A rapid sedimentary response to the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum hydrological change : New data from alluvial units of the Tremp-Graus Basin (Spanish Pyrenees)
A massive emission of light carbon about 56 Ma, recorded in marine and terrestrial sediments by a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE), caused a short-lived (~170 kyr) global warming event known as the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). The onset and core of this event is represented in the south Pyrenean Tremp-Graus Basin by two successive alluvial units, the Claret Conglomerate (CC) and
