Carbon isotope excursion at Paleocene–Eocene transition in Jaisalmer Basin, western Rajasthan, India

A negative carbon isotope excursion at Paleocene–Eocene boundary in Jaisalmer Basin has been recognized for the first time. Besides excursion at P–E transition, short but significant negative carbon isotope shift has also been observed preceding the Paleocene–Eocene thermal maximum (PETM). The study...

Zusammenfassung:A negative carbon isotope excursion at Paleocene–Eocene boundary in Jaisalmer Basin has been recognized for the first time. Besides excursion at P–E transition, short but significant negative carbon isotope shift has also been observed preceding the Paleocene–Eocene thermal maximum (PETM). The study discusses the possible mechanism for PETM and pre-CIE warm conditions in Jaisalmer Basin, India.
