Evidence for an early opening of the Bering Strait
TL;DR: The first opening of the Bering Strait was an important palaeogeographical and biogeographical event for marine and terrestrial biotas in Asia and North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
A refined age for the earliest opening of Bering Strait
TL;DR: In this paper, an age range of 5.4-5.5 Ma for the oldest North Pacific Cenozoic occurrence of the marine bivalve mollusk Astarte, which migrated from the Arctic Ocean into the North Pacific when Bering Strait first flooded.
Journal ArticleDOI
New evidence for the age of Bering Strait
TL;DR: The earliest known opening of Bering Strait in signaled by the presence in southern Alaskan Neogene strata of the marine bivalve mollusk Astarte, which had dwelled throughout the Cenozoic in the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Paleocene Arctic coastal climate inferred from molluscan stable and radiogenic isotope ratios
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed a data set to infer northern hemisphere polar marine temperatures during the late Paleocene using fossil shell stable isotope profiles, and they found that coastal water temperatures varied between 10 and 15°C during the seasons of growth, presumably spring, summer and fall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central American paleogeography controlled Pliocene Arctic Ocean molluscan migrations
TL;DR: The second phase of trans-Arctic migration was coeval with shoaling of the Central American seaway between North and South America as mentioned in this paper, leading to the reversal of marine flow to northward through the Bering Strait, which was one consequence of the reorganization of Northern Hemisphere ocean circulation caused by substantial closure of the Costa Rican seaway.
