Authors:

Abstract and Figures

Paleotemperature proxy data form the cornerstone of paleoclimate research and are integral to understanding the evolution of the Earth system across the Phanerozoic Eon. Here, we present PhanSST, a database containing over 150,000 data points from five proxy systems that can be used to estimate past sea surface temperature. The geochemical data have a near-global spatial distribution and temporally span most of the Phanerozoic. Each proxy value is associated with consistent and queryable metadata fields, including information about the location, age, and taxonomy of the organism from which the data derive. To promote transparency and reproducibility, we include all available published data, regardless of interpreted preservation state or vital effects. However, we also provide expert-assigned diagenetic assessments, ecological and environmental flags, and other proxy-specific fields, which facilitate informed and responsible reuse of the database. The data are quality control checked and the foraminiferal taxonomy has been updated. PhanSST will serve as a valuable resource to the paleoclimate community and has myriad applications, including evolutionary, geochemical, diagenetic, and proxy calibration studies.

Background & Summary
Geochemical proxy temperature data from ancient oceans are a key component of paleoclimate research13.
High-resolution paleotemperature data from a single site can identify both long-term4,5 and orbital-scale6,7 cli-
mate variability, while multi-site comparisons from a given time slice provide insight into the spatial patterns
of past climate change812. Additionally, such data are essential for validating Earth system models (ESMs)1316
and provide critical context for rst-order temporal trends in other aspects of the Earth system, including evolu-
tion17,18, geochemical cycling19,20, and tectonics21,22. While single-proxy data sets that span the Phanerozoic2325
and multi-proxy compilations for select time slices810,15 exist, a comprehensive, multi-proxy database of temper-
ature data spanning the Phanerozoic has yet to be published.
PhanSST, a database of sea surface temperature (SST) proxy data spanning the Phanerozoic Eon, seeks to ll
this gap. e compilation currently contains 150,691 discrete proxy values, which can be used to estimate past
SST. ese data come from ve dierent proxies, amassed from 660 references, and represent more than 1,600
unique sampling locations. Each proxy value is associated with a suite of consistent and queryable metadata
elds, and the database is available in a machine-readable format. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest
compilation of Phanerozoic paleotemperature proxy data to date. Our intention is to make PhanSST a living
database, growing, improving, and evolving through time. Accordingly, we encourage the paleoclimate commu-
nity to contribute their published data to the compilation going forward.
In addition to the initial purpose of the compilation outlined below, PhanSST is an invaluable resource to
the paleoclimate community and can be used for a wide range of additional applications, including evolution-
ary and geochemical studies. e spatial and temporal reach of PhanSST facilitates paleoclimatic syntheses,
including studies investigating climate sensitivity, the biotic and geochemical impacts of climate change, and the
mechanisms driving large-scale global climate. e data are presented in their native proxy units, which permits
exibility in the choice of calibration model and additionally enables the compilation to be used in proxy cali-
bration studies. Further, PhanSST includes data from known and suspected diagenetically altered material, with
both expert-assigned binary diagenesis ags and additional metadata elds, allowing the database to be used in
research investigating spatial and temporal trends in preservation.
Version 0.0.1 of PhanSST is presented in a tabular (csv) format. A static copy of Version 0.0.1 is archived in
the NOAA-NCEI Paleoclimatology Database (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/study/36813)26,
and dynamic versions of the most recent release can be found on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/
zenodo.7049233)27 and at the PhanSST website (https://www.paleo-temperature.org). In the following sec-
tions, we provide information regarding the data sources and selection criteria, review the denitions and
decision-making behind the metadata elds associated with each proxy measurement, and outline the quality
control process. We explore the broad spatial and temporal trends of the compilation, discuss future usage and
limitations of the data set, and address the ongoing goals for the database to ensure that it remains a valuable
asset to the paleoclimate community.
Methods
What is the primary purpose of the compilation? The PhanSST database is a part of the broader
PhanTASTIC (Phanerozoic Technique Averaged Surface Temperature Integrated Curve) initiative28, which aims
to produce an internally consistent and statistically robust record of Earth’s global mean surface temperature over
the last 539 million years. Ultimately, these data will be integrated with ESMs29 using data assimilation10,30 to recon-
struct relevant global climate elds and calculate the global mean surface temperature at the geochronologic age
(i.e., stage) level across the Phanerozoic. Requisite to this goal is a compendium of paleotemperature proxy data.
PhanSST is a community-wide, collaborative eort. Each of the authors of this data descriptor contributed
their time and expertise, entering data and quality control checking the records. Despite the more focused pri-
mary purpose of the compilation, we want to ensure that PhanSST will serve as a community-wide resource. e
curated metadata elds, therefore, reect a desire to maximize potential reuse of the database.
Why geochemical SST proxy data? We focused on compiling geochemical SST proxy data for several
reasons. First, the ocean comprises approximately 70% of the Earth’s surface, and SST proxies provide better
long-term temporal coverage and generally more precise age control than terrestrial records due to more continu-
ous deposition in marine environments. Second, the proxy types in PhanSST can be readily converted from proxy
values into temperature units using established calibration models that propagate errors and account for seasonal
biases3136. ird, terrestrial air temperature proxies are a function of elevation and lapse rate, making inter-
pretations of terrestrial data dependent upon paleogeographic and paleoaltimetric assumptions that are poorly
constrained in deep time. SST proxies are still subject to assumptions, such as seawater chemistry, seasonality
and depth of production, and temporal uniformity of proxy systems34,35,37, and interpretations can be sensitive to
the inuence of plate movement or shis in surface current positions38,39. However, the comparative richness of
the marine record generally makes identifying anomalous sites or entries more straightforward. While beyond
the scope of our current eorts, we hope that in the near future a parallel compilation of terrestrial temperature
proxies will be developed.
Which SST proxy data? PhanSST included data from ve SST proxies:oxygen isotopes of macro- and
microfossil carbonate (δ18Ocarbonate), oxygen isotopes of conodont phosphate (δ18Ophosphate), magnesium to calcium
ratios (Mg/Ca) of planktonic foraminifera, the tetraether index of 86 carbons (TEX86), and the alkenone unsatu-
ration ratio (
UK
37
). While we did also collect marine carbonate clumped isotope data (Δ47), those data are not
included in the current release (Version 0.0.1) of PhanSST. Although laboratory-specic Δ47-temperature calibra-
tions are robust, interlaboratory dierences in the way Δ47 data have been corrected raise concerns over the
compatibility of the isotope values themselves40. Since PhanSST presents proxy values, rather than

