Miocene paleoceanography at Rockall Plateau site 982 ...
The Miocene Epoch contains two juxtaposed end-member climate states beginning with the Miocene Climate Optimum (MCO) (17-14.8 Ma), the most recent interval of ice-free or near ice-free conditions, and ending with the abrupt establishment of a permanent East Antarctic Ice Sheet during the Middle Mioc...
