Abstract:
High resolution oxygen isotope analysis of samples from two different Eocene Oligocene Boundary (EOB) sections of Wagapadhar and Waior of Kutch area and their correlation with DSDP sites indicate continuity of sedimentation at these sites. A rapid cooling of -6 degrees C across the EOB, synchronous with extinction of Eocene larger benthic foraminifera, is also observed.
