Geochemical records (d13C, TOC, XRF, SEM, total sulfur, molybdenum isotopes, clay mineralogy) from marine sediment core E-8X, central North Sea, across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum ...
Sedimentary marine core E-8X (Longitude 4.98° Latitude 55.63°) was originally recovered in the Danish Sector of the North Sea by Maersk Oil & Gas, and the well was spudded and completed in 1994. The resulting sedimentary cores are stored at GEUS (Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland). The...

| Summary: | Sedimentary marine core E-8X (Longitude 4.98° Latitude 55.63°) was originally recovered in the Danish Sector of the North Sea by Maersk Oil & Gas, and the well was spudded and completed in 1994. The resulting sedimentary cores are stored at GEUS (Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland). The section of core E-8X that was used for this study is 6 m long (from 2027 to 2021 m composite depth) and encompasses the Lista Formation (uppermost Ve Member and Bue Member) and the Sele Formation (lower part), corresponding to the uppermost Paleocene and lowermost Eocene. The core was sampled and analysed between 2016 and 2020 to reconstruct paleoenvironmental changes during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), including carbon cycle disruption, bottom water redox changes and water circulation. This collection comprises ẟ13Corg and total organic carbon (TOC) data, relative abundances of various oxides via conventional and portable XRF analysis, clay mineralogy, SEM investigations on pyrite framboid ... |
