Early Paleocene-Late Eocene diatoms from the Blake Nose Western North Atlantic Ocean

The Blake Nose area serves as a critical site for studying diatom evolution, offering an unparalleled single-locality record that extends over 30 million years during the early Cenozoic Era. This extensive timeframe provides valuable insights into the ecological and evolutionary changes of diatoms in the western North Atlantic, approximately 350 km east of Florida, USA, making it a significant resource for researchers in paleobiology and geology.
