Planktonic foraminifera are widely utilized for the biostratigraphy of Cretaceous and
Cenozoic marine sediments and are a fundamental component of Cenozoic …

We present a complete phylogeny of macroperforate planktonic foraminifer species of the
Cenozoic Era (∼ 65 million years ago to present). The phylogeny is developed from a large …

New biostratigraphic investigations on deep sea cores and outcrop sections have revealed
several shortcomings in currently used tropical to subtropical Eocene planktonic …

The initiation of tectonic plate subduction into the mantle is poorly understood. If subduction
is induced by the push of a distant mid-ocean ridge or subducted slab pull, we expect …

We present a new multiproxy (TEX86, δ18O and Mg/Ca), marine temperature history for
Canterbury Basin, eastern New Zealand, that extends from middle Paleocene to middle …

Abstract The proto‐Paratethys Sea covered a vast area extending from the Mediterranean
Tethys to the Tarim Basin in western China during Cretaceous and early Paleogene …

Applications of fossil shells of planktonic foraminifera to decipher past environmental
change and plankton evolution require a robust operational taxonomy. In this respect, extant …

In recent years it has become apparent that the “cool tropic paradox” of Paleogene and
Cretaceous “greenhouse” climates arises because of the diagenetic alteration of tropical …

Abstract The Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (KPB) mass extinction (~ 66.02 Ma) and the
Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM)(~ 55.8 Ma) are two remarkable climatic and …

Abstract The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) was a gradual warming event and
carbon cycle perturbation that occurred between 40.5 and 40.1 Ma. A number of …
