Timing of the deposition of the Claret Conglomerate correlated to the thermal maximum at the Paleocene-Eocene boundary, Southern Pyrenees -Spain

As a result of the injection of massive amounts of carbon, the Paleocene-Eocene boundary is characterized by an abrupt rise in global temperature. The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is coincided with a drastic change in sediments and a negative Carbon Isotope Excursion (CIE). Given the recent issues of global warming, with a changing...
