Global change at the Paleocene-Eocene boundary: climatic and evolutionary consequences of tectonic events
Events of the Paleocene-Eocene boundary provide the clearest example to date of how a tectonic event may have global climatic consequences. Recent advances permit well-constrained stratigraphic determination of several events that occurred at that boundary, in chron C24R: a many-fold increase in sea-floor hydrothermal activity, a global warming, a reduction in the intensity of atmospheric circu...
متن کاملA comparison of terpenoid and leaf fossil vegetation proxies in Paleocene and Eocene Bighorn Basin sediments
Plant-derived terpenoids, long recognized as biomarkers, can help reveal the major taxonomic groups of land plants present in ancient environments, even if rocks and sediments do not preserve plant macroor microfossils. Previous studies have used simple dito triterpenoid ratios to reconstruct floral changes in the geologic past, but few have compared terpenoid ratios with estimates of floral co...
متن کاملThe chronology of the Eocene tectonic and stratigraphie development of the eastern Pyrenean foreland basin, northeast Spain
Abundant and clearly exposed relationships between structures and syntectonic sedimentary rocks in the southern Pyrenees make this area particularly suitable for detailed studies of the sequential development of a collisional orogenic belt. During the Pyrenean orogeny, major shortening occurred in the eastern Pyrenees in Eocene and early Oligocene times. Unto now, individual tectonic and deposi...
متن کاملMammalian dispersal at the Paleocene/Eocene boundary.
A profound faunal reorganization occurred near the Paleocene/Eocene boundary, when several groups of mammals abruptly appeared on the Holarctic continents. To test the hypothesis that this event featured the dispersal of groups from Asia to North America and Europe, we used isotope stratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, and quantitative biochronology to constrain the relative age of important Asian...
متن کاملReversed deep-sea carbonate ion basin-gradient during Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, ∼ 55 Ma ago) was marked by widespread CaCO3 dissolution in deep-sea sediments, a process that has been attributed to massive release of carbon into the ocean-atmosphere system. The pattern of carbonate dissolution is key to reconstructing changes in deep sea carbonate chemistry and, ultimately, the rate, magnitude, and location of carbon input. Here w...
