Past greenhouse periods with elevated atmospheric CO2 were characterized by globally warmer sea-surface temperatures (SST). However, the extent to which high latitudes warmed a greater degree than tropics (polar amplification) remains poorly constrained, in particular because there are only few temperature reconstructions from tropics. Consequently, relationship between increased CO2, of tropical warming, and resulting latitudinal SST gradient is not well known. Here, we present coupled...

Abstract At the Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT), c . 34.44–33.65 Ma, Earth's climate shifted from ‘greenhouse’ to ‘icehouse’ conditions. This change coincides with first continental ice growth on Antarctica, global cooling, and widespread overturning of faunal floral assemblages. Studies have focused timing mechanism larger foraminiferal extinctions across EOT, but there has been little work surviving taxa. Reticulate Nummulites are a morphologically distinctive biostratigraphically...

Otoliths are common in the fossil record and can provide important insight into evolution spatial stratigraphic distribution of fishes, but have remained understudied many areas world. Here, we describe first marine otolith assemblage from East Africa. The material is Tanzania Drilling Project cores late Eocene to early Oligocene age, spanning Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT). consists 10 identifiable species which 5 new, 4 remain open nomenclature. new as follows: Protanago africanus,...
