متن کاملA First Account of Freshwater Potamolepid Sponges (demospongiae, Spongillina, Potamolepidae) from the Middle Eocene: Biogeographic and Paleoclimatic Implications
We report the oldest fossil occurrence of freshwater potamolepid sponges (Demospongiae, Spongillina, Potamolepidae) to date, originating from middle Eocene lake sediments accumulated in the Giraffe kimberlite maar, northern Canada. Sponges are represented by strongyle spicules that are gemmuloscleres. These are described herein as belonging to a new species, Potamophloios canadensis. Because th...
متن کاملMiddle 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 کاملImplications for Isthmus closure Evidence for middle Eocene and younger land emergence in central Panama:
The rise of the Isthmus of Panama, linked to a number of climatic, paleoceanographic, and biological events, has been studied mostly from indirect, often distal, geochemical and biotic evidence. We have upgraded existing geologic mapping in central Panama with more than 2000 fi eld stations, over 40 petrographic analyses, and more than 30 new geochronological and thermo chrono logical analy ses...
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...
