The ACEX sequence possibly contains either a large hiatus or an interval of strongly reduced sedimentation rates spanning the time interval from late Eocene to middle Miocene. This is a critical time interval, as it spans the time when prominent changes in global climate took place during the transition from the early Cenozoic Greenhouse world to the late Cenozoic Icehouse world.
