The Paleocene/Eocene (P/E) boundary interval is the most significant climatic transition during the Cenozoic, when the PETM (Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum) caused rapid warming and severe fluctuation of the Earth system, especially in marine settings. The SW Tarim Basin represents a distal branch...