paleotemperature estimates, we opted to omit the Δ47 data for now. With that said, a newly proposed reference
frame40 oers a promising way forward and we hope to include these data in the near future.
All of the proxy data included in the database have been previously published in peer-reviewed journal
articles, theses and dissertations, book chapters, or public repositories (e.g., PANGAEA)47,24,41695; the data-
base does not include any unpublished data. e proxy values themselves, dominantly derive from either data
tables contained within the original journal article, supplements, or public repositories. In general, data locked
in PDF tables were extracted using Tabula (https://tabula.technology). Some dark data and missing metadata
were obtained through personal communication with the original authors and, in very rare instances, data were
digitized from gures. Details regarding the source of dark data can be found in the Quality Control logs (see
Compilation quality-control for log availability).
PhanSST expands upon several existing compilations. e majority of oxygen isotope values from carbonate
macrofossils come from Grossman and Joachimski23 and the initial references of phosphate oxygen isotope
values mostly derive from Grossman and Joachimski23 and Song et al.25. Likewise, many of the Cretaceous data
were originally collated by O’Brien et al.696, Paleogene data by Hollis et al.8 and Evans et al.697, and Pliocene data
by McClymont et al.9. To the extent possible, data sourced from these compilations were cross-checked with
their initial publications to ensure completeness and avoid propagating any unintentional errors, and missing
data or applicable metadata elds were lled in. e remaining data in PhanSST were scoured from the liter-
ature by the authors, who worked in teams based on their expertise with specic proxies and geologic time
intervals. We used keyword queries in Google Scholar to identify missing references, and eorts were made to
target literature from data-poor regions (e.g., South America) and time intervals (e.g., Silurian). While (quasi-)
automated data discovery and entry methods show promise as a means of maximizing database completion and
minimizing bias698, given the broad nature of data sources and formats, such an approach was not tenable here.
Selection criteria varied slightly by proxy and time interval. anks to the initiatives of the International
Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) and its predecessors, late Mesozoic and Cenozoic SST data are plentiful and
data derived from cores oen consist of high-resolution time series. In this case, we focused on compiling time
series spanning at least one million years, recognizing that Quaternary data, for example, are compiled in more
detail in other works699,700. Exceptions to this rule were made for data from undersampled regions (e.g., the
Southern Ocean) or time periods (e.g., the Paleocene). In contrast to the high data density of the Cenozoic, data
fromthe early Mesozoic and Paleozoic are comparatively scarce. Several proxies, such as
UK
37
, TEX86, and
foraminiferal-based records are limited to more recent times, and almost all ocean crust older than ~180 Ma has
been recycled through subduction701, removing a key sampling environment. As such, data availability is
restricted by outcrop exposure, subject to more frequent and larger unconformities, and limited to fossiliferous
horizons. Compared to core data, these records generally contain fewer measurements per site, lack a continu-
ous time series, and have less precise age control or report relative rather than numeric ages. erefore, we
incorporated all available Paleozoic and Mesozoic proxy data, regardless of record duration. We did, however,
require that all sites provide some level of age control; data that could not be assigned a relative age at the stage
level were excluded.
Which metadata elds are included and why? e metadata elds included in PhanSST reect a bal-
ance between the scope of the PhanTASTIC project and our intention to maximize the reuse potential of the
database. Metadata elds were carefully curated to facilitate future updates to age models and proxy-, species- or
methodological-specic corrections. For example, core information, sampling depth, and biostratigraphic infor-
mation are included, permitting age model updates. On the other hand, we do not list age uncertainties because
(1) age uncertainties are not consistently reported in the source publications, (2) it was not tractable to update all
age models to a consistent timescale, and (3) the PhanTASTIC project focuses on temperature evolution at the
stage level. Since we strive to make PhanSST a living database, we anticipate that updated age models, with uncer-
tainties, may be added at a later date with assistance from the paleoclimate community.
To ensure a comprehensive and methodologically traceable compilation, we also opted to include diagenet-
ically altered samples. Some samples can condently be characterized as altered; however, diagenetic processes
are gradual and criteria for what constitutes diagenetically altered material can be subjective and may change as
new insights into diagenetic processes are gained. Consequently, rather than excluding such data, we have: (1)
applied an expert-assigned binary diagenesis ag to make it clear which samples have been previously suggested
or interpreted as altered, and (2) included relevant supplementary elds, such as elemental concentrations702
and conodont color alteration index (CAI) values703, allowing users to impose their own informed diagenetic
assessments. is approach ensures that all data are available for future studies that may wish to adopt dierent
alteration criteria or explore the spatial and temporal patterns of diagenesis.
Which metadata elds are excluded and why? e metadata elds currently provided have been care-
fully selected to help end users make informed decisions of which data to include in analyses and how best to
correct them. However, two key metadata elds are omitted from PhanSST: paleotemperature estimates and
paleocoordinates. ough we acknowledge that these elds are of particular interest, this was done deliberately to
promote responsible and intentional reuse of the database.
Estimating SSTs from the proxy values involves applying and inverting a statistical model of how each proxy
responds to environmental parameters; it is therefore a derived or modeled quantity subject to user-based deci-
sions about how to treat each proxy system. In order to estimate SST for each of the more than 150,000 data
points, we would need to make executive decisions regarding (1) which calibration to use for each proxy system,
(2) what assumptions to use for non-thermal predictor variables (such as seawater chemistry), and (3) which (if
any) taxon-specic or analytical corrections to apply. For any given proxy, there are a variety of proxy system
models (PSMs) with which to estimate SST. For example, within the TEX86 proxy system, SSTs can be calculated

using the

704, TEX86-linear696, or BAYSPAR31 calibrations, among others, and exploration into region- and
time-specic modications to these calibrations is ongoing (e.g., Steinig et al.574). Holding all else constant, the
dierence in inferred temperatures across these calibrations can exceed 5 °C, and there is no consensus among
the paleoclimate community on the most appropriate calibration(s) to use8,705. In fact, the choice of which cali-
bration is most appropriate can vary based on the time interval and temporal resolution of the study, the taxon
from which the data derive, the geographic breadth of the data, and the types of questions being investigated.
Similarly, in order to calculate SST, many of these proxy systems require assumptions about non-thermal predic-
tor variables (e.g., δ18Oseawater). Relating the proxy values to SST would therefore require decision making about
these seawater chemistry values in the geologic past, which are largely unconstrained. Given the volume of data
contained within PhanSST, these assumptions would need to be based on broad, rst-order principles (e.g., a
standardized δ18Oseawater of 1‰ for ice-free times and 0‰ value during times of glaciation), but such simpli-
cations are incorrect (e.g., we observe a >5‰ spatial spread in values in the modern ocean706, a nuance that is
wholly overlooked by assuming a single “ice-free” or “glaciated” value). ough there are better ways of estimat-
ing these values (e.g., extracting the local δ18Oseawater values from an isotope-enabled ESM), such methods cannot
be consistently applied across the entire database. And, in fact, the necessary resolution of these assumptions
changes based on the scope of the study. Studies, for example, investigating Phanerozoic trends in oxygen iso-
topes may wish to apply a single calibration to all data points and use simplied assumptions for consistency,
whereas studies investigating a specic time slice (e.g., the Cretaceous), may benet from taking a more intricate
approach (e.g., using taxa-specic PSMs and drawing δ18Oseawater values from ESMs). It is therefore not possible
for us to calculate SSTs for each data point while applying a traceable, scientically sound, and ubiquitously
appropriate methodology. Moreover, it is important that those who wish to calculate SSTs from the proxy data
within PhanSST be fully aware of the decision making (and uncertainty) associated with the various PSMs and
assumptions.
Likewise, we do not include paleogeographic information, which is also a derived quantity based on geophys-
ical models. Here, we plot data using the plate rotation model of Scotese and Wright (2018)707 for illustrative
purposes, since it is one of the few rotations that extends back through the Phanerozoic. However, there are a
variety of dierent plate rotation models available, particularly in more recent time intervals, and the projected
paleocoordinates can vary signicantly based on the rotation model used38. As with the SST estimates, the choice
of which paleorotation is most appropriate to use is dependent upon the application of the data and the temporal
resolution of the study. If, for example, a user is plotting data on existing ESM output, then they will want to use
the same rotation that was used in the simulation so that the paleolongitudes (which are largely unconstrained)
align. Alternatively, if they are testing a hypothesis about the timing or inuence of a specic gateway opening,
they may wish to use several dierent rotations and compare the results. Further, when aligning data in deep
time, the time scale of the study matters, and the choice of time interval with which to align the data will again
be dependent on the scope of the investigation. Time slice studies may wish to rotate all data to the same time
frame (e.g., 56 Ma) despite the fact that the data may span a few million years in either direction. Other studies
looking at changes in ocean dynamics from the same site across a 5-million-year window may wish to rotate
each discrete data point to their precise numeric age. Given the variety of methods for estimating both SST and
paleocoordinates, and the inherent complexity and uncertainty behind those singular discrete values, we believe
that it is important for end users to go through the decision making process themselves to ensure that the values
are best tailored toward their respective application. We do, however, recognize that users who wish to calculate
SSTs or paleocoordinates may benet from guidance. We oer some broad recommendations on how to select
and apply temperature calibrations and rotation models below in the Applying the database in deep time section.
Data Records
In addition to the proxy value itself, each entry is associated with an array of relevant metadata elds, which vary
depending on the nature of the record and the proxy. In total, there are more than 40 metadata elds that can
broadly be grouped into six categories: (1) sample site and other identifying information, (2) age information,
(3) proxy information, (4) taxonomic and environmental information, (5) proxy-specic information, and (6)
reference metadata. Basic descriptions of these elds can be found in Table1 and specics on how and why each
eld is assigned are provided below.
For clarity and consistency while reading this data descriptor, entries refer to each discrete proxy value and
its associated metadata (i.e., a row), elds refer to the metadata collected for each entry (i.e., a column), and
sampling sites refer to the unique geographic coordinates of entries, independent of the number entries from
that location. Unique sampling sites can be parsed temporally (e.g., by stage, period, 2.5 myr bins, etc.), by proxy
type, or a combination of the two.
Sample ID and location elds. e rst eld is the SampleID, which reects the unique (oen alphanu-
meric) identication code associated with each entry, as originally published. Currently, the SampleID eld only
applies to samples collected in outcrop; however, in the future, we plan to also include the unique drill core sample
IDs. e remaining sample site elds provide information on the geographic and stratigraphic position of each
entry. Data that come from drill cores, such as those from IODP, list the SiteName, referencing the expedition
site, and also include sampling depth information (i.e., SiteHole, MBSF, and/or MCD) to allow age models to be
updated in the future. Data collected in outcrop similarly include a SiteName and SampleDepth, as well as the
geologic Formation from which the data were collected, when available.
Each entry is also associated with the modern coordinates of the sampling site (ModLat and ModLon) and
tags indicating the ContinentOcean and Country of collection for easy ltering. For consistency, the coordi-
nates of sample sites were rounded to two decimal degrees. In some cases (predominantly Paleozoic data col-
lected in outcrop and published in older journal articles) precise coordinates were not provided423,483,501. In

