Eocene

The Paleogene Period (IPA: PAY-lee-ə-jeen, -⁠lee-oh-, PAL-ee-; also spelled Palaeogene or Palæogene) is a geologic period and system that spans 43 million years from the end of the Cretaceous Period 66 Ma (million years ago) to the beginning of the Neogene Period 23.04 Ma.

The end is set at a major extinction event called the Grande Coupure (the "Great Break" in continuity) or the Eocene-Oligocene extinction event, which may be related to the impact of one or more large bolides in Siberia and in what is now Chesapeake Bay.

The Fur Formation is a marine geological formation of Ypresian (Lower Eocene Epoch, c. 56.0-54.5 Ma) age which crops out in the Limfjord region of northern Denmark from Silstrup via Mors and Fur to Ertebølle, and can be seen in many cliffs and quarries in the area.

The geology of the Andaman islands consists essentially of Late Jurassic to Early Eocene ophiolites and sedimentary rocks (argillaceous and algal limestones), deformed by numerous deep faults and thrusts with ultramafic igneous intrusions.

From oldest to youngest the group is made up of the Chamberlain Pass and Chadron formations (late Eocene), the Brule Formation (Oligocene, deposited about 32 to 26 million years ago), and the Sharps Formation (latest Oligocene), which caps the park's highest peaks.

The rocks of Fantasy Canyon, quartzose sandstones, were deposited during the Eocene Epoch.

The Green River Formation is an Eocene geologic formation that records the sedimentation in a group of intermountain lakes in three basins along the present-day Green River in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.

It was formed from Palaeocene-Upper Eocene with the interbedding of sandstone and shales.

A second episode of deformation began during the Eocene Epoch around 45-40 Ma.

During the initial collision of the Asia and Indian plates, this granitic batholith was buried to depths of about 20 kilometres (12 mi) or more, highly metamorphosed, highly deformed, and partially remelted during the Eocene Period to form gneiss.

Kinmen, much like the surrounding Chinese mainland, is predominantly composed of Cretaceous aged granite, with lesser amounts of Eocene-Oligocene sandstone, Miocene basalt and Pleistocene-Holocene conglomerate.

The Messel Pit is a fossil preservation site in Hesse, central Germany, dated to the Eocene epoch (about 47 Ma).

Monte Bolca is an Early Eocene-aged geologic site located near Verona, Italy.

The layers of color for which the site is named can be traced back to cycling periods of wet and dry climate conditions associated with the transition from the Eocene epoch to the cooler, more temperate Oligocene epoch.

The cays are characterized by Early Miocene reefal limestone positioned upon Eocene-Oligocene volcanic rocks.

Sarawak Chamber is formed in Melinau Limestone, a reef complex of Upper Eocene to Early Miocene age.
