Late Paleocene–early Eocene Tethyan carbonate platform evolution—a response to long-and short-term paleoclimatic change
C Scheibner, RP Speijer - Earth-science reviews, 2008 - Elsevier
The early Paleogene experienced the most pronounced long-term warming trend of the
Cenozoic, superimposed by transient warming events such as the Paleocene–Eocene …

Oxygen isotope stratigraphy
Variations in the 18 O/16 O ratio of marine fossils and microfossils record changes in
seawater 18 O/16 O and temperature and provide the basis for global correlation. Based on …

Increased seasonality through the Eocene to Oligocene transition in northern high latitudes
A profound global climate shift took place at the Eocene–Oligocene transition (∼ 33.5
million years ago) when Cretaceous/early Palaeogene greenhouse conditions gave way to …

Resetting Southern Tibet: The serious challenge of obtaining primary records of Paleoaltimetry
Over the last several decades a number of studies have attempted to reconstruct the rise of
the Himalaya and Tibet since India-Asia collision began in the early Cenozoic, with rather …

The PhanSST global database of Phanerozoic sea surface temperature proxy data
Paleotemperature proxy data form the cornerstone of paleoclimate research and are integral
to understanding the evolution of the Earth system across the Phanerozoic Eon. Here, we …

Warm, not super-hot, temperatures in the early Eocene subtropics
Abstract The early Eocene (ca. 55–48 Ma) encompasses one of the warmest intervals of the
past 65 my and is characterized by an unusually low equator-to-pole thermal gradient …

Molecular phylogenies and historical biogeography of a circumtropical group of gastropods (Genus: Nerita): implications for regional diversity patterns in the marine …
MA Frey, GJ Vermeij - Molecular Phylogenetics and evolution, 2008 - Elsevier
To determine how historical processes, namely speciation, extinction, and dispersal, have
contributed to regional species diversity patterns across the marine tropics, we examined the …
