The new track is a relaxed, atmospheric piece of mood music written by drummer Paul Seidel, though it was synth player Peter Voigtmann who actually played drums on the song. "Oligocene" offers a ...

Oxygen isotopes data enable researchers to look far back into the geologic past and reconstruct the climate of the past. In doing so, they consider several factors such as ocean temperature and ice ...

The Oligocene to Lower Miocene of Site 1148, Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 184 was investigated palynologically to explore environmental change within the newly formed rifted South China Sea. The ...

Profound environmental and faunal changes are associated with climatic deterioration during the Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT) roughly 34 million years ago. Primates are among the most ...

Miocene carbonate systems : an introduction / M. Mutti, W. Piller, and C. Betzler -- A synthesis of Late Oligocene though Miocene deep sea temperatures as inferred from foraminiferal Mg/Ca ratios / K.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 17 (April 26, 2022), pp. 1-9 (9 pages) The Eocene–Oligocene Transition (∼33.9 Ma) marks the largest step ...

Ecological reconstruction of giant rhinos and their accompanying fauna in northwest China during the Oligocene. The giant rhino, genus Paraceratherium, was a hornless, long-necked herbivore living in ...

Researchers from China, the U.K., Netherlands, and Australia have revealed orbital-scale Asian monsoon variability and dynamics under conditions of high atmospheric CO2concentrations and a warm ...

Researchers have unearthed a "mother lode" of a half-dozen fossil primate species in southern China.These primates eked out an existence just after the Eocene-Oligocene transition, when drastic ...

An extinct dolphin species likely from the Oligocene has been discovered. The fossil is one of the few fossil dolphins from the equator, and is a reminder that Oligocene cetaceans may have ranged ...
