Paleoclimate of the Late Oligocene Arctic Ocean: Molluscan Isotopic and Biotic Evidence
Molluscan isotopic and biotic evidence was used to determine the paleotemperature of the Late Oligocene Arctic Ocean during an important period of climate change. Mollusks were collected from the Nuwok Member type section on the Arctic coast of Alaska. A systematic analysis was conducted to determin...
