Atlas of Paleogene Paleogeographic Maps
This Atlas of Paleogne Paleogeographic Maps shows the changing paleogeography
from the Paleocene (60.6 Ma) to the Late Oligocene (25.7 Ma). The maps are from
volume 1 of the PALEOMAP PaleoAtlas for ArcGIS (Scotese, 2014). Absolute age
assignments are from Ogg, Ogg & Gradstein (2008).
For Maps 8, 10, 12, and 15, there are two versions of the paleogeography. One
map shows the maximum highstand sea level (maximum flooding surface). The other
map shows the minimum lowstand sea level (supersequence boundary). For each
paleogeography there is an estimate of sea level change (m) relative to present-
day sea level.
The following maps are included in the Atlas of Paleogene Paleogeographic Maps:
Map 08 Late Oligocene (Chattian, 25.7 Ma Ma) Aquitanian Superseqeunce Boundary
& Late Oligocene Transgressive Systems Tract
Map 09 Early Oligocene (Rupelian, 31.1 Ma) Maximum Flooding Surface
Map 10 Late Eocene, (Priabonian, 35.6 Ma) Rupelian Supersequence Boundary &
Priabonian Transgressive Systems Tract
Map 11 late Middle Eocene (Bartonian, 38.8 Ma) Bartonian Transgressive Systems
Tract
Map 12 early Middle Eocene, (middle Lutetian, 44.6 Ma) Lutetian Maximum
Flooding Surface & Lutetian Supersequence Boundary
Map 13 Early Eocene (Ypresian, 52.2 Ma) Ypresian Maximum Flooding Surface
Map 14 Paleocene/Eocene Boundary (PETM, Thanetian/Ypresian Boundary, 55.8 Ma)
PETM Transgressive Systems Tract
Map 15 Paleocene (Danian & Thanetian, 60.6 Ma) Paleocene Maximum Flooding
Surface & Danian Supersequence Boundary

  • 3. Atlas of Paleogene Paleogeographic Maps This Atlas of Paleogne Paleogeographic Maps shows the changing paleogeography from the Paleocene (60.6 Ma) to the Late Oligocene (25.7 Ma). The maps are from volume 1 of the PALEOMAP PaleoAtlas for ArcGIS (Scotese, 2014). Absolute age assignments are from Ogg, Ogg & Gradstein (2008). For Maps 8, 10, 12, and 15, there are two versions of the paleogeography. One map shows the maximum highstand sea level (maximum flooding surface). The other map shows the minimum lowstand sea level (supersequence boundary). For each paleogeography there is an estimate of sea level change (m) relative to present- day sea level. The following maps are included in the Atlas of Paleogene Paleogeographic Maps: Map 08 Late Oligocene (Chattian, 25.7 Ma Ma) Aquitanian Superseqeunce Boundary & Late Oligocene Transgressive Systems Tract Map 09 Early Oligocene (Rupelian, 31.1 Ma) Maximum Flooding Surface Map 10 Late Eocene, (Priabonian, 35.6 Ma) Rupelian Supersequence Boundary & Priabonian Transgressive Systems Tract Map 11 late Middle Eocene (Bartonian, 38.8 Ma) Bartonian Transgressive Systems Tract Map 12 early Middle Eocene, (middle Lutetian, 44.6 Ma) Lutetian Maximum Flooding Surface & Lutetian Supersequence Boundary Map 13 Early Eocene (Ypresian, 52.2 Ma) Ypresian Maximum Flooding Surface Map 14 Paleocene/Eocene Boundary (PETM, Thanetian/Ypresian Boundary, 55.8 Ma) PETM Transgressive Systems Tract Map 15 Paleocene (Danian & Thanetian, 60.6 Ma) Paleocene Maximum Flooding Surface & Danian Supersequence Boundary This Atlas should be cited as: Scotese, C.R., 2014.
