A new genus of chemosymbiotic vesicomyid bivalves from the Oligocene of western North America [PDF]
We describe a new genus of the chemosymbiotic bivalve family Vesicomyidae, Squiresica, for two Oligocene species, previously assigned to Archivesica, from western North America.

Tuning the Charge Transfer and Optoelectronic Properties of 4,6-Di(Thiophene-2-Yl)Pyrimidine Via Oligocenothiophene Substitution [PDF]
Five new derivatives of 4,6-di(thiophen-2-yl)pyrimidine (DTP) were designed by structural modification with the aim to tune the electro-optical and charge transfer properties.

New material of Epiaceratherium and a new species of Mesaceratherium clear up the phylogeny of early Rhinocerotidae (Perissodactyla) [PDF]
Reduction of the anterior dentition (i.e. incisors and canines) is a major adaptative trait of the Rhinocerotidae among Perissodactyla. However, the corresponding evolutionary sequence was lacking a robust phylogenetic frame to support it thus far. Here,

Taxonomy and biostratigraphy of new and emended species of Cenozoic deep-water agglutinated foraminifera from the Labrador and North Seas [PDF]
Deep marine, fine grained sedimentary strata of Maastrichtian through Miocene age in the Labrador and North Sea sedimentary basins are rich in agglutinated benthic foraminifera.

Eocene–early Oligocene climate and vegetation change in southern China: Evidence from the Maoming Basin [PDF]
Although the Eocene-Oligocene climate transition marks a critical point in the development of the ‘icehouse’ global climate of the present little is known about this important change in the terrestrial realm at low latitudes.

Paleovegetation and paleoclimate in the Baise Basin during Oligocene
To reconstruct the palaeovegetation and palaeoclimate in the Baise Basin during the Oligocene, in this work, we analyzed sporopollen fossils from the Fuping Formation in this region.