Macrostrat708, and occurrence data from the Paleobiology Database709.
Age elds. Six age elds provide information related to the age of each sample, including numeric Age (in
Ma) as well as the Period and Stage, which provide relative age information. We use the chronostratigraphic term
“stage” as a synonym for the geochronologic “age” to mitigate confusion between numeric ages and geochron-
ologic ages. Biostratigraphic information (e.g., conodont zone), when provided, is retained in the Biozone eld,
permitting future age model updates for data collected in outcrop with each new iteration of the Geologic Time
Scale (GTS). We did not divide data from the Holocene Epoch into their respective stages; all data younger than
0.0117 Ma were assigned to the “Holocene” in the Stage eld. Likewise, all data from the unnamed stage of the
Pleistocene were assigned to the “Upper Pleistocene” and all data from the Pridoli Epoch are assigned to the
“Pridoli”.
Given the broad nature of this compilation and the variety of time scales and proxies incorporated, con-
straining entry ages in a consistent and traceable way required a multifaceted approach. Data coming from
IODP cores, for example, oen have higher precision age models tied to sampling depth. In contrast, data from
outcrops are frequently more challenging to date precisely and quantitatively. us, ages were assigned in one
of three ways: by entering a numeric age and auto-lling the relative age information, by entering relative age
information and auto-lling the numeric age information, or by retaining both the manually entered numeric
and relative age information. e AgeFlag eld identies which approach was taken(indicated by a0, 1, or 2,
respectively).
Numeric age assignments with auto-lled relative ages. If the original paper provided a precise numeric age, the
period and stage elds were automatically lled in using age boundaries from GTS 2020710. We made eorts to
use recent drill core age models, but given the size of the data compilation, updating all of the age models was
not feasible. When available, we compiled sampling depth information (i.e., SiteHole, MBSF, and/or MCD) so
that age models may be updated in the future. If the data came from an existing compilation, we deferred to their
reported age unless a more recent age model was readily available. Data with precise numeric ages are denoted
by a zero (0) in the AgeFlag eld.
Relative age assignments with auto-lled numeric age. Some data can only be relatively dated. In the absence
of precise numeric ages, the Stage eld was entered manually. Stage duration is highly variable, with a median
length of 4.65 myr. In general, stage duration scales with availability of material and scientic interest in the time
interval, with a maximum duration of 21.56 myr (Norian) and a minimum of 11.7 kyr (Holocene, though not a
dened stage as discussed above).
e stage assignments are largely based on the divisions reported in the original publication, though some
data points have been updated based on the biostratigraphic information contained in the Biozone eld based
on the divisions in GTS 2020710. Relative ages were further qualied using the StagePosition eld (i.e., early,
middle, or late), if such information was available or could be realistically constrained using the biozonations. A
numeric age was then estimated based on the stage boundaries of GTS 2020710. Entries constrained only at the
stage level were assigned numeric ages based on the arithmetic mean of the upper and lower stage boundaries.
Numeric ages of entries tied to a specic stage position (early, middle, or late) were estimated by dividing the
stage into three equal time slices and assigning a numeric age based on the midpoint of that entry’s respective
third. Data with numeric age assignments extrapolated from relative age information are denoted by a one (1)
in the AgeFlag eld.
Note that assigning ages in this manner means that high(er)-resolution relative time series information is
not retained in the auto-lled numeric ages. For example, in some original publications, authors constructed
their own relative age model and assigned sequential relative ages to stratigraphically successive data points.
However, it was not feasible to convert these relative time series into numeric ages using a consistent and trace-
able methodology. For the purposes of the PhanTASTIC project, stage-level temporal resolution is sucient.
Regardless, stratigraphic position, when available, was recorded in the MBSF, MCD, and/or SampleDepth elds,
which allows users to construct relative time series if desired.
Proxy elds. e four proxy elds consist of the proxy value, the proxy type, value type, and preservation
state. Table2 provides a list of all ProxyType options. ValueType options include: (1) ‘im, indicating the proxy
value represents an individual measurement from an individual specimen, (2) ‘ia, indicating the proxy value
reects the average of replicate measurements from a single individual specimen, and (3) ‘pa, indicating the meas-
urement reects a population average from multiple specimens. All TEX86 and
UK
37
entries, by denition, are listed
a s pa’.
e DiagenesisFlag eld is a binary ag specifying preservation state. We generally deferred to the expert
opinion of the authors responsible for entering and/or quality-control checking the data and were as conserv-
ative as possible, agging both known and suspected alteration. Both δ18O and Mg/Ca foraminiferal data were
agged based on the preservation of the tests themselves (e.g., glassy vs. frosty)466 rather than an assessment of
the delity of the proxy value. Unlike foraminifera, there is currently no method for assessing the preservational
state of the macrofossil δ18Ocarbonate and δ18Ophosphate that is consistently applied across the literature. e diage-
netic ags provided here, therefore, generally reect the interpretation of the original authors. We also agged
any δ18Ocarbonate entries lower than 10‰ as these values would yield unrealistically warm SSTs, suggesting that
either diagenesis or non-marine seawater compositions aected the measurement. We appreciate that diagen-
esis is a spectrum and applying a subjective binary ag both overlooks the nuance of the processes involved
and is inherently not reproducible. To that end, we have also provided additional diagenetic elds specic to

δ18Ocarbonate and δ18Ophosphate data, such as trace and major element ratios and concentrations of macrofossils,
cathodoluminescence assessments, and maximum CAI of conodonts. End users can dene their own diagenetic
thresholds (e.g., Mn/Sr <0.5) and use these elds to consistently lter or ag suspect data.
We have not indicated the preservation state of TEX86 nor
UK
37
entries because although methods for assess-
ing preservation and thermal maturity exist8,711, they are not consistently reported in the literature. Nevertheless,
as with the oxygen isotope data, we have included some proxy-specific fields to help filter TEX86 data for
non-thermal inuences (see below).
Taxonomic and environmental elds. e taxonomic and environmental elds provide information
about the organism from which the proxy data derive (Table3), as well as the depositional environment and ecol-
ogy of the sampled taxon. e Taxon1 eld refers to the rst-order taxonomic aliation of the organism, primar-
ily classied at the phylum level. e Taxon2 eld, applicable only to mollusk δ18Ocarbonate data, further species
the class, and the Taxon3 eld species the binomial species name of the sampled organism, when available. ese
elds help characterize the paleoenvironment from which the data come, permit the compilation to be ltered by
taxon, and contain information pertinent to species-specic calibrations34,35.
While most of the entries in PhanSST are reported as representing SST, in reality very few of the taxa from
which the data derive genuinely lived at the sea surface. Some PSMs, such as BAYSPAR31 for TEX86 and
BAYSPLINE33 for
UK
37
, are based on calibrations between core tops and modern SST, partly (but not completely,
since organisms might migrate vertically through time) alleviating this limitation. However, it can be dicult to
interpret data that come from (1) proxies that do not have modern core top calibrations, (2) extinct taxa, or (3)
intervals with substantially dierent environmental conditions than today that may have promoted vertical
migration within the water column. When available and applicable, we have therefore included metadata per-
taining to the depositional environment of the source material (e.g., marginal, mid-shelf, slope) in the
Environment eld and the lifestyle or depth habitat of the organism in the Ecology eld. e ecology of carbonate
macrofossils and conodonts are classied as either benthic, nektic, planktic, or some combination therein, while
planktic foraminifera are classied as either surface/mixed layer or (sub-)thermocline. ese elds allow users
to easily lter or index entries within the compilation to t their needs. For example, depending on the scope of
the study, it may be germane to lter out benthic brachiopods deposited in slope environments while retaining
brachiopods from inner shelf environments, as they are more likely to record temperatures closer to sea surface
values. Alternatively, comparing data from surface- and thermocline-dwelling species of foraminifera with ben-
thic bivalve data from the same site could elucidate vertical temperature gradients of ancient oceans.
Proxy-specic elds. Certain proxy-specic elds were added to the compilation to permit data correc-
tions, facilitate the implementation of PSMs, aid in diagenetic assessments, and improve the overall utility of
the database. For traceability purposes (i.e., to ensure that our records reect the original data tables) we have
not corrected any of the proxy values, but we do provide the information required to enable a correction. For
example, the δ18O data from both carbonates and phosphates include information about the AnalyticalTechnique
(i.e., IRMS or SIMS), as evidence suggests there may be methodological osets in the isotope values148,712. e
NBS-120c value used to standardize the δ18Ophosphate data is reported in the NBS120c eld. e consensus value of
21.7‰ is now generally applied, but the value of the standard varies signicantly in older literature. Additionally,
in the case of SIMS data, we also report the Durango standard value. Reporting the “uncorrected” published
values, while also specifying the method, permits end-user autonomy of how to treat data derived by dierent
means.
To assist in assessments of sample preservation, we have included available trace, minor, and major element
concentrations and ratios associated with δ18Ocarbonate macrofossil data (e.g., Fe, Mn, Mg, Sr, Sr/Ca, Mg/Ca).
Diagenetic processes yield predictable directional changes to these concentrations and ratios; by comparing fos-
sil values to modern taxon- or site-specic ranges, informed threshold values can thus be used to further assess
the preservation state of samples713,714. For the same reason, when reported, we have also included categorical
diagenetic assessments using cathodoluminescence microscopy702 (CL; L, luminescent; SL, slightly luminescent;
NL, non-luminescent).
When available, δ18Ophosphate entries are associated with the maximum reported conodont color alteration
index (MaximumCAI) value703 for that sample or horizon. Phosphate is generally considered to be more resist-
ant to diagenetic alteration than carbonate, but there remains some debate as to when data from conodont ele-
ments should be considered altered148,312. Inclusion of this eld allows users to impose their own CAI threshold
criteria for assessing preservation or to analyze relationships between isotope values and CAI.

