A brief marine incursion marks the early Oligocene in Europe.

Other than higher latitude temporary marine incursions associated with glacial depression, Holocene fossils are found primarily in lakebed, floodplain and cave deposits.

The origin of the raised nature of a roddon is debated; some writers suggest this is due to a silt build-up during marine incursion.

These have permanently changed the environment, and future marine incursions may not have the same effects as historical ones.

The sea level rise and temporary land depression allowed temporary marine incursions into areas that are now far from the sea.

The marine incursion, which was caused by the rising level of the Mediterranean, occurred around 7,600 years ago.

The site has two important fish beds and the assemblage is regarded as proof of a marine incursion within environments which are predominantly estuarine to fluvial.

Evidence of seawater influence suggest that the mineralization did not start until the Late Triassic marine incursion at the earliest.

The marginal marine incursions that occurred in the previous period increased in severity until Dorset was completely underwater.

Locally pseudomorphs of halite have been found and rarely marine microfossils (scolecodonts) indicating that the basin was affected by occasional marine incursions at this time.
