Foraminiferal Elemental and Isotope Ratios from the PETM in the Southern Tethys

Abdelhamid M. Salman published a 24.0 KB Excel dataset on figshare in May 2026. The data provides a template for understanding multi-stressor interactions and biotic resilience during rapid hyperthermal events. It contains elemental and isotope ratios from foraminiferal and bulk carbonate samples collected on the southern Tethyan shelf.

Use Cases

• Modeling multi-stressor interactions during hyperthermal events based on the described elemental and isotope ratios.
• Assessing biotic resilience to rapid climate change based on the foraminiferal data.
• Calibrating paleoclimate proxies for the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) based on the southern Tethyan shelf samples.
• Comparing past hyperthermal events to modern anthropogenic forcing scenarios based on the study's stated implications.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File is provided in the widely compatible XLSX format.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 24.0 KB file size indicates a very limited scope of data.