Additional elds are included for foraminiferal Mg/Ca data to provide information needed for using the
Bayesian Mg/Ca forward model, BAYMAG35. Previous studies have demonstrated that Mg/Ca values are
dependent upon both the bottom water calcite saturation state715 () and the cleaning method used prior to
analysis716, and, as such, are included as predictor variables in BAYMAG. All Mg/Ca entries, therefore, include
the water depth of the modern sampling site (ModWaterDepth), which can be used in tandem with the geo-
graphic information to inform paleodepth estimates (and thus constrain ), and a binary CleaningMethod eld
to indicate whether the cleaning omitted (0) or included (1) a reductive step.
TEX86 entries include the fractional abundances of the isoprenoidal glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers
(GDGTs), if available, following the recommendation of Hollis et al.8. Additionally, we have included the
branched and isoprenoid tetraether index717 (BIT), the methane index718 (MI), and the delta ring index719 (ΔRI),
which can all be used to assess the extent to which TEX86 values may be aected by non-thermal factors. ese
elds allow the end-user to screen data by the indices and threshold values of their choice.
Reference metadata. e reference elds contain the publication metadata, including the lead (rst)
author, publication year, and the DOI to the publication where the data were originally reported (PublicationDOI).
We also recognize that many of these data are available in online repositories (e.g., PANGAEA). While Version
0.0.1 of PhanSST only provides the PublicationDOI, in future releases we plan to also utilize the DataDOI to
direct users to any online repository hosting the data. To aid in ease of machine readability, accents and special
characters in the LeadAuthor and other applicable elds were removed. However, the full and unaltered database
citations, including the article title and journal name, can be found in a supplementary Excel (.xlsx) le available
on Zenodo and the PhanSST website.
Technical Validation
Compilation quality-control. Data were quality-control (QC) checked by the authors of this data descrip-
tor. For data deriving from drill cores, we generated a PDF le for each unique sampling site, parsed by the
SiteName and ProxyType elds (Fig.1). e QC PDFs included relevant metadata, such as the reference elds
(LeadAuthor, Year, DOI) and the sample site coordinates. All data for a given site were plotted versus both time
and core depth and colored by reference, with dierent symbols to indicate the DiagenesisFlag and AgeFlag assign-
ments of each data point. QC PDFs of data derived from planktic foraminifera (δ18Ocarbonate and Mg/Ca) contained
plots colored by species. Using shared Google spreadsheets for each proxy, we veried that the information in
each QC PDF matched the publication values, working in teams based on expertise (Fig.2a). Each unique site,
proxy, and reference was evaluated based on a standardized suite of criteria to ensure consistency throughout the
process (Fig.3). ose assisting in the QC process checked boxes to conrm the delity of the journal metadata,
modern coordinates, age model, depth information, proxy value, preservation state, taxa, cleaning method (for
Mg/Ca), and fractional abundances (for TEX86). We corrected any issues identied and maintained a detailed log
of comments, providing a record of our QC process. Links to read-only versions of these QC logs are available on
the PhanSST website and in the “Read Me” documentation on Zenodo.
Given the large number of foraminiferal species in the database and the potential for outdated taxonomy, we
conducted a systematic QC of the listed species. Species names were checked for outdated taxonomic assign-
ments and misspellings (Fig.2b), using databases like Mikrotax. We added an expert-assigned Ecology eld to
help distinguish surface or mixed layer dwelling species from (sub-)thermocline species.
e macrofossil δ18Ocarbonate and δ18Ophosphate data were QC checked separately. ese data generally come
from outcrops, with many studies reporting multiple sampling sites but only a few measurements at each site.
ese dierences inhibited straightforward parsing of the carbonate macrofossil and phosphate records into
site-level QC PDFs, so instead these data were inspected manually. Records were checked by comparing proxy
values and metadata between existing compilations23 and original publications. As with the core data, a detailed
log of the changes made was retained.
In addition to the manual quality-control checks described above, we also performed automated analyses for
each eld to identify any missing or erroneous metadata (available on GitHub; see Code Availability). For exam-
ple, the ModLat and ModLon elds were screened to ensure that latitude and longitude values were in decimal
degrees and fall between 90 to 90 and 180 to 180, respectively. Country names and sample coordinates were
further crosschecked against publicly available country shapeles data, to ensure accuracy and consistency in

the assignment. ContinentOcean assignments were veried by indexing all categorical responses (e.g., NA, North
America; SO, Southern Ocean) and mapping each data point tagged to each respective geographic region. Stage
and period names were compared to the list of accepted names from GTS 2020710, and checked for agreement
between numeric age, period, and stage. We also printed lists of the unique period, stage, proxy type, value type,
and taxonomic names to ensure they each respectively conformed to our accepted convention. Lists of all unique
values for each categorical eld (e.g., ProxyType, ValueType, AnalyticalMethod) were printed to identify any
inconsistencies, and every eld was queried to identify missing values.
General database statistics. Version 0.0.1 of PhanSST contains 150,691 entries, drawn from 660 dierent
references, representing 1,643 unique sampling sites and 93 of the 100 Phanerozoic stages. Of these, 25,782 have
been agged as diagenetically altered, though this ag does not apply to the TEX86 or
UK
37
entries; there remain
nearly 120,000 unagged data points aer applying a conservative screening of these latter proxies to ensure
delity of their values (i.e., excluding TEX86 data whose BIT, MI, or ΔRI values are greater than 0.5 and
UK
37
data
whose paleolatitude is greater than 70°N, since these data are considered compromised by alkenone production
in sea ice33,720,721). Across the database, δ18Ocarbonate data are the most common, constituting over half of all entries
(Table4). is prevalence reects the fact that carbonate oxygen isotope data (1) are the oldest quantitative pale-
otemperature proxy, with its origins dating back to 1947722, (2) represent one of only two SST proxies available
across the entirety of the Phanerozoic, and (3) are commonly measured on foraminifera from drill cores.
However, the δ18Ocarbonate data are commonly aected by diagenesis, with ~30% of the 81,633 entries agged as
altered. Despite their limited temporal availability,
UK
37
data account for a quarter of all entries, and all data, bar-
ring those from regions prone to sea ice, are considered to reect a primary SST signal. e high volume of
UK
37
data is likely a result of the ease of analysis and straightforward relationship between temperature and proxy
value. e remaining three proxies collectively contribute to the remaining quarter of the entries in PhanSST, with
conodont δ18Ophosphate being the least common.
Below, we highlight some of the rst-order spatial and temporal trends in data density, sampling locations,
and proxy values of PhanSST. e syntheses presented illustrate just a small fraction of the spatio-temporal pat-
terns uniquely elucidated by a compilation of this size and demonstrate the potential of the database to facilitate
paleoclimatic, geochemical, and paleoecological research.
Temporal trends in data density. e Cenozoic accounts for just 12% of Phanerozoic time, while the Mesozoic
accounts for 35% and the Paleozoic, 53%. e number of PhanSST entries and sampling sites per era, however,
follow a dierent distribution (Table5), reecting fundamental dierences in the availability, density, and nature
of paleo-SST archives across geologic time. Cenozoic entries account for 79% of the data in PhanSST, while

