Bolboforma of Eocene and lower Oligocene sediments of Maud Rise, Weddell Sea
Five species of Bolboforma have been found in middle Eocene to lower Oligocene sediments from Maud Rise, Weddel Sea, Antarctica (Leg 113, Holes 689B and 690B), the first reported Bolboforma from the Antarctic Paleogene. The previous oldest known occurrences of Bolboforma in the world's oceans w...

Five species of Bolboforma have been found in middle Eocene to lower Oligocene sediments from Maud Rise, Weddel Sea, Antarctica (Leg 113, Holes 689B and 690B), the first reported Bolboforma from the Antarctic Paleogene. The previous oldest known occurrences of Bolboforma in the world's oceans were of late Eocene age and this study extends the known range to the middle middle Eocene (~ 44 Ma). Highest species diversity of Bolboforma in the Weddell Sea region of Antarctica occurred during the late Eocene, after which all but one important species disappeared before the Eocene/Oligocene boundary (36.5 Ma). The remaining species, B. irregularis, disappeared soon after, during the earliest Oligocene. The disappearance of Bolboforma in this region of Antarctica coincided with significant climatic cooling that occurred at the end of the Eocene and during the earliest Oligocene, when subpolar replaced temperate conditions. Bolboforma is not known from younger sediments in the Antarctic except for a brief interval during the late early Miocene, an interval of Neogene climatic warmth.
