New rock magnetic results (thermal fluctuation tomography, high-resolution first-order
reversal curves and low temperature measurements) for samples from the Paleocene …

The Paleocene–Eocene boundary (∼ 55.8 million years ago) is marked by an abrupt
negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE) that coincides with an oxygen isotope decrease …

Near-shore marine sediments deposited during the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum
at Wilson Lake, NJ, contain abundant conventional and giant magnetofossils. We find that …

Previous workers identified a magnetically anomalous clay layer deposited on the northern
United States Atlantic Coastal Plain during the Paleocene‐Eocene thermal maximum …

Fe‐oxide and Fe‐sulfide trace minerals in sediments and sedimentary rocks provide proxy
records of biogeochemical processes, record past variations in the geomagnetic field, and …

Magnetic hysteresis measurements of sediments have resulted in widespread reporting of
“pseudo‐single‐domain”‐like magnetic properties. In contrast, the ideal single domain (SD) …

The Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum, which occurred∼ 55.5 Ma, was caused by a
massive release of carbon, as indicated by an∼ 3‰ negative carbon isotope excursion …

Identification of the mineral remains of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), known as
magnetofossils, is of particular interest because their occurrence can be used for …

Magnetotactic bacteria produce intracellular crystals of magnetite or greigite, the properties
of which have been shaped by evolution to maximize the magnetic moment per atom of iron …

Conventional magnetofossils represent magnetic mineral remains of magnetotactic bacteria.
Giant magnetofossils have no known modern analog. Both conventional and giant …
