The Terche section, located in the Venetian Prealps of northeastern Italy, is an expanded upper Paleocene-lower Eocene succession deposited in a bathyal setting of a continental margin of the central-western Tethys. This section contains three well-exposed and expanded marly-clay units (MUs) corresponding to intervals of negative carbon isotope excursions (CIEs). Calcareous plankton biostratigraphy allow us to correlate them to hyperthermal events ETM2 (or H1;~ 53.7 Ma), H2 (~ 53.6 Ma) and I1(~ 53.3 Ma). We present the response of planktic foraminfieral assemblages to these early Eocene events.

Abstract
The Terche section, located in the Venetian Prealps of northeastern Italy, is an expanded upper Paleocene-lower Eocene succession deposited in a bathyal setting of a continental margin of the central-western Tethys. This section contains three well-exposed and expanded marly-clay units (MUs) corresponding to intervals of negative carbon isotope excursions (CIEs). Calcareous plankton biostratigraphy allow us to correlate them to hyperthermal events ETM2 (or H1;~ 53.7 Ma), H2 (~ 53.6 Ma) and I1(~ 53.3 Ma). We present the response of planktic foraminfieral assemblages to these early Eocene events.File in questo prodotto:
