High-resolution molecular stratigraphy of Oligocene–Miocene sequence of Tumaco-1-ST-P well, Tumaco forearc Basin, Colombia by J. E. Cortes, A. Mejía-Molina, C. A. Vargas, S. I. Cortes

“…Toward the bottom of the column (10,000–12,000 ft), Tumaco Fm was deposited in the late Oligocene under a marine shelf environment. In the present paper, we propose a modeling approach, based on the evolution of the thermal maturity through the stratigraphic column, that at 17,000 feet depth could exist rocks with O.M. in the hydrocarbon generation window for Tumaco Basin, Colombia.…”

Salishicetus meadi, a new aetiocetid from the late Oligocene of Washington State and implications for feeding transitions in early mysticete evolution by Carlos Mauricio Peredo, Nicholas D. Pyenson

“…Here, we report a new aetiocetid, Salishicetus meadi gen. et sp. nov, from the late Oligocene of Washington State, USA. Salishicetus preserves a near-complete lower dentition with extensive occlusal wear, indicating that it processed prey using shearing cheek teeth in the same way as its stem cetacean ancestors. …”
