Abstract

The Palaeocene/Eocene boundary (P/EB) and the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (55.8Ma) are defined stratigraphically based on carbon isotope ratios of various materials. Here, the position of the P/EB is refined in the terrestrial-lacustrine and swampy Vasterival section (Upper Normandy coast, France) by using carbon isotopes measured on dispersed organic matter (δ ¹³C _org). Moreover, nitrogen isotopes on dispersed organic matter (δ ¹⁵N _org) are, for the first time in the Palaeogene record, associated with carbon isotope and lithological data to constrain palaeoclimatic and environmental changes around the P/EB in a terrestrial environment. Humid-dry fluctuations before and during this key interval in Earth history are suggested.
