The first diagnostic fossils of an oilbird (Steatornithidae : Caprimulgiformes), two nearly complete skeletons, are described as a new genus and species from the early Eocene Green River Formation of Wyoming. The fossil form is smaller than the living Oilbird (Steatomis caripensis) but had the characteristically shortened tarsometatarsus and distinctive mandibular morphology. The sternum and pe...
For nearly 100 million years, the India subcontinent drifted from Gondwana until its collision with Asia some 50 Ma, during which time the landmass presumably evolved a highly endemic biota. Recent excavations of rich outcrops of 50-52-million-year-old amber with diverse inclusions from the Cambay Shale of Gujarat, western India address this issue. Cambay amber occurs in lignitic and muddy sedi...
The origins of interactions between angiosperms and fruit-eating seed dispersers have attracted much attention following a seminal paper on this topic by Tiffney (1984). This review synthesizes evidence pertaining to key events during the evolution of angiosperm-frugivore interactions and suggests some implications of this evidence for interpretations of angiosperm-frugivore coevolution. The mo...
The Paleogene record of caviomorph rodents has substantially increased over the last decades, and their evolutionary history better understood by discovery earliest representatives, so far recorded in several pre-Deseadan localities Peruvian Amazonia. We report here new fossils from Balsayacu area Peru (TAR-55/TAR-55bis, TAR-76 TAR-77 localities, San Martín Department). study this material reve...
The Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX) proved to be one of the most transformational missions in almost 40 year of scientific ocean drilling. ACEX recovered the first Cenozoic sedimentary sequence from the Arctic Ocean and extended earlier piston core records from ∼1.5 Ma back to ∼56 Ma. The results have had a major impact in paleoceanography even though the recovered sediments represents only 29%...
Geochemical and modeling studies suggest that the transition from the "greenhouse" state of the Late Eocene to the "icehouse" conditions of the Oligocene 34-33.5 Ma was triggered by a reduction of atmospheric pCO2 that enabled the rapid buildup of a permanent ice sheet on the Antarctic continent. Marine records show that the drop in pCO2 during this interval was accompanied by a significant dec...
حوضه ی رسوبی کپه داغ در شمال و شمال شرقی ایران قرار گرفته و سازند خانگیران یکی از مهمترین سازندهای پالئوژن این حوضه میباشد. به منظور مطالعه این سازند ناودیس چهل کمان واقع در غرب شهر سرخس، شرق حوضه ی رسوبی کپه داغ انتخاب گردیده است. این سازند در برش مورد نظر دارای 136 متر ضخامت بوده و لیتولوژی آن شامل تناوبی از مارن به رنگ سبز زیتونی و مارن آهکی به رنگ زرد کرمی می باشد. مرز زیرین آن با سازند چهل...
chaldoran area in nw of iran has mesozoic oceanic crust basement. the studied rocks of this region can be divided into three groups: ophiolitic gabbros and pillow lavas, ophiolitic volcanoclastics and eocene lava flows. ophiolitic mafic rocks show continental volcanic arc natures and eocene lava flow shows oib-like nature. during the mesozoic,the chaldoran region was situated in the active cont...
