TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined analyses of deep tow magnetic anomalies and International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 349 cores to show that seafloor spreading started around 33 Ma in the northeastern South China Sea (SCS), but varied slightly by 1-2 Myr along the northern continent-ocean boundary.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 349 data to map seismic sequence boundaries and facies of the central basin and neighboring regions of the South China Sea and found that the most active faulting and vertical uplifting now occur in the southern East Subbasin, caused most likely by the active and fastest subduction/obduction of Taiwan and the collision between the northeast Palawan and the Luzon arc.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the emergence of a strong obliquity (axial tilt) control on Antarctic ice-sheet evolution during the Miocene by correlating the Antarctic margin geological records from 34 to 5 million years ago with a measure of oblivity sensitivity that compares the variance in deep sea sediment core oxygen-isotope data at oblivity timescales with variance of the calculated oblique forcing.

TL;DR: A distinctive organic-rich marine mudstone of Late Paleocene age occurs in most of New Zealand's sedimentary basins and has been identified as a potential source rock for oil and gas as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a re-examination of sediment cores from Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Site 277 on the western margin of the Campbell Plateau (paleolatitude of ~65° S) has identified an intact Paleocene-Eocene boundary overlain by a 34 cm thick record of the Paleocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) within nannofossil chalk.
