Description for Late Paleocene-Early Eocene Biotic and Climatic Events in the Marine and Terrest
Hardback. This book is a comprehensive collection of the best scholarship available on the transition between the Paleocene and Eocene epochs-when the earth experienced the warmest climatic episode of the Cenozoic era. These 21 contributions detail the major turnover among marine and terrestrial organisms that resulted from sudden global warming. Editor(s): Aubrey, Marie-Pierre; Lucas, Spencer G.; Berggren, William A. Num Pages: 508 pages, 154 illus, 34 photo. BIC Classification: RBG; RBX; WNA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational.

The transition from the Paleocene to the Eocene Epoch-approximately 55 million years ago-represents a critical moment in the earth's history, when the warmest climatic episode of the Cenozoic era occurred. This sudden global warming resulted in major turnovers among marine and terrestrial organisms. Although this episode has become one of the most popular areas of research in the geologic sciences in the past decade, there has not yet been a work that brings together the profusion of new results in one volume. This book offers by far the most comprehensive source of data on a critically important interval of the ... Read more