Cenozoic sampling sites account for a quarter of the unique sites. e over-representation of Cenozoic entries
reects the fact that the majority of these data come from drill cores, with long and oen high-resolution
records, and many of these cores have SST data from multiple proxies. Additionally, several of the proxies, such
as
UK
37
723, are restricted to more recent times. Collectively, these factors inuence both the number of entries and
unique sampling sites from each proxy type through time (Figs.4,5). While carbonate oxygen isotope data,
largely from planktonic foraminifera, dominate the Cenozoic record, many of these data have been agged as
altered due to pervasive secondary bottom water calcite precipitation overprinting the SST signal466,724. TEX86
data are common throughout the Cenozoic, while both the number of entries and sampling sites of the
UK
37
data
grow rapidly across the late Neogene through Holocene. Overall, despite rising numbers of entries across the era,
the number of unique sampling sites at the stage level remains fairly consistent within each proxy, with only the
UK
37
sites showing a large increase towards the present (Fig.4). e abundance of multi-proxy records from the
same cores further moderates the total number of unique sites across all proxies.
Mesozoic entries account for just 12% of the compilation but contribute over a third of all sampling sites
(Table5). e Mesozoic marks a transition in both depositional environment and proxy availability. In the
Cretaceous, IODP data are still available, as are foraminiferal-based and TEX86 records. However, the the lack
of pelagic calciers and preserved biomarkers in sediments predating the mid to late Mesozoic limits both the

materials and proxies available. Further, nearly all seaoor older than the late Jurassic has been subducted701,
which fundamentally restricts the temporal reach of ocean drill cores. erefore, records from the early portion
of the Mesozoic dominantly come from shelf deposits or epeiric seas. ese data are generally collected from
outcrops and thus lack the high-resolution, high sampling density of core data. Additionally, the early Mesozoic
marks the initial breakup of Pangaea; the supercontinent reduced continental margin area and prohibited wide-
spread continental ooding725,726 and so compared to other intervals in Earth’s history, there are very few marine
environments preserved727. e reduction in early Mesozoic marine sedimentary occurrences is mirrored in
PhanSST by the dearth of Triassic and early Jurassic sampling sites (Fig.4b). Overall, the era is dominated by
carbonate isotope data. Phosphate isotope data are common in the Triassic, but disappear at the close of the
period, reecting the extinction of conodonts728. Conversely, TEX86 data make an appearance in the latter half
of the Mesozoic, and foraminiferal Mg/Ca data, though present in the Cretaceous, are infrequent, both in terms
of entries and sampling sites.
Despite comprising more than half of the Phanerozoic Eon, Paleozoic entries account for just 9% of all data
but constitute 40% of sampling sites (Table5). All Paleozoic entries come from marine sediments deposited on
continental margins or interiors. Paleozoic studies oen report multiple sample sites, with only a small number
of measurements from each site67,252,616. us, the number of sampling sites remains high, but the data density at
each site is drastically reduced (Fig.5). Only carbonate and phosphate oxygen isotope data are available for the
Paleozoic (Fig.4). Notable declines in data density in the Cambrian, Silurian, and Permian (Figs.4 and 5) can
be ascribed to a combination of preservation and eustasy, limiting the number of sites and material available for
analysis.
Spatial trends in data density. e spatial distribution of PhanSST sampling sites are inherently uneven, both
with respect to their modern (Fig.6) and paleo-locations (Fig.7). Paleo-latitude and -longitude of each entry
was estimated using the plate model of Scotese and Wright707, implemented in G-Plates (Version 2.2.0)729. In
terms of their modern distributions, Cenozoic data are the most spatially widespread and entry numbers at
each site are high, owing to the availability of ocean core data and the high-resolution, multi-proxy studies
they permit. Mesozoic sampling sites reect the mix of high sample densities at the few ocean cores that extend
back into the Cretaceous and lower sample density associated with outcrop data. By the Paleozoic, all samples
are situated on land and heavily weighted toward the Northern Hemisphere, with most data coming from a
few key regions (i.e., North America, Europe, Australia, and China). e Southern Hemisphere is consistently
underrepresented across all three eras and ve proxies and spanning both marine and continental deposits. e
paucity of data from South America and Africa, as well as the southern sectors of the Indian and Pacic oceans,
mirrors patterns in paleontological data709,730 and highlights the tectonic, depositional, and colonial biases in
paleoclimate data.
Viewing the paleogeographic distribution of the data by period (Fig.7) further accentuates depositional and
latitudinal biases. e Cambrian through Jurassic data overwhelmingly come from epeiric sea settings, while the
Cretaceous through Quaternary records are biased toward continental margins. Likewise, the Paleozoic records,
which dominantly come from modern-day North America and Europe, are weighted toward the tropics; as
these continents migrate northward through the Mesozoic and into the Cenozoic, the records begin to favor the
Northern Hemisphere mid latitudes. e Cenozoic data are more evenly distributed across latitudes due to the
availability of core data; however, the Southern Hemisphere remains underrepresented.

Spatio-temporal trends in proxy values. e volume of data contained within PhanSST and the consistent and
queryable metadata elds permit a large-scale view of the evolution of proxy information through geological
time. Figure8 shows heat maps of proxy values from unaltered material across the temporal range of each proxy,
with data temporally averaged by stage and spatially averaged into 15° paleolatitudinal bins. Vertical trends show
the latitudinal proxy gradient at any given stage, while the horizontal trends show temporal evolution of proxy
values within a latitudinal bin.
e δ18Ocarbonate data (Fig.8a) exhibit a clear trend toward higher values towards modern day. is trend has
long been recognized and interpreted to reect either a secular evolution in the oxygen isotopic evolution of
seawater through geologic time, a true temperature signal from a much warmer ancient world, or an increased
inuence of diagenetic alteration with age24,312,731,732. Viewing the data as a function of both space and time
importantly highlights that very few early Paleozoic records extend beyond the tropics, while tropical Mesozoic
and (unaltered) Cenozoic data are less common. us, to some extent the observed shi toward higher values
should logically follow based on the dierences in the latitudinal extent of the data, regardless of the prevail-
ing climate regime. e end of the Paleozoic also marks a transition from data sourced from warmer epeiric
environments to continental margins, where temperatures are more likely to resemble zonal mean values39.
Dierences in the geographic and environmental spread of data between eras may therefore partly explain the
long-term temporal trend.
e δ18Ophosphate data are restricted mainly to the low latitudes in the Paleozoic, boreal mid latitudes in the
Mesozoic, and absent in the Cenozoic (Fig.8b). While there is a long-term temporal trend toward higher values
across the Paleozoic, the enrichment observed in the tropics during the Carboniferous and Permian is consistent
with cooling during the Late Paleozoic Icehouse733.
e Mg/Ca data have a sporadic temporal and spatial distribution (Fig.8c). Even during more data dense
intervals, such as the late Neogene, latitudinal gradients deviate from a temperature-driven expectation. e
Mg/Ca proxy is sensitive to several non-thermal factors, such as the magnesium to calcium ratio of the seawater
at the time of precipitation, the bottom water calcite saturation state at the time of burial, surface ocean pH and
salinity, and the cleaning method used during analysis3537. Cumulatively, these factors inhibit straightforward
interpretation of the raw proxy values.
Compared to the other data types,
UK
37
data have a short temporal span but a wide spatial distribution. Nearly
all latitudinal bins from the mid-Neogene through modern are represented (Fig.8e). Unencumbered by
non-thermal inuences, the alkenone data exhibit well developed latitudinal gradients. However, because
UK
37
is
a ratio bounded on a 0 (cold) to 1 (hot) scale, tropical locations consistently approach the limit of the proxy,
making it challenging to discern temporal trends in these regions. ough lacking the spatial coverage of the
UK
37
data, the TEX86 data exhibit spatial and temporal trends broadly consistent with the current understanding of
Cenozoic climate3 and have the most consistent high latitude southern hemisphere coverage (Fig.8d).
Fig. 8 Summary of the spatio-temporal trends in proxy values from unaltered materials, separated by proxy
type and binned temporally by stage and spatially by 15° paleolatitudinal bins. e scale of each color bar is
unique to each proxy type, but for all panels, cooler colors correspond with proxy values associated with cooler
temperatures and vice versa.

