Dababiya is a Paleocene/Eocene Boundary Stratotype located south of Luxor in Egypt. The area is of great importance from the geological point of view, as the geological stratotype contains all the layers that characterized the transitional period between the Paleocene and Eocene eras of 55 million years ago, as that period witnessed great geological and climatic changes that had a great impact on the extinction of many marine organisms in that era and the beginning of the spread of mammals.
