Paleogene time scale miscalibration: Evidence from the dating of the North Atlantic igneous province

Jolley et al. (2002) have proposed that the date of the Paleocene - Eocene thermal maximum is ca. 60 Ma, at least 5 m.y. older than currently estimated and, as a result, argue that the Paleogene time scale of Berggren et al. (1995) is grossly miscalibrated. The implications of this proposal are impl...
