DOI: 10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2017.02.011
Abstract: Abstract Seismic characterization of Eocene-Oligocene heterozoan carbonate strata from the Browse Basin, Northwest Shelf of Australia, defines marked progradation of nearly 10 km. Stratal terminations and stacking subdivide the succession into mappable seismic units. Stratal architecture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2018.07.004
Abstract: Abstract The palynological analysis of the Eocene–Oligocene succession from the Tattofte section in the western External Rif (northwestern Morocco) reveals the presence of well-preserved and diverse assemblage, rich in dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts). Qualitative analyses, especially… read more here.

North Atlantic Evidence for a Unipolar Icehouse Climate State at the Eocene‐Oligocene Transition

DOI: 10.1029/2019pa003563
Abstract: Earth's climate transitioned from a warm unglaciated state to a colder glaciated “icehouse” state during the Cenozoic. Extensive ice sheets were first sustained on Antarctica at the Eocene‐Oligocene Transition (EOT, ~34 Ma), but there is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2115346119
Abstract: SignificanceThe results show that dynamic variations in the Earth's interior could have played a key role in the Eocene-Oligocene climatic transition (∼33.9 Ma) and the inception of glaciations. Pulsations in the Iceland mantle plume modified… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/0269249x.2017.1395366
Abstract: The so-called Oamaru Diatomite dates from approximately the Eocene–Oligocene Transition (∼34 million years ago), which is widely regarded as one of the most important climatic events of the entire Cenozoic era due to global cooling… read more here.
