Abstract The late Eocene to early Oligocene is an intriguing Paleogene period in which the Earth climate state changed from Warmhouse to Coolhouse. Accurate age models are essential for investigating these climate transitions. The southwestern Pacific International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1553, with its almost complete succession of the ...

A critical revision of the fossil record, stratigraphy and diversity of the Neogene seal genus Monotherium (Carnivora, Phocidae) [PDF]
Historically, Monotherium had been one of the few genera of extinct Phocidae (true seals) that served as a wastebin taxon. Consequently, it did neither aid in understanding phylogenetic relationships of extinct Phocidae, nor in understanding seal ...

Abstract Mafic continental large igneous provinces (LIPs) erupted rapidly and may have overwhelmed Earth's atmospheric and biospheric systems. However, the exact balance and interplay between short‐term climate warming caused by CO2 emissions and long‐term cooling due to LIP weathering remains poorly understood.

Zaplavnensky horizon - a new stratone in the Lower Triassic of the East European platform
A new horizon, called Zaplavnensky, is suggested on the base of verhnesukhorechenskaya subsuite of Buzulukskaya depression in the Lower Triassic of the East European platform.

Youngest dinocephalian fossils extend the Tapinocephalus Zone, Karoo Basin, South Africa
The dinocephalians (Synapsida, Therapsida) were one of the dominant tetrapod groups of the Middle Permian (Guadalupian Epoch, ~270–260 million years ago) and are most abundantly recorded in the Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone (AZ) of the Main Karoo Basin,

On Prophoca and Leptophoca (Pinnipedia, Phocidae) from the Miocene of the North Atlantic realm : redescription, phylogenetic affinities and paleobiogeographic implications [PDF]
Background: Prophoca and Leptophoca represent the oldest known genera of phocine seals, dating from the latest early to middle Miocene. Originally, Prophoca rousseaui and Prophoca proxima were described based on fragmentary remains from the Miocene of ...

Abstract Carbon fluxes to Earth's atmosphere are reflected in the carbon isotope composition of atmospheric CO2 (δ13Catm). δ13Catm is used to track past changes to the global carbon cycle and is a variable in many paleoclimate proxies. However, existing δ13Catm proxy records derived from marine carbonates are relatively low‐resolution prior to the ...
