Abstract The early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO; ∼53–49 Ma) was the warmest sustained global warming episode of the Cenozoic, accompanied by major alterations in terrestrial and marine biota. Here we detail changes in low‐latitude calcareous nannofossil assemblages at two tropical sites in the equatorial Atlantic (ODP Site 1258) and Pacific (ODP Site ...

Remarks on the type locality and current status of the foraminiferal species Rzehakina epigona (Rzehak, 1895) [PDF]
A likely topotype locality is proposed for Rzehakina epigona. As the type specimen of Silicina epigona Rzehak, 1895 is assumed to be lost, we undertook a search for new material in the type area, Zdounky village in Moravia. A single locality provided a
