miocene Series and the Neogene System) is defined as the place in the stratigraphic column at the first appearance of foram species Paragloborotalia kugleri, the extinction of ...
