This chapter introduces the reader to philosophical and ethical inquiry by forging a distinction between descriptive and normative claims, as well as explanatory and justificatory arguments. It utilizes cases of paleontological discovery and climate communication to argue that “catastrophe reasoning” about climate change is not only politically but ...

The Paleocene Primate Plesiolestes and the Origin of Microsyopidae
Folia Primatologica, 1973Comparison of the dental morphology of the Middle Paleocene paromomyid primate Plesiolestes problematicus with that of the Early Eocene microsyopid Cynodontomystatideas indicates that Plesiolestes and Cynodontomys are closely related and that the Microsyopidae are derived from paromomyid primates.

Correlation of Paleocene and Eocene Formations and Cretaceous-Paleocene Boundary in New Jersey
AAPG Bulletin, 1956ABSTRACT The Hornerstown formation is correlated with the Midway stage (Paleocene) of the Gulf Coast. The Vincentown formation is correlated with the Aquia formation (lower Eocene) of Maryland, and the Manasquan formation is correlated with the Claiborne stage (middle Eocene) of Alabama.

Late Cretaceous–Paleocene Depsits
2020Preceding studies divided the Late Cretaceous deposits in the Cyrenaica Basin into two parts: the first part was deposited on the coast (Al Hilal and Al Athrun formations) and the second part in the inland (Qasr Al Abid, Al Baniyah, Al Majahir and Wadi Dukhan formations).

The Paleocene primate radiation
2015The plesiadapoid primates What events took place 65.5 mya at the beginning of the Cenozoic Era, which is colloquially known as “The Age of Mammals?” This is the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) boundary, and it is now clear that most placental mammal orders originate after this boundary (O’Leary et al ., 2013).

Paleocene reservoirs of the Everest trend
Geological Society, London, Petroleum Geology Conference Series, 1993The Everest trend of stratigraphically-trapped Paleocene gas accumulations was first recognized by the Amoco Group in the late 1970s and tested by the 22/10a-2 well in 1981. The well discovered gas–condensate pay in submarine fan sandstones of the Maureen and Andrew formations of the Montrose Group. These sandstones are absent in the 22/10-1 well, some

Paleocene—A Micropaleontologist’s Point of View
AAPG Bulletin, 1965ABSTRACT An historical summary is presented of the original definition, early and subsequent usage, and present conflicting concepts of the term Paleocene. Recent studies on planktonic foraminifers and coccolithophorids have resulted in a biostratigraphic zonation of the Paleocene which can be correlated with sufficient accuracy with ...

Volume calculation of Paleocene calcareous nannofossils
2008During the past decades, volume calculation of extant calcareous nannoplankton has been performed in order to convert coccolith fluxes data into carbonate export productivity. The most useful and relative recent method to estimate the volume of coccoliths is described by Young & Ziveri (2000).
