“…More nearshore accounts were established for the Danish (Dybkjaer et al, 2021) and Dutch North Sea area (Munsterman and Brinkhuis, 2004), but these are even less well calibrated compared to the oceanic records. For the Paleogene, an extensive range of North Atlantic and North Sea dinocyst events has been documented (e.g., Mudge and Bujak, 1994;Bujak, 1996a, 1996b;Bujak and Brinkhuis, 1998;Eldrett et al, 2004;Eldrett and Harding, 2009;Eldrett et al, 2019;Vieira et al, 2020), many of which, notably Eocene and younger, are well calibrated against magnetostratigraphy, nannofossil, and foraminifer datums (e.g., Eldrett et al, 2004Eldrett et al, , 2019. The various transient, globally approximately synchronous, stable carbon isotope excursions provide tight constraints on the absolute and relative datums of dinocyst events, notably during the early Paleogene hyperthermals, including the PETM (Crouch et al, 2001;Sluijs and Brinkhuis, 2009;Harding et al, 2011;Kender et al, 2012).…”
