Review and revision of Cenozoic tropical planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy and calibration to the geomagnetic polarity and astronomical time scale
TLDR
In this article, an amended low-latitude (tropical and subtropical) Cenozoic planktonic foraminiferal zonation is presented, based on the first appearance dates of Globigerinatheka kugleri and Hantkenina singanoae.About:

The Neogene Period
TL;DR: An Astronomically Tuned Neogene Time Scale (ATNTS2012) is presented in this article, as an update of ATNTS2004 in GTS2004, and the numerical ages are identical or almost so.
Book ChapterDOI
The Paleogene Period
TL;DR: In this article, a cyclic sedimentation series, calibrated to the geomagnetic polarity and biostratigraphic scales, has been used to improve the resolution of the Paleogene time scale.

Changing atmospheric CO2 concentration was the primary driver of early Cenozoic climate
Eleni Anagnostou,Eleanor H. John,Kirsty M. Edgar,Gavin L. Foster,Andy Ridgwell,Gordon N. Inglis,Richard D. Pancost,Daniel J. Lunt,Paul Nicholas Pearson +8 more
TL;DR: A new high-fidelity record of CO2 concentrations is generated using the boron isotope (δ11B) composition of well preserved planktonic foraminifera from the Tanzania Drilling Project, revising previous estimates and indicating that a large fraction of the warmth of the early Eocene greenhouse was driven by increasedCO2 concentrations, and that climate sensitivity was relatively constant throughout this period.

Evolution and Geological Significance of Larger Benthic Foraminifera
TL;DR: In this paper, the Mesozoic larger benthic foraminifera assemblages in the understanding of the global distribution of carbonate sediments and their value in contributing raw data to palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic models.

Biozonation and biochronology of Paleogene calcareous nannofossils from low and middle latitudes
Claudia Agnini,Eliana Fornaciari,Isabella Raffi,Rita Catanzariti,Heiko Pälike,Jan Backman,Domenico Rio +6 more
TL;DR: Calcareous nannofossils have provided a powerful biostratigraphic tool since the 1950's and 1960's, when several milestone papers began to highlight their potential use in dating Cenozoic sediments as mentioned in this paper.

Revised calibration of the geomagnetic polarity timescale for the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic
Steven C. Cande,Dennis V. Kent +1 more
TL;DR: An adjusted geomagnetic reversal chronology for the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic is presented that is consistent with astrochronology in the Pleistocene and Pliocene and with a new timescale for the Mesozoic.
Book ChapterDOI
A revised Cenozoic geochronology and chronostratigraphy
TL;DR: Cande and Kent as mentioned in this paper presented a revised (integrated magnetobiochronologic) Cenozoic time scale (IMBTS) based on an assessment and integration of data from several sources.

A long-term numerical solution for the insolation quantities of the Earth
Jacques Laskar,Philippe Robutel,F. Joutel,Mickael Gastineau,Alexandre C. M. Correia,Alexandre C. M. Correia,Benjamin Levrard +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new solution for the astronomical computation of the insolation quantities on Earth spanning from −250 m to 250 m was presented, where the most regular components of the orbital solution could still be used over a much longer time span, which is why they provided here the solution over 250 m.
