The Tanet tier ( tane ) is the upper (third) tier of the Paleocene division of the Paleogene system of the Cenozoic erathema . The rocks of the Tanetian tier were formed during the Tanetian century , which lasted from 59.2 to 56.0 million years ago [1] .
The deposits of the Tanetian tier are underlain by rocks of the Zeeland tier of the Paleocene epoch of the Paleogene period , overlapped by the deposits of the Ipra tier of the Eocene epoch of the same period of the Cenozoic era .
This tier was first identified by the Swiss geologist Eugene Renevier in 1873 . The name received from the area Isle of Thanet in the English county of Kent .
