| − | [[Image: | + | [[Image:PPP_front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2">The enigmatic middle Eocene climatic optimum (MECO) is a transient (∼500kyr) warming event that significantly interrupted at ∼40 Ma the long-term cooling through the middle and late Eocene, eventually resulting in establishment of permanent Antarctic ice-sheet. ...... Here we present a detailed planktonic foraminiferal analysis of the MECO interval from a marginal basin of the central-western Tethys (Alano section, northeastern Italy). ...... High-resolution quantitative analysis performed on both >38 μm and >63 μm fractions reveals pronounced and complex changes in planktonic foraminiferal assemblages indicating a strong environmental perturbation that parallels the variations of the stable isotope curves corresponding to the MECO and post-MECO intervals. |
