Paleobiological inferences on middle Eocene native ungulates from South America: Functional morphological analysis of Notostylops and Notopithecus
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Morphology"
DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21499
Abstract: Eocene early‐diverging representatives of South American extinct notungulates are traditionally considered to have been “generalists” and “non‐specialized” in terms of the appendicular skeleton and locomotor behavior, as is the case with the notostylopid Notostylops, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.12.016
Abstract: Abstract North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) currently redistributes heat and salt between Earth's ocean basins, and plays a vital role in the ocean-atmosphere CO2 exchange. Despite its crucial role in today's climate system, vigorous debate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2018.01.003
Abstract: Abstract Until now, the middle Eocene has remained a poorly constrained interval of efforts to produce an astrochronological timescale for the entire Cenozoic. This has given rise to a so-called “Eocene astronomical timescale gap” (… read more here.
