Many explanations for Eocene climate change focus on the Southern Ocean—where
tectonics influenced oceanic gateways, ocean circulation reduced heat transport, and …

Antarctic Eocene selachians were reported from the La Meseta Formation of Seymour Island
and from glacial erratics of Mount Discovery, Antarctica. Seymour Island has produced the …
