The Eocene World: Hyaenodon’s Habitat The Eocene Epoch was a time of lush forests, steaming swamps, and sprawling open plains. Earth’s climate was warmer, and continents were on the move ...

Yet, in Eocene strata, the most likely candidate we know of is Diatryma. Like the majority of trace fossils, we can’t be absolutely certain that Diatryma made the Chuckanut Formation tracks.

Researchers have managed to simulate the climate during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum—when Earth was 14 degrees Celsius warmer than it is now.

The strongest New World signal remaining in Eocene Patagonia based on well-described macrofossils comes from fossil fruits of Physalis (a genus of flowering plants including tomatillos and ground ...

The Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (56–48 million years ago) was one of the warmest intervals of the last 66 million years, with mean global surface temperatures over 14°C warmer than present.

47 million years ago, the world was a hothouse. Lush jungles covered much of the globe, stretching far from the equator, and they were rife with mammals. This was life in the Eocene Epoch.

It was a world largely inconsistent with natural ice formation. By 2030, under a business-as-usual scenario, Pliocene-like conditions become the closest match for most land areas, according to the ...

Outside Italy there are a number of other world-famous Eocene fossiliferous localities. For instance, the paleolakes of Grube Messel (Hesse, Germany) - known for the extraordinary mammals – and ...

A 500,000-year-long period of warmth in the middle Eocene was marked by high atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and prolonged dissolution of carbonate in the deep oceans. Numerical ...

In the Eocene world that emerged from the vestiges of the Late Cretaceous, giant avian dinosaurs left their mark on the landscape. I mean that literally.
