The end of Oligocene was a critical time for angiosperm evolution, with the definitive establishment of modern vegetation and grass-dominated landscapes. Is was also a time marked by important geological events, with the ...

In a letter to Nature (February, 2011), Xunlai Yuan and collaborators recorded carbon compression fossils from black shales of the Lantian Formation (Ediacaran), southern Anhui Province, South China. The new fossils, ...

Eocene paleofloras of Patagonia are diverse and increasingly known. A new assemblage of fossil wood has been recovered from Eocene sediments in Corcovado, western Argentinean Patagonia. The lithological succession (formerly ...

Premise of the Study: The global climate during the early Miocene was warmer than the present and preceded the even warmer middle Miocene climatic optimum. The paleo-CO2 records for this interval suggest paradoxically low ...

We compiled the numerous fossil records (486) assigned to Nothofagaceae including pollen grains (from surface sediments and continental and oceanic borehole cores), leaves, woods and reproductive structures from South ...

Comparisons of historical and modern assemblages of mammals can yield important insights into patterns and processes of environmental change. Here, we present the first analyses of small mammal assemblages present in ...

Extant continental (freshwater and terrestrial) molluscs are very informative from an environmental point of view. The specific environmental requirements of different taxa can be extrapolated to the fossil assemblages in ...
