Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Eocene phymaraphiniid demosponges from South Western Australia: filling the gap
We describe two new genera of phymaraphiniid lithistid sponges Twertupia gen. nov. and Pickettispongia gen. nov. from the upper Eocene Pallinup Formation of South Western (SW) Australia based on new, rich and very well preserved material. Type material

A new species and a key to Isomira Mulsant, 1856 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Alleculinae) from Eocene Baltic amber [PDF]
Based on a single well-preserved specimen from Eocene Baltic amber, a new comb-clawed beetle Isomira lobanovi sp. n. (Alleculinae: Alleculini: Gonoderina) is described and illustrated.

Scaled biotic disruption during early Eocene global warming events [PDF]
Late Paleocene and early Eocene hyperthermals are transient warming events associated with massive perturbations of the global carbon cycle, and are considered partial analogues for current anthropogenic climate change.

The continental mud shale has a strong heterogeneity, and the prediction of its mineral composition, TOC (total organic carbon content) and other parameters is critical for the evaluation and optimization of continental shale oil and gas abundance.

Introduction Subduction-related magmas are characterized by enrichment of large ion lithophile elements (LILEs), light rare earth elements (LREEs) and depletion in high field strength elements (HFSEs) (Harangi et al., 2007). These geochemical signatures

Climate model and proxy data constraints on ocean warming across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum [PDF]
Constraining the greenhouse gas forcing, climatic warming and estimates of climate sensitivity across ancient large transient warming events is a major challenge to the palaeoclimate research community.

Organic Carbon Burial following the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) in the central - western Tethys [PDF]
We present trace metal geochemistry and stable isotope records for the middle Eocene Alano di Piave section, NE Italy, deposited during magnetochron C18n in the marginal Tethys Ocean. We identify a $\sim$ 500 kyr long carbon isotope perturbation event we
