Calcium carbonate contents and carbon and oxygen isotope compositions of bulk carbonate, ODP Leg 165 sediments

Listed in PANGAEA and DataCite — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.1594/pangaea.712928

Two recently drilled Caribbean sites contain expanded sedimentary records of the late Paleocene thermal maximum, a dramatic global warming event that occurred at ca. 55 Ma.

Description

The records document significant environmental changes, including deep-water oxygen deficiency and a mass extinction of deep-sea fauna, intertwined with evidence for a major episode of explosive volcanism. We postulate that this volcanism initiated a reordering of ocean circulation that resulted in rapid global warming and dramatic changes in the Earth's environment.
