Abstract
Globally increased temperatures and a perturbation of the carbon cycle and biosphere characterized the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum about 55.9 million years ago, but its effect on ocean productivity is controversial. Records of marine barite accumulation rates suggest that carbon sequestration during the event could have been enhanced by an efficient biological pump.
