40. Data Report: Oxygen and Carbon Isotope Records of the Upper Maestrichtian to Lower Eocene Benthic Foraminifers at Site 752 in the Eastern Indian Ocean
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oxygen and carbon isotope ratios of benthic foraminifers were measured on the continuous middle to lower bathyal sedimentary sequence dated from the upper Maestrichtian to lower Eocene which was recovered at Site 752 in the eastern Indian Ocean. The changes in the carbon isotope values can be correlated with the faunal changes of the benthic foraminifers.

Late Cretaceous through Neogene Deep - Sea Benthic Foraminifers ( Maud Rise , Weddell Sea , Antarctica ) 1
Upper abyssal to lower bathyal benthic foraminifers from ODP Sites 689 (present water depth 2080 m) and 690 (present water depth 2941 m) on Maud Rise (eastern Weddell Sea, Antarctica) are reliable indicators of Maestrichtian through Neogene changes in the deep-water characteristics at high southern latitudes. Benthic foraminiferal faunas were divided into eight assemblages, with periods of faun...
متن کاملCoherent pattern and timing of the carbon isotope excursion and warming during Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 as recorded in planktic and benthic foraminifera
[1] Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 (ETM2; ∼53.7 Ma) occurred approximately 2 Myr after the Paleocene‐ Eocene Thermal Maximum (∼55.5 Ma) and was characterized by a deep‐sea warming of >3°C, associated with massive release of carbon into the ocean‐atmosphere system. We performed single‐specimen stable isotope analyses of the planktic foraminiferal genera Acarinina (surface dweller) and Subbotina (therm...

To document the evolution of the early cryosphere, stable isotope analyses were conducted on the planktonic and benthic foraminifers from Ocean Drilling Program Site 1218. We generated two parallel 54m-long records at 10-cm resolution and thus produced a standard Pacific stable isotope reference curve for the 26.4to 30.0-Ma interval within the Oligocene. These data are necessary to document the...
متن کاملWarming the Fuel for the Fire: Evidence for the Thermal Dissociation of Methane Hydrate During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
Dramatic warming and upheaval of the carbon system at the end of the Paleocene Epoch have been linked to massive dissociation of sedimentary methane hydrate. However, testing the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum hydrate dissociation hypothesis has been hindered by the inability of available proxy records to resolve the initial sequence of events. The cause of the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximu...
متن کاملRapid and sustained surface ocean acidification during the PaleoceneEocene Thermal Maximum
The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) has been associated with the release of several thousands of petagrams of carbon (PgC) as methane and/or carbon dioxide into the ocean-atmosphere system within ~10 kyr, on the basis of the co-occurrence of a carbon isotope excursion (CIE), widespread dissolution of deep sea carbonates, and global warming. In theory, this rapid carbon release should ha...
