Temperatures in tropical regions are estimated to have increased by 3° 5°C, compared with Late Paleocene values, during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, 56.3 million years ago) event. We investigated forest response this rapid warming evaluating palynological record of three stratigraphic sections eastern Colombia and western Venezuela. observed a distinct increase plant diversity origination rates, set new taxa, mostly angiosperms, added existing stock low-diversity flora. There...

Abstract The Chicxulub impact on the Yucatán Peninsula at Cretaceous‐Paleogene boundary (KPB) was a likely contributor to end‐Cretaceous mass extinction. Glassy objects produced by quenched melt from were distributed over large region centered Caribbean basin and have long been known preserve compositional information that could allow for more robust constraints pre‐impact target lithologies. Chicxulub‐derived glasses are generally altered in most localities, but recently discovered deposit...
Abstract The discovery of a new Cretaceous/Palaeogene (K/Pg) bathyal marine sequence on Gorgonilla Island, SW Colombia, extends the presence Chicxulub impact spherule deposits to Pacific region northern South America and Eastern Ocean. layer is approximately 20 mm thick consists extraordinarily well‐preserved glass spherules up 1.1 in diameter. About 70–90% are vitrified, their chemical composition consistent with Haiti (Beloc) spherules. Normal size‐grading, delicate textures, welded melt...
The oldest record of the brachyuran Diaulax Bell, 1863 is based on description rosablanca n. sp.from middle part Rosablanca Formation (Early Cretaceous, early Valanginian, Department Santander, Colombia).This also for fossil crustaceans from Colombia.The new species represented by numerous specimens showing ontogenic variation in size and shape, with adults becoming larger wider at anterior portion carapace.Differences other five genus are subtle but sufficient to erect a species.The...
Abundant concretions at two localities in central Colombia where the San Gil Inferior and Superior formations are exposed, have yielded numerous crustacean individuals, comprising one new genus Rathbunassa n. gen.(Callianassidae), species Joeranina colombiana sp., Planocarcinus johnjagti three further species.The following taxa recorded: ?Paraxiopsis sp.(Axiidae), aquilae (rAtHBun, 1935) comb.(Callianassidae), kerri (Luque, FeLdmAnn, SCHweitzer, JArAmiLLo & CAmeron, 2012) comb.,...
Occurrence of the mecochirid decapod Meyeria magna M'Coy 1849 is documented based on numerous articulated specimens collected from upper Aptian strata Colombia.This report represents fi rst record in America for species, previously reported deposits Europe.The a relatively uniform size found single stratigraphic level suggests mass mortality event, favorable conditions development community, or both.The range genus confi rmed to be Lower Upper Cretaceous.

A new species of the brachyuran Ophthalmoplax is documented based upon two specimens collected from shales Lodolitas de Aguacaliente Formation, Guadalupe Group, (Cordillera Oriental, Colombian Andes), which represents a regional transgressive event.The small crustaceans were found in uppermost parasequences with retrogradational stacking pattern, near to maximum flooding surface (MFS), at end late Campanian Transgressive Systems Tract (TST).This oldest record for America.Morphological...
