- Mammal Paleogene zone
The Mammal Paleogene zones or MP zones are biostratigraphy biostratigraphic biozone zones in the stratigraphic record of the Paleogene period of Europe . These zones were developed by Matthijs Freudenthal to help paleontologist s provide more specific reference points to evolution ary events in Europe, but are used by paleontologists on other continents as well. MP 1 is the earliest zone, and MP 30 is the most recent.

- Lutetian
Paleogene The Lutetian is, in the geologic timescale , a stage stratigraphy stage or age geology age in the Eocene . It spans the time between 48.6 0.2 annum Ma and 40.4 0.2 Ma million years ago . The Lutetian is preceded by the Ypresian and is followed by the Bartonian . ref Gradstein et al. 2004 ref Together with the Bartonian it is sometimes referred to as the Middle Eocene subepoch. Less often, the Middle Eocene is not used and the Lutetian is united with the Ypresian in the Early Eocene. Stratigraphic definition The Lutetian was named after Lutetia , the Latin language Latin name for the city of Paris . The Lutetian stage was introduced in scientific literature by French geologist Albert de Lapparent in 1883. The base of the Lutetian stage is at the first appearance of the foram genus Hantkenina . An official reference profile GSSP for the base of the Lutetian had in 2009 not yet been established. Two candidates are located in Spain . ref See the http wzar.unizar.es perso emolina ypresian.html potential website of Eustoquio Molina for these candidates ref The top of the Lutetian the base of the Bartonian is at the first appearance of calcareous nannoplankton species Reticulofenestra Reticulofenestra reticulata .
