Extreme Paleocene-Eocene Sea-level fluctuations in The Gulf of Mexico: Part II

A PowerPoint presentation by Josh Rosenfeld and Jim Pindell presented at North American Explorationists Dinner Meeting, November 2003.
 
A provocative hypothesis that presents evidence for a major sea-level fall in the Paleogene Gulf of Mexico.  Tectonic interaction in the eastern Gulf of Mexico is cited as cause for isolation of the Gulf from the Atlantic resulting in evaporation and draw-down.
 
Part II explains the effects of isolation and is followed by Part III:  the effects of re-connection and preceeded by Part I:  the case for isolation
