TL;DR: In this paper, a new data set of fossil occurrences representing 3.5 million specimens was presented, and it was shown that global and local diversity was less than twice as high in the Neogene as in the mid-Paleozoic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nannoplankton extinction and origination across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
TL;DR: The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum was an interval of global warming and ocean acidification attributed to rapid release and oxidation of buried carbon that appears to have driven turnover, preferentially affecting rare taxa living close to their viable limits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Warming, euxinia and sea level rise during the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum on the Gulf Coastal Plain: implications for ocean oxygenation and nutrient cycling

TL;DR: This paper identified the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) in a sediment core from the US margin of the Gulf of Mexico, which is rich in angular (thus in situ produced; autochthonous) glauconite grains, which indicate sedimentary condensation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of lithification on the diversity, size distribution, and recovery dynamics of marine invertebrate assemblages
TL;DR: Using mollusk-dominated assemblages from the early Cenozoic of the Gulf Coastal Plain, this paper found that lithification conceals small taxa, decreases taxonomic resolution, and exacerbates the undersampling of rare taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shallow marine response to global climate change during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, Salisbury Embayment, USA

TL;DR: The authors examined the sediments, flora and fauna from an expanded section at Mattawoman Creek-Billingsley Road (MCBR) in Maryland and explore the impact of warming at a nearshore shallow marine (30-100 m water depth) site in the Salisbury Embayment.