e paleogeographic maps (Fig.7) and heatmaps (Fig.8) demonstrate that all proxies have discontinuous
spatial and temporal coverage, but that collectively the Cenozoic is well represented. Geographic coverage
diminishes in the Mesozoic and is extremely limited in the Paleozoic. Dierences in the distribution of data,
both between eras and proxies, likely bias our collective understanding of Phanerozoic climate. Identifying and
acknowledge these patterns can aid in the interpretation of global climate trends and inform decisions regarding
where to target future data acquisition eorts, with respect to both geography and proxy type.
Usage Notes
Informed user notice. Although PhanSST has many applications beyond its initial intended purpose, sev-
eral sources of uncertainty are not constrained in the current version of the compilation. As noted above, the
database does not include age uncertainty. Additionally, while specic screening procedures (e.g., XRD, SEM)
can help identify altered material, the assessment of preservation is subjective, particularly in a binary sense. We
have taken a conservative approach, agging everything that was either (1) interpreted as altered in the original
publication, (2) was deemed suspect based on the expert opinion of the co-authors or (3) was beyond the reason-
able range of values for any given proxy. As discussed above, since there are a wide range of metrics and thresh-
olds used to evaluate the delity of dierent proxy values, we have chosen to include proxy-specic elds that
can aid in diagenetic assessments. We recommend that end-users utilize these elds, in tandem with the binary
DiagenesisFlag, to make their own informed diagenetic determinations.
All entries in PhanSST contain raw proxy values. is decision was intentional to ensure consistency between
PhanSST and the original data tables from which the data were drawn and to ensure traceability. However, where
appropriate, the database includes relevant information to assist in species- or methodological-specic correc-
tions (e.g., AnalyticalTechnique, NBS120c, Durango, CleaningMethod). We encourage users to make use of these
elds to guarantee appropriate reuse.
Finally, we would like to recognize that the data contained within PhanSST represent the collective work of
countless researchers and required an enormous amount of time, eort, and resources to generate. PhanSST has
compiled these disparate data sets, but can stake no claim in their generation. Upon reuse (and when realisti-
cally feasible), we recommend users to cite both PhanSST and the original data references to ensure appropriate
attribution.
Applying the database in deep time. When applying these data in the deep time, it will oen be neces-
sary to (1) convert the proxy values to temperature estimates and (2) estimate their paleogeographic position. In
addition to the considerations outline above in the Informed user notice, it is important to make deliberate and
justiable decisions regarding the choice of temperature calibration and plate rotation model.
For any given proxy system, there are a variety of dierent PSMs available with which to estimate SST. ere
is justication to use dierent calibrations under dierent circumstances (e.g., based on the location, age, or
taxon from which the data derive) and in many instances it may also be useful to report estimates of SSTs
using multiple calibrations (see the Which metadata elds are excluded and why? section for specic examples).
Similarly, in order to calculate SST, many of these proxies require assumptions about the seawater chemistry of

ancient oceans and other non-thermal variables. In Table6 we have provided a non-exhaustive list of calibration
references and potential non-thermal predictor variables for each proxy system. Some of the PSMs are straight-
forward transfer functions366,704,734, allowing SSTs to be calculated by hand or, e.g., in Excel, while others involve
a system of equations31,34,35 that can be implemented in various coding languages (e.g., Python, R, or Matlab). It
is important to be aware that dierent PSMs also handle uncertainty dierently, with some providing 1σ calibra-
tion uncertainty, some providing 95% condence intervals, and others providing no means of estimating error.
ere are, similarly, myriad plate rotation models to choose from and the choice of which model is most
appropriate depends upon several factors. e most important consideration is how the paleogeographic infor-
mation will be used. If the data will be plotted on top of an ESM output, then to ensure the data are placed
correctly the user will want to use the same rotation model as the simulation. is is particularly true in deeper
time, when paleolongitudes are unconstrained38. Once the user has determined the appropriate plate model,
rotation of the data can be implemented using G-Plates729, either through the command line in Python or via a
graphical user interface. Conversely, if the data are being used to investigate latitudinal temperature gradients
during a specic time slice, then it may be prudent to try several rotation models to get a sense of the uncertainty
in the values. If only paleolatitude is needed, we recommend using the Paleolatitude Calculator38, which pro-
vides estimates–and uncertainties–from several dierent plate rotation models.
Data availability and nature of a living database. A static copy of PhanSST Version 0.0.1 is archived
in the NOAA-NCEI Paleoclimatology Database (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/study/36813)26.
Version controlled releases of the database and additional reference and database metadata can be found on Zenodo
(https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7049233)27 and at the PhanSST website (https://www.paleo-temperature.org).
We chose to host the data on Zenodo because it (1) permits version control and (2) interfaces directly with
GitHub, which will allow us to release new versions of the database under the same DOI. Despite our best eorts
to identify data from the literature and QC each entry, given the sheer volume of data contained within PhanSST,
there are undoubtedly errors or data sets that we have overlooked. Any issues or omissions identied by end-users
can be reported on the PhanSST website and the erroneous information will be updated in future releases of the
database. Likewise, the website contains a blank data entry template and instructions for entering and submit-
ting missing or newly published data. Completed data entry forms can be submitted via the PhanSST website or
emailed directly to PhanSST@outlook.com. We encourage the community to contribute newly published data so
that the database can continue to grow. rough continued crowd-sourcing of data entry and QC, PhanSST will
remain a useful resource for the paleoclimate community for years to come.
Code availability
Figures48 were produced in Matlab. Example code and auxiliary functions to (1) reproduce Figs.46 and
(2) run the automated QC checks on the database are available on GitHub (https://github.com/EJJudd/
SciDataSupplement). e paleocoordinates used to produce Figs.7,8 were estimated using the plate model of
Scotese and Wright707, implemented in G-Plates (Version 2.2.0)729.

... Our understanding of ocean temperatures throughout the Phanerozoic is primarily derived from stable oxygen isotope (δ 18 O)-based temperature reconstructions (Gaskell et al., 2022;Grossman and Joachimski, 2022;Judd et al., 2024Judd et al., , 2022Scotese et al., 2021;Veizer and Prokoph, 2015). Stable oxygen isotope data acquired on carbonate or phosphate biominerals represent half of the entries in a recent Phanerozoic-scale compilation of sea-surface temperature (SST) proxy data and constitute the only proxy extending from the Cambrian to Modern (Judd et al., 2024(Judd et al., , 2022. ...

... The strongest biases correspond to SST overestimations in regions of low salinity at higher latitudes. Fig. 7c shows that mean SSTs are consistently overestimated in the 45 • -60 • latitude band in each hemisphere; this latitudinal window represents the high-latitude edge of the region for which most δ 18 O proxy data are available ( Fig. 7a; see also Judd et al., 2022). There are two clear intervals of substantial biases in these latitudinal bands: the southern hemisphere during the Devonian to Permian, and the northern hemisphere during the Triassic to present-day, with zonally-averaged biases of the order of +5 • C and +2.5 • C, respectively. ...

Stable oxygen isotopes (δ18O) are routinely used to reconstruct sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) in the geological past, with mineral δ18O values reflecting a combination of the temperature and oxygen isotope composition of seawater (δ18Osw). Temporal variation of mean-ocean δ18Osw is usually accounted for following estimates of land-ice volume. Spatial variations in δ18Osw, however, are often neglected or corrected using calibrations derived from the present-day or recent past. Geochemical methods for constraining δ18Osw and isotope-enabled general circulation model (GCM) simulations are still technically challenging. This lack of constraints on ancient δ18Osw is a substantial source of uncertainty for SST reconstructions. Here we use the co-variation of δ18Osw and seawater salinity, together with GCM simulations of ocean salinity, to propose estimations of spatial variability in δ18Osw over the Phanerozoic. Sensitivity tests of the δ18Osw-salinity relationship and climate model, and comparison with results of isotope-enabled GCMs, suggest that our calculations are robust at first order. We show that continental configuration exerts a primary control on δ18Osw spatial variability. Complex ocean basin geometries in periods younger than 66 Ma lead to strong inter-basinal contrasts in δ18Osw. Latitudinal SST gradients may be steeper than previously suggested during most of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. This work has limitations, with δ18Osw-salinity relationships being less reliable in both low-latitude epicontinental settings and high-latitude regions of deep-water formation. Whilst our calculations are limited use in correcting δ18O measurements for local δ18Osw, they identify the time slices and paleogeographical regions that should be prioritized for future work using isotope-enabled GCMs.
... Prior efforts by biologists and paleontologists have created biological-focused databases to synthesize disparate neontological and paleontological datasets (e.g., Lazarus 1994;Williams et al. 2018;Bijl 2022;Smith et al. 2023a;Smith et al. 2023b;Sessa et al. 2023). Similarly, working groups composed of (paleo)oceanographers, paleoclimatologists, geochemists, Earth systems modelers, and sedimentologists have worked to synthesize records of abiotic changes, often with a focus on improving climate models (e.g., Haywood et al. 2011;Judd et al. 2022). Although many individual biotic and abiotic records are available from data aggregators (e.g., PANGAEA, Diepenbroek et al. 2002), there is a lack of standardization or ability to aggregate and collate these disparate datasets easily, but some efforts have been made (e.g., Sessa et al. 2023). ...

