Continental shelf sediments along the northeast continental margin of North America contain
a magnetofossil‐rich interval deposited during the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum …

Abstract The Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM,∼ 56 Ma) presents a past
analog for future global warming. Previous studies provided evidence for major loss of …

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

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

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is one of the most severe climatic events
of the Cenozoic Era. A massive injection of light carbon into the oceans and atmosphere …

Magnetic properties of pelagic marine sediments that record the Middle Eocene Climatic
Optimum (MECO) at~ 40 Ma provide information about major environmental changes. The …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), sensitive to redox status, leave fossil bacterial magnetite
(magnetofossils) in sediments. The relative contents of cuboctahedral, elongated prismatic …

Paleomagnetic data from pelagic sediments are an important source of information on the
history of the geomagnetic field. However, fundamental uncertainties about how these …

The Middle Eocene (37 to 49 million years ago, Ma) was characterised by warmer global
temperatures and higher atmospheric carbon dioxide (pCO2) levels than today with only …
