TL;DR: The GSSP-defined Paleocene/Eocene boundary is approximately 0.8 my older than the base of the standard Eocene Series as defined by the Ypresian Stage in epicontinental northwestern Europe.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Global Standard Stratotype-section (GSSP) for the Paleocene/Eocene (P/E) boundary has been selected in the Dababiya Quarry, near Luxor, at the base of a lithostratigraphic unit where the so-called Carbon Isotope Excursion (CIE) is re- corded.

TL;DR: In this article, the carbon isotope excursion recorded in dispersed organic carbon (DOC) from fine-grained terrestrial sedimentary rocks at Polecat Bench, Wyoming is very similar to that described in two high-resolution studies of pedogenic soil-nodule carbonate from the same section.

TL;DR: The Maladeta plutonic complex formed during the latest stages of the Variscan orogeny as discussed by the authors and was emplaced into the Paleozoic sedimentary sequence of the Pyrenees by an early intrusion of cumulate gabbronorites followed in order of emplacement by the main biotite-hornblende granodiorite, which was itself intruded by two small stocks of two mica cordierite granite.

TL;DR: The global stratotype sections and points for the bases of the Selandian and Thanetian stages have been defined in the coastal cliff along the Itzurun Beach at the town of Zumaia in the Basque Country, northern Spain this paper.
