Recent high-resolution Oligocene–Miocene oxygen isotopic records revealed a relatively transient, ca. 2 myr period, 1m amplitude cyclicity in isotopic values (Oi and Mi events, respectively). Intriguingly, it has been suggested that these isotopic excursions in oceanic d18O were linked to ephemeral...
