In this paper, a synthesis of available stratigraphic and foraminiferal evidence from the upper Cretaceous-Eocene sequence of various parts of the India-Pakistan-Burma region is presented.Abstract:
A synthesis of the available stratigraphic and foraminiferal evidence from the upper Cretaceous-Eocene sequence of various parts of the India-Pakistan-Burma region "shows that there were four main cycles of deposition. Each cycle is shown to have started with a transgression and ended with a regression. Evidence of minor local regression is present in some places. The earliest of these cycles ended with the Maestrichtian, and this is taken to indicate the end of the Cretaceous period. The next cycle strated with the Danian, which is now placed in the lowermost Tertiary (basal Paleocene), and continued into the Ranikot stage (Paleocene). The third and fourth cycles began with the Laki and the Khirthar stages, respectively, the two cycles together representing the whole of the Eocene."read more

Cretaceous-Tertiary Carbonate Platform Evolution and the Age of the India-Asia Collision along the Ladakh Himalaya (Northwest India)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Ophiolite obduction onto the Indian passive margin during the latest Cretaceous and predated initial collision of the two continental plates to date the Tethys Ocean separating the Indian and Asian plates.

Late Paleocene early Eocene Tethyan carbonate platform evolution — A response to long- and short-term paleoclimatic change
TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of Tethyan carbonate platform evolution in the early Paleogene (~59−55 ǫ) concentrating on coral reefs and larger foraminifera, two important organism groups during this time interval is presented.

Cenozoic stratigraphic succession in southeastern Australia
TL;DR: The neritic strata fall into four sequences or allostratigraphic packages of (I) Paleocene -Early Eocene, (II) Middle Eocene - Early Oligocene,(III) LateOligocene - Middle Miocene, and (IV) Late Miocene - Holocene age: a four part pattern that can be seen also in the flanking pelagic and terrestrial realms including regolith deep weathering.

Biogeographic impact of the Leeuwin Current in southern Australia since the late middle Eocene
TL;DR: The earliest spoor of the Leeuwin Current is in the later middle Eocene, at which time the part-deflection of counter-gyral circulation in the Indian Ocean to the southeast was stimulated by the accelerated opening of the oceanic gap between Australia and Antarctica as mentioned in this paper.
