Middle Eocene primate tarsals from China: implications for haplorhine evolution.
We describe tarsal remains of primates recovered from the Middle Eocene (approximately 45 mya) Shanghuang fissures in southern Jiangsu Province, China. These tarsals document the existence of four higher-level taxa of haplorhine primates and at least two adapid species. The meager and poorly preserved adapid material exhibits some similarities to European adapines like Adapis. The haplorhine pr...
متن کاملLarger benthic foraminifera from the Middle Eocene
Larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) are common and diverse throughout the Paleogene sediments of southern Tanzania, but have previously been little studied. A recent programme of onshore drilling known as the Tanzania Drilling Project has recovered large proportion of this succession for palaeoclimatic and palaeontological study. The sediment is largely a hemipelagic clay with secondary gravity s...
متن کاملA Middle-Late Eocene inflorescence of Caryophyllaceae from Tasmania, Australia.
A new genus and species (Caryophylloflora paleogenica genus and species nova G. J. Jord. & Macphail) are proposed for a fossil inflorescence found in Middle-Late Eocene sediments at Locharbour, northeastern Tasmania, Australia. A parsimony analysis of 75 extant species of the order Caryophyllales and five outgroups placed the fossil within Caryophyllaceae, either subfamily Alsinoideae or Caryop...
متن کاملA Diverse Paleobiota in Early Eocene Fushun Amber from China
Paleogene arthropod biotas have proved important for tracing the faunal turnover and intercontinental faunal interchange driven by climatic warming and geodynamic events [1-5]. Despite the large number of Paleogene fossil arthropods in Europe and North America [5-8], little is known about the typical Asian (Laurasia-originated) arthropod biota. Here, we report a unique amber biota (50-53 millio...
متن کاملA middle Eocene carbon cycle conundrum
1 The global carbon cycle The global carbon cycle encompasses the sum of processes that determine the amount of carbon within, and fluxes between, different carbon reservoirs on Earth (Fig. 1). These processes are quantitatively important on a range of timescales and can induce both short-term fluctuations and changes in steady-state conditions1–3. On timescales of up to centuries and thousands...
