What are the origins of Antarctic Paleogene terrestrial mammals, and do their biodiversity patterns reflect a severe cooling 65–30 Ma?
In January 2013, researchers from the Swedish Museum of Natural History returned to Seymour Island in Antarctica to locate traces of Palaeogene mammals. Seymour Island, east of the Antarctic Peninsula, is the only place in Antarctica where fossiliferous Palaeogene strata are widely exposed.
