The main discrepancy concerns the position of the boundary between planktonic foraminiferal Zones P9 (=E7, approximately) and P10 (=E8, approximately), which was thought to occur within calcareous nannofossil Subzone CP12a and at the boundary between magnetic polarity Chrons C22n and C21r. However, in the differing correlation scheme the boundary between Zones P9 (=E7) and P10 (=E8) occurs close to the base of Subzone CP13a and to the boundary between Chrons C21n and C20r. An attempt at a new Ypresian-Lutetian boundary biomagnetochronology is made based on data from the Gorrondatxe section, which shows that the boundary between Zones P9 (=E7) and P10 (=E8) is 3.1 Myr younger than hitherto considered. Therefore, the duration of the early Eocene, most commonly defined according to this planktonic foraminiferal zonal boundary, has generally been underestimated over the last four decades.completedStratigraphyalgaeassemblagesAtlantic OceanBasque Provinces SpainbiostratigraphybiozonesCenozoicDemerara RiseEoceneEquatorial AtlanticEuropeForaminiferaGorrondatxe BeachIberian PeninsulaInvertebrataLeg 207Leg 208lithostratigraphylower EoceneLutetianmagnetostratigraphymicrofossilsmiddle EocenenannofossilsNorth AtlanticNorthwest AtlanticOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 1258ODP Site 1263Paleogeneplanktonic taxaPlantaeProtistaPyreneesSopela SpainSouth AtlanticSouthern EuropeSpainSpanish PyreneesTertiaryWalvis RidgeWest AtlanticYpresianurn:org.iodp:exp:207urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:208urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:207:site:1258urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:207urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:208:site:1263urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:208urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-54.44002.4700-28.320043.2300
