Description:
Here we provide extensive micropaleontological and geochemical dataset of shallow-marine deposits that includes palynology and palynomorph component, carbonate fine-fraction stable-isotope, benthic foraminiferal stable-isotope, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) data. Samples were originally collected from the Mossy Grove core, nearby Jackson, central Mississippi, US Gulf Coastal Plain, between August 19, 1991 and September 5, 1991 (Dockery III et al., 1991). The dataset was generated between October 2015 and June 2019 and covers the latest Eocene and earliest Oligocene (~37.5-33.1 million years ago). These data were intended to yield unique multi-proxy records of the critical Eocene-Oligocene Transition, the most prominent climate event in the last 100 million years of Earth's history. Methods for age model, palynology and palynomorph component, carbonate fine-fraction stable-isotope, benthic foraminiferal stable-isotope, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) data follow De Lira Mota et al. (in review).
