Reconstructions of global mean sea level from earlier warm periods in Earth?s history can helpconstrain future projections of sea level rise. Here we report on the sedimentology and age ofa geological unit in central Patagonia, Argentina, that we dated to the Early Pliocene(4.69?5.23 Ma, 2σ) with st...
