Figure F19. The Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) sections on Shatsky Rise. Onset of event is recognized by major changes in carbonate content and preservation (confirmed by the presence of bulk sediment carbon isotope excursion). The PETM at Site 1208 is recognized by preservational change and is confirmed by bulk sediment carbon isotope stratigraphy and nannofossil biostratigraphy (Bown, this volume). Sites are organized by present (and paleo) water depth.
