Deep-time sea-level changes associated with the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
(PETM) are of great interest to paleoceanographers and paleontologists, especially in
shallow marine settings, like the Atlantic Coastal Plain PETM sections of the Eastern North
American Continental Shelf. Accurate paleo-water depth reconstruction is essential to
properly interpret and contextualize any PETM-associated paleoceanographic and
paleoecological changes that are depth-dependent. In addition, our understanding on …
