Angstadt, D. M.; Austin, J. A., Jr.; Buffler, R. T. (1983): Deep-sea erosional unconformity in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. Geological Society of America (GSA), Boulder, CO, United States, Geology (Boulder), 11 (4), 215-218, georefid:1983-041924

Abstract:
Multichannel seismic data and DSDP well information. Corresponding to a 44 to 38.5 m.y. B.P. hiatus, the unconformity was apparently produced by the bottom effects of wind-driven surface currents (paleo-Florida Current) and gravitational mass movements capable of scouring the slope. Intensification of these sedimentary processes may have been related to global cooling and a reported drop in sea level in the late Eocene, but it may also have been part of a complex global response to a postulated Paleogene meteorite impact.--Modified journal abstract.
