The middle Eocene species Caenopithecus lemuroides, known solely from the Egerkingen fissure fillings in Switzerland, was the first Paleogene fossil primate to be correctly identified as such (by Ludwig Rütimeyer in 1862), but has long been represented only by fragmentary mandibular and maxillary remains. More recent discoveries of adapiform fossils in other parts of the world have revealed Cae...

Oxygen and carbon isotope ratios of benthic foraminifers were measured on the continuous middle to lower bathyal sedimentary sequence dated from the upper Maestrichtian to lower Eocene which was recovered at Site 752 in the eastern Indian Ocean. The changes in the carbon isotope values can be correlated with the faunal changes of the benthic foraminifers.

A new genus and species of webspinner, Galloembia raholai n. gen. et sp., is described from the earliest Eocene Oise amber France. The currently oldest record family, a taxon previously known only as far back middle Baltic an exceptionally dubious Eocene-Oligocene impression fossil central United States. diagnosed compared with other genera Embiidae.

The diversity of basal ungulates is significant in the late middle Eocene Pondaung Formation (Myanmar). However, precise identification or attribution some fossils sometimes difficult because scarcity and poor preservation material. We describe here a new genus species Dichobunidae from Paukkaung Kyitchaung 2 locality, that morphologically probably phylo­genetically close to taxon early-middle ...

Sea surface and subsurface temperatures over large parts of the ocean during the Eocene epoch (55.5-33.7 Ma) exceeded modern values by several degrees, which must have affected a number of oceanic processes. Here, we focus on the effect of elevated water column temperatures on the efficiency of the biological pump, particularly in relation to carbon and nutrient cycling. We use stable isotope v...

At Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1090 (lat 42 54.8 S, long 8 54.0 E) located in a water depth of 3702 m on the Agulhas Ridge in the sub-Antarctic South Atlantic, 300 m of middle Eocene to middle Miocene sediments were recovered with the advanced piston corer (APC) and the extended core barrel (XCB). U-channel samples from the 70–230 meters composite depth (mcd) interval provide a magnetic p...
