Statement

Using light microscopy (LM) we imaged and measured 1173 fossil coccospheres from across the PETM interval. Coccosphere images were collected from Bass River onshore Ocean Drilling Program core, New Jersey, Lodo Gulch, central California, Kilwa, Tanzania Drilling Project Site 14, and Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Site 401 in the Bay of Biscay. Biometric measurements were made on images taken under crossed polarised light at x1600 magnification, with a colour digital camera (Olympus DP71), using CellD software supported by Olympus. Three biometric parameters of the coccospheres (fossil and modern) were measured: 1. the number of coccoliths comprising each coccosphere (CN), 2. external coccosphere diameter including coccoliths (Ø), and, 3. coccolith size, which was measured from the tube cycle and converted to coccolith length (CL).
