The BC concentrations and δ13C records across the PETM interval for the Xilutian section of the Fushun Basin and the Bass River site (New Jersey, ODP Leg 174AX).

Caption

(a) δ13CTOC record for the Xilutian section. (b) δ13CBC record for the Xilutian section. (c) BC/TOC ratio for the Xilutian section. The gray shadow represents the PETM event. (d) BC concentration for the Bass River site (New Jersey, ODP Leg 174AX). (e) The δ13C record for the Bass River site, with green dots representing the foraminiferal δ13C record and black dots representing the δ13CBC record. The dashed line corresponds to the peak of the carbon isotope excursion in the foraminiferal record.
