The Yarkand Basin, located in the southwest of Tarim is a northeastern part eastern Paratethys ocean Paleocene, and significant amount evaporites, with gypsum, anhydrite, halite as main types, were developed this area. These evaporites record sedimentary environment at that time. A study was conducted on sulfur isotopic composition gypsum Paleocene Basin to explore origin interpret environment....

The middle Paleocene Newell’s Nook biota of the Tongue River Member Fort Union Formation, southeastern Montana, is best known for its early Tiffanian mammalian fauna. Here, we describe an informative fruit and seed assemblage from this locality. These records refine lower stratigraphic boundary several plant genera more widely paleobotanical localities less certain assignment within upper help ...

The mineralogy and geochemistry of Paleocene shales and interbedded siltstones in the southwestern of Ahar town (NW Iran) were studied by optical microscopy, XRD, SEM, XRF, and ICP-MS techniques. The mineralogical composition, mainly characterized by calcite, quartz, feldspar, dolomite, muscovite, magnesiohornblende, chlorite, illite, montmorionite, palygorskite, and koninckite, suggests relati...

Most studies of the response terrestrial vegetation to climate change during Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) have focused on individual sites and sections. To get a broader perspective we compiled published records pollen spores across transition at 38 around globe. For 10 with quantitative data PETM palynofloras were largely distinct in composition from those latest Paleocene or post-P...