The microfossil record contains abundant, diverse, and well‐preserved fossils spanning multiple trophic levels from primary producers to apex predators. In addition, microfossils often constitute and are preserved in high abundances alongside continuous high‐resolution geochemical proxy records. These characteristics mean that microfossils can provide valuable context for understanding the modern climate and biodiversity crises by allowing for the interrogation of spatiotemporal scales well beyond what is available in neo‐ecological research. Here, we formalize a research framework of “micropaleoecology,” which builds on a holistic understanding of global change from the environment to ecosystem level. Location: Global. Time period: Neoproterozoic‐Phanerozoic. Taxa studied: Fossilizing organisms/molecules. Our framework seeks to integrate geochemical proxy records with microfossil records and metrics, and draws on mechanistic models and systems‐level statistical analyses to integrate disparate records. Using multiple proxies and mechanistic mathematical frameworks extends analysis beyond traditional correlation‐based studies of paleoecological associations and builds a greater understanding of past ecosystem dynamics. The goal of micropaleoecology is to investigate how environmental changes impact the component and emergent properties of ecosystems through the integration of multi‐trophic level body fossil records (primarily using microfossils, and incorporating additional macrofossil data where possible) with contemporaneous environmental (biogeochemical, geochemical, and sedimentological) records. Micropaleoecology, with its focus on integrating ecological metrics within the context of paleontological records, facilitates a deeper understanding of the response of ecosystems across time and space to better prepare for a future Earth under threat from anthropogenic climate change.

Marine glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are used in various proxies (such as TEX86) to reconstruct past ocean temperatures. Over 20 years of improvements in GDGT sample processing, analytical techniques, data interpretation and our understanding of proxy functioning have led to the collective development of a set of best practices in all these areas. Further, the importance of Open Science in research has increased the emphasis on the systematic documentation of data generation, reporting and archiving processes for optimal reusability of data. In this paper, we provide protocols and best practices for obtaining, interpreting and presenting GDGT data (with a focus on marine GDGTs), from sampling to data archiving. The purpose of this paper is to optimize inter-laboratory comparability of GDGT data, and to ensure published data follows modern open access principles.

Reconstructions of past climates in both time and space provide important insight into the range and rate of change within the climate system. However, producing a coherent global picture of past climates is difficult because indicators of past environmental changes (proxy data) are unevenly distributed and uncertain. In recent years, paleoclimate data assimilation (paleoDA), which statistically combines model simulations with proxy data, has become an increasingly popular reconstruction method. Here, we describe advances in paleoDA to date, with a focus on the offline ensemble Kalman filter and the insights into climate change that this method affords. PaleoDA has considerable strengths in that it can blend multiple types of information while also propagating uncertainty. Drawbacks of the methodology include an overreliance on the climate model and variance loss. We conclude with an outlook on possible expansions and improvements in paleoDA that can be made in the upcoming years. ▪ Paleoclimate data assimilation blends model and proxy information to enable spatiotemporal reconstructions of past climate change. ▪ This method has advanced our understanding of global temperature change, Earth's climate sensitivity, and past climate dynamics. ▪ Future innovations could improve the method by implementing online paleoclimate data assimilation and smoothers.

Acritarchs, microfossils with an algal affinity, are of great significance for studying the origin and evolution of early life on Earth. Acritarch data are currently dispersed across various research institutions and databases worldwide, lacking unified integration and standardization. Palynodata was the largest database of acritarchs, containing 15 fields, 111 382 entries, 812 238 metadata items, and 7385 references. However, it lacked references post-2007 and excluded geographic data. Here, we collected and organized previous data, adding 24 fields, 4531 entries, 1 882 081 metadata points, and 424 references, to build a new global acritarch database. The expanded database now contains a total of 39 fields, covering genera, species, and related geological information (geological timescale, location, modern latitude and longitude, paleolatitude and paleolongitude, stratum, and others), amounting to 115 947 entries, 2 694 671 metadata, and 7816 references. Each entry is associated with fields that facilitate a better understanding of the geographical distribution and changes over geological timescales of acritarchs, thereby revealing their temporal and spatial distribution patterns and evolution throughout the history of the Earth. This article describes GAD version 1.0, which is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13828633 (Shu et al., 2024).

Atmospheric CO2 is thought to play a fundamental role in Earth’s climate regulation. Yet, for much of Earth’s geological past, atmospheric CO2 has been poorly constrained, hindering our understanding of transitions between cool and warm climates. Beginning ~370 million years ago in the Late Devonian and ending ~260 million years ago in the Permian, the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age was the last major glaciation preceding the current Late Cenozoic Ice Age and possibly the most intense glaciation witnessed by complex lifeforms. From the onset of the main phase of the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age in the mid-Mississippian ~330 million years ago, the Earth is thought to have sustained glacial conditions, with continental ice accumulating in high to mid-latitudes. Here we present an 80-million-year-long boron isotope record within a proxy framework for robust quantification of CO2. Our record reveals that the main phase of the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age glaciation was maintained by prolonged low CO2, unprecedented in Earth’s history. About 294 million years ago, atmospheric CO2 rose abruptly (4-fold), releasing the Earth from its penultimate ice age and transforming the Early Permian into a warmer world.

This report provides oxygen isotopes from apatite of late Middle and Late Ordovician conodonts from the southern Holy Cross Mountains in south-eastern Poland. It was a unique time interval characterised by a significant change in the Ordovician climate, tectonic, and ocean chemistry. In the Middle and early Late Ordovician, the Holy Cross Mountains were located in the mid-latitude climatic zone at the southwestern periphery of Baltica; therefore, the δ¹⁸Oapatite values from this region provide new data on the ¹⁸O/¹⁶O budget in the Ordovician seawater reconstructed mainly from the tropical and subtropical realms. Oxygen isotopes from mixed conodont samples were measured using the SHRIMP IIe/MC ion microprobe in the Polish Geological Institute in Warsaw. The δ¹⁸Oapatite values range from 16.75‰VSMOW to 20.66‰VSMOW with an average of 18.48‰VSMOW. The oxygen isotopes from bioapatite of the studied section display an increasing trend, suggesting a progressive decrease in sea-surface temperature roughly consistent with an overall cooling of the Ordovician climate. Two distinctive positive excursions of δ¹⁸Oapatite have been reported in the upper Sandbian and middle Katian of the studied section and correlated with cooling events recognised in Baltica. They are interpreted as an isotope temperature proxy of climate changes triggered by a growing continental polar ice cap, but increased δ¹⁸Oapatite in the late Sandbian contradicts recently postulated climate warming during that time in subtropical Laurentia.

The current study presents new bed‐by‐bed brachiopod δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O records from Öland, Sweden, which together with previously published data from the East Baltic region, constitutes a high‐resolution paired brachiopod and bulk rock carbon and oxygen isotope archive through the Lower to Upper Ordovician successions of Baltoscandia. This new data set refines the temporal control on the global Ordovician δ¹⁸O‐trend considerably, improving paleoenvironmental reconstructions through the main phase of the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE). The new brachiopod carbon and oxygen isotope records from Öland display strong similarity with the East Baltic records, elucidating the regional consistency as well as global correlation utility of the ensuing composite Baltoscandian Lower to Middle Ordovician carbon and oxygen isotope record. The carbon isotope record from Öland indicates that the widely reported Middle Ordovician carbon cycle perturbation—MDICE (Mid‐Darriwilian Carbon Isotope Excursion)—is recorded in both brachiopods and bulk carbonates. The oxygen isotope record reveals a long‐term Lower to Upper Ordovician trend of increasingly heavier brachiopod δ¹⁸O values, with a pronounced increase during the Middle Ordovician Darriwilian Stage. We interpret this trend as dominantly reflecting a paleotemperature signal indicating progressively cooler Early to Middle Ordovician climate with glacio‐eustasy. Our Baltic δ¹⁸O values are therefore consistent with postulations that the biotic radiations during the GOBE and climatic cooling during the Darriwilian were strongly linked.

