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...
