Fig. 3: Carbon isotope correlation of two sites with Svalbard core BH9/05.
From: Paleocene/Eocene carbon feedbacks triggered by volcanic activity
The δ13C of both organic carbon (δ13Corg) and inorganic carbonate (δ13Ccarbonate) from North Sea well site E−8X (this study) and Bass River38, are correlated to Svalbard core BH9/05 (ref. 40) based on the overall shape of the records, with particular emphasis on the carbon isotope excursion (CIE) inflection points during the rapid onset and gradual recovery phases. The relative age model is based on two proposed solutions for cyclostratigraphy of core BH9/05 (ref. 40). Bass River core depth in metres below the surface (mbs).
