The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) is a global warming event at about 40 Ma that interrupted the long-term Cenozoic cooling trend. Up to now only a few studies have focused with enough resolution to evaluate the paleoenvironmental and paleobiotic consequences of this hyperthermal event. In th...
