REASSESSMENT OF THE EARLY–MIDDLE EOCENE PLANKTIC FORAMINIFERAL BIO-MAGNETOCHRONOLOGY: NEW EVIDENCE FROM THE TETHYAN POSSAGNO SECTION (NE ITALY) AND WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ODP SITE 1051
We examined a planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphic record from the Tethyan Possagno section (Venetian Prealps of northeastern Italy) spanning the lower–middle Eocene transition, from Chron C24r to the base of Chron C20r and from Zones E1 to lower E8. Our results provide an updated magnetochronolo...
