The Stable Isotope Stratigraphy and Paleosols of North Americas Most Southern Exposure of Late Paleocene/Early Eocene Fosssiliferous Continental Deposits: Documenting the Initial Eocene Thermal Maximum in Big Bend National Park, Texas

A chemostratigraphic section across the Paleocene/Eocene boundary, using the stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen, has been developed for North America's most southern exposure of early Paleogene continental deposits in which the boundary is constrained by fossil mammals. A negative carbon excu...
