A new Stanford review of hundreds of studies going back decades finds little to no sediment dating back to the Eocene-Oligocene period.

During this period, Earth underwent profound planetary cooling and a major drop in sea levels about 34 million years ago .

The geological gap offers fresh insights into sediment deposition and erosion processes, as well as the broader environmental signals from dramatic climate change.

The Eocene-Oligocene boundary boundary has been observed in sedimentary basins around every continent.

The findings could help researchers better grasp the global enormity of today 's unfolding climate change.

The geologic past informs the present, and particularly the future, the researchers said.
