The Eocene is a Palaeogene epoch following the Paleocene, approximately to million years ago.[ref] Its strata are used in paleoclimate reconstruction, where oxygen isotope ratios and other material properties must be calibrated against the physical conditions that produced them. The stratigraphic label identifies time, rather than one globally uniform sediment type.
