Detailed, stratigraphically well-constrained environmental reconstructions are available for Paleocene and Eocene strata at a range of sites in the southwest Pacific Ocean (New Zealand and East Tasman Plateau; ETP) and Integrated Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1356 in the south of the Australo-Antarctic Gulf (AAG). These reconstructions have revealed a large discrepancy between temperature proxy data and climate models in this region, suggesting a crucial error in model, proxy data or both. To resolve the origin of this discrepancy, detailed reconstructions are needed from both sides of the Tasmanian Gateway. Paleocene-Eocene sedimentary archives from the west of the Tasmanian Gateway have unfortunately remained scarce (only IODP Site U1356), and no well-dated successions are available for the northern sector of the AAG. Here we present new stratigraphic data for upper Paleocene and lower Eocene strata from the Otway Basin, southeast Australia, on the (north)west side of the Tasmanian Gateway. We ... : Supplement to: Frieling, Joost; Huurdeman, Emiel P; Rem, Charlotte C M; Donders, Timme H; Pross, Jörg; Bohaty, Steven M; Holdgate, Guy R; Gallagher, Stephen John; McGowran, Brian; Bijl, Peter K (2018): Identification of the Paleocene?Eocene boundary in coastal strata in the Otway Basin, Victoria, Australia.
