The early Cenozoic marine carbon isotopic record is marked by a long-term shift from high d13C values in the late Paleocene to values that are 2 to 3 lower in the early Eocene. The shift is recorded in fossil carbonates from each ocean basin and represents a large change in the distribution of 12C b...
