Short summary
This study examines deepwater deposits within the Gulf of Mexico (USA) that record an episode of pronounced global warming that occurred ∼56 million years ago. We show that the supply of sand and silt into the basin shut off after a delay of about 30 000 years, followed by an influx of clay derived from deep erosion of central North America. Our results are consistent with other studies that indicate rapid sea-level rise, ocean acidification, and decreased oxygen during this warming event
