Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) was a climate shift from a largely ice-free
greenhouse world to an icehouse climate, involving the first major glaciation of Antarctica …

We have constructed a magnetic polarity time scale for the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic
based on an analysis of marine magnetic profiles from the world's ocean basins. This is the …

New biostratigraphic investigations on deep sea cores and outcrop sections have revealed
several shortcomings in currently used tropical to subtropical Eocene planktonic …

Confusion has arisen over the connotation and correlation of two competing tropical-
subtropical Paleogene planktonic foraminiferal zonations (Berggren 1969; Blow 1979). This …

A vast shallow epicontinental sea extended across Eurasia and was well-connected to the
Western Tethys before it retreated westward and became isolated as the Paratethys Sea …

By measuring the direction and intensity of magnetism in rocks of different ages, a record of
the Earth's magnetic field in the past can be obtained. This book deals with the particular …

We integrate upper Eocene–lower Oligocene lithostratigraphic, magnetostratigraphic,
biostratigraphic, stable isotopic, benthic foraminiferal faunal, downhole log, and sequence …

Reconstruction of Atlantic Ocean vertical and meridional water characteristics is based on
combined synoptic fossil census data, stable isotope records, and measurements of …

Abstract The Eocene-Oligocene transition (between ca. 34 and 33.5 Ma) is the most
profound episode of lasting global change to have occurred since the end of the …

A diverse array of fossil, geochemical and sedimentary data shows patterns of major change
at or near the Eocene–Oligocene boundary, indicating a period of fundamental climatic and …
