摘要

Events surrounding the Eocene-Oligocene boundary are considered to be the most recent transition from greenhouse to icehouse conditions. The significance of global cooling,associated with the onset of Antarctic glaciation across the E/O transition, was first documented by Kennett et al. (1975) and is now recognized as one of the largest climate transitions in the Cenozoic (Zachos et al., 2008). Here, we present new calcareous nannofossil assemblage data from the Mossy Grove core, Mississippi, which contains the Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT). The study shows that calcareous nannofossils in the Mossy Grove core are very well preserved and abundant. Assigning an exact position to the E/O boundary is difficult, due to the rare occurrence of the planktic foraminiferal marker Hantkenina. The consistent presence of Coccolithus formosus up to a major lithological change at the top of the Yazoo Clay indicates that all of this section is within nannofossil Zone NP21 or older. The tops of both Discoaster saipanensis and Discoaster barbadiensis at 164' indicates that the EOT occurs between 164' and 55'. Nannofossil abundance patterns are also consistent with the EOT in this interval, which has a sudden drop in the abundance of several species. Pilot TEX86 and planktic foraminiferal isotope data demonstrate the links that exist between surface ocean temperature changes and calcareous nannofossil assemblages.
