The Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT) marked the initiation of large-scale Antarctic glaciation. This fundamental change in Cenozoic climate state is recorded in deep-sea sediments by a rapid benthic foraminiferal δ18O increase and appearance of ice-rafted debris in the Southern Ocean. However, we k...
