    Description: At least two transient events of extreme global warming occurred superimposed on the long-term latest Paleocene and early Eocene warming trend in the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) (or ETM1 ~55.5 Ma) and the Elmo (or ETM2 ~53.6 Ma). Other than warmth, the best known PETM is characterized by (1) significant injection of 13C-depleted carbon into the ocean-atmosphere system, (2) deep-sea carbonate dissolution, (3) strong biotic responses, and (4) perturbations of the hydrological cycle. Documentation of the other documented and suspected "hyperthermals" is, as yet, insufficient to assess whether they are similar in nature to the PETM. Here we present and discuss biomagnetostratigraphic data and geochemical records across two lower Eocene successions deposited on a continental margin of the western Tethys: the Farra and Possagno sections in the Venetian pre-Alps. We recognize four negative carbon isotope excursions within chron C24. Three of these shifts correlate to known or suspected hyperthermals: the PETM, the Eocene thermal maximum 2 (~53.6 Ma), and the informally named "X event" (~52.5 Ma). The fourth excursion lies within a reverse subchron and occurred between the latter two. In the Farra section, the X event is marked by a ~0.6% negative carbon isotope excursion and carbonate dissolution. Furthermore, the event exhibits responses among calcareous nannofossils, planktic foraminifera, and dinoflagellates that are similar to, though less intense than, those observed across the PETM. Sedimentological and quantitative micropaleontological data from the Farra section also suggest increased weathering and runoff as well as sea surface eutrophication during this event.

    Description: The Valle di Manche (VdM) section represents one of the best-documented on-land marine records of the Early to Middle (E/M) Pleistocene transition available to date. Accordingly, the VdM succession is among the few appropriate candidates to host the GSSP of the Middle Pleistocene (“Ionian”) Stage. In particular, the VdM section uniquely documents the Matuyama-Brunhes magnetic reversal (mid-MIS 19), which is agreed to be the main criterion for defining the chronostratigraphic position of the base of the Middle Pleistocene. The section also yields a wide range of chronological, paleoclimatic and stratigraphic data sets that allow long-distance correlation with both marine and terrestrial reference records. Notably, the stratigraphy across the MIS 19 interglacial is greatly expanded, permitting a precise and detailed investigation of this critical interval. The section is also easy to reach, and fortunately the exposure is destined to persist. Therefore, the section fulfills the essential requirements to host the GSSP for the “Ionian” Stage and Middle Pleistocene Subseries. We suggest that the GSSP be placed at the base of the “Pitagora ash”, a prominent bed that occurs in mid-MIS 19, close to the MatuyamaeBrunhes magnetic reversal. Here, we present and discuss scientific information gathered in the past two decades, and give a preliminary account of the work to which we are presently committed, that aims at improving our knowledge on the VdM section.