The Late Ordovician is a paradox, with a greenhouse climate shifting to an icehouse climate during a time of presumably high CO2 levels. We used clumped isotope (Δ47) microanalysis of fossil brachiopod shells to determine paleotemperatures of North America (Cincinnati Arch) during the Katian (453–443 Ma). Microanalyses of fossil brachiopods yielded a right-skewed distribution of clumped isotope temperatures [T(Δ47)] ranging from 25 °C to 55 °C with a mode of 32 °C and a mean of 36 °C. To test the impact of Δ47 reordering (reequilibration of 13C-18O bonding) at burial temperatures on T(Δ47), we applied a Monte Carlo simulation to a Δ47 reordering model based on the burial history. Because the reordering simulation indicated partial reordering, we used the simulation results to back-calculate T(Δ47) and correct the reordering effect. Correcting for reordering decreased the mean T(Δ47) by only ~1 °C, to 35 °C, and did not change the mode (32 °C). These temperatures are lower than those of previous studies, but still suggest that the Late Ordovician climate of the Cincinnati Arch was warmer than the modern subtropical seas. However, carbonate facies in these strata argue for upwelling of cool water; thus, typical subtropical surface waters may have been as warm as 35 °C approaching the Hirnantian glaciation. Seawater δ18O values derived from back-calculated T(Δ47) and brachiopod δ18O values average –0.3‰ ± 0.6‰ relative to Vienna standard mean ocean water (VSMOW), consistent with the value expected for subtropical surface waters in a greenhouse Earth, assuming a constant seawater-δ18O model.

Sampling biases in the fossil record distort estimates of past biodiversity. However, these biases not only reflect the geological and spatial aspects of the fossil record, but also the historical and current collation of fossil data. We demonstrate how the legacy of colonialism and socioeconomic factors, such as wealth, education and political stability, impact the global distribution of fossil data over the past 30 years. We find that a global power imbalance persists in palaeontology, with researchers in high- or upper-middle-income countries holding a monopoly over palaeontological knowledge production by contributing to 97% of fossil data. As a result, some countries or regions tend to be better sampled than others, ultimately leading to heterogeneous spatial sampling across the globe. This illustrates how efforts to mitigate sampling biases to obtain a truly representative view of past biodiversity are not disconnected from the aim of diversifying and decolonizing our discipline.

Climate changes across the past 24,000 years provide key insights into Earth system responses to external forcing. Climate model simulations1,2 and proxy data3–8 have independently allowed for study of this crucial interval; however, they have at times yielded disparate conclusions. Here, we leverage both types of information using paleoclimate data assimilation9,10 to produce the first proxy-constrained, full-field reanalysis of surface temperature change spanning the Last Glacial Maximum to present at 200-year resolution. We demonstrate that temperature variability across the past 24 thousand years was linked to two primary climatic mechanisms: radiative forcing from ice sheets and greenhouse gases; and a superposition of changes in the ocean overturning circulation and seasonal insolation. In contrast with previous proxy-based reconstructions6,7 our results show that global mean temperature has slightly but steadily warmed, by ~0.5 °C, since the early Holocene (around 9 thousand years ago). When compared with recent temperature changes11, our reanalysis indicates that both the rate and magnitude of modern warming are unusual relative to the changes of the past 24 thousand years. Paleoclimate datasets are integrated with a climate model to reconstruct global surface temperature since the Last Glacial Maximum, showing sustained warming until the mid-Holocene.

The global climate of the Ordovician Period (486.9 to 443.1 Ma) is characterized by cooling that culminated in the Hirnantian glaciation. Chemical weathering of Ca- and Mg-bearing silicate minerals and the subsequent trapping of carbon in marine carbonates act as a sink for atmospheric CO2 on multi-million-year time scales, with basaltic rocks consuming CO2 at a greater rate than rocks of granitic composition. The oceanic Sr isotope ratio (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) can act as a geochemical proxy for the relative proportion of basaltic versus granitic weathering. Oxygen isotopes (δ18O) act as a proxy for paleotemperature and ice volume, providing a useful complement to ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr in studies of ancient climate. Previous studies have reported stepwise cooling (increasing δ18O) during the Middle to Late Ordovician. Combined with Sr and C cycle models, this has led to the hypothesis that continental silicate weathering of mafic material drove Ordovician cooling (e.g., the Taconic Orogeny). However, Sr and C cycle models have not accounted for an apparent rise in sea level and seafloor production in the Middle Ordovician (Darriwilian), which would increase the hydrothermal Sr flux as well as degassing along continental volcanic arcs. Furthermore, some Ordovician studies contain temporal uncertainty between ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and δ18O curves if they are not based on paired analyses, which can obscure the relationship between silicate weathering and cooling. Here, we present new paired ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and δ18O data from conodont apatite and integrate this with both a deterministic (forward) and stochastic (reverse) modeling approach to argue that increased hydrothermal weathering played a role in driving marine ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, specifically an inflection occurring in the Pygoda serra conodont zone of the mid-Darriwilian Stage (∼ 460.9 Ma ± 1 My). This ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr inflection is accompanied by an increase in δ18O, consistent with climate cooling. Clarifying the role of seafloor production for marine ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and the implications for Ordovician cooling allows for a more nuanced understanding of the factors that drive multi-million-year shifts in climate.

During the Mississippian period, metazoan reefs and other marine faunas gradually recovered from the Late Devonian mass extinctions and reached a peak in the late Visean (~334–332 Ma). Faunal diversity started to decline from the latest Visean (~332–330 Ma) through Serpukhovian (~330–323 Ma), with significant genera/species losses and ecosystem reconstruction. This Middle-Late Mississippian biodiversity crisis (M-LMBC) was thought to have been caused by global cooling associated with the late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA), but existing sedimentological and temperature proxy data suggest that the global cooling event—that marks the onset of the main glaciation phase of LPIA—happened either ~4 Myr before or ~ 1–5 Myr after the initial biodiversity decline at ~332 Ma. Here, we report oxygen isotope data of diagenetically screened, well-preserved brachiopod calcite (δ¹⁸Ocalcite) from late Visean-Serpukhovian (or Middle-Late Mississippian; ~334–323 Ma) strata in South China where biodiversity data are well documented. The δ¹⁸Ocalcite data reveal a ~ 2.0‰ positive shift from 4.6 ± 0.2‰ to −2.7 ± 0.5‰ with an estimated ~4.7–5.5 °C drop in sea surface temperature (SST) during ~332.5–331.5 Ma in the late Visean. This cooling event coincides with fast decline of metazoan reef abundance, followed by decrease of benthic faunal diversity. The δ¹⁸Ocalcite data, in combination with calibrated sedimentological and biodiversity data, demonstrate the coupling between late Visean (~332 Ma) onset of the main glaciation phase of the LPIA and initiation of the M-LMBC.

Climate cooling has been commonly considered as one of the most plausible triggers of the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE). However, the details of coeval sea-surface temperature (SST) variation during and after the biodiversification peak are still unclear due to lack of continuous, high-resolution paleotemperature records. Here, we report the first high-resolution in situ Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) conodont apatite oxygen isotope (δ ¹⁸ O apatite ) curve from the Kalpin Shuinichang and Dawangou sections (the auxiliary global stratotype section and point (GSSP) for the base of the Upper Ordovician Series) to reconstruct the detailed Ordovician paleotemperature history in the Tarim Basin, northwestern China. The new oxygen isotope data, based on mono-generic specimens, reveal a similar first-order variation trend with published records from other paleocontinents, which is suggestive of a global signal. A -0.7‰ δ ¹⁸ O apatite shift (∼3.2 °C warming) is identifiable in the Dawangou Formation (early–middle Darriwilian). This is followed by a long-term +2.2‰ positive shift in δ ¹⁸ O apatite (∼10 °C cooling) in the overlying strata spanning the Saergan and the Kanling formations (late Darriwilian–Sandbian), likely indicating a global climatic signal. Examining the coeval marine ⁸⁷ Sr/ ⁸⁶ Sr records, the early–middle Darriwilian minor δ ¹⁸ O apatite decrease is coincident with the onset of long-term negative ⁸⁷ Sr/ ⁸⁶ Sr excursion, possibly indicating a slight climate warming in response to increasing volcanic degassing in the context of accelerating spreading of mid-oceanic ridges. In contrast, the following long-term positive δ ¹⁸ O apatite excursion, in parallel with persistent ⁸⁷ Sr/ ⁸⁶ Sr drop, likely indicates a major climate cooling initially caused by the rapid tropical continental weathering, which in turn may have reduced the continental radiogenic Sr influx.

A new Devonian oxygen isotope record based on 180 measurements of conodont apatite is reported from South China. The comparison with published Devonian δ¹⁸Oapatite data shows a considerable offset between records from different paleocontinents. This difference can be interpreted by regional variations in salinity, with the epicontinental seas having a distinctly lower salinity and δ¹⁸Oseawater than the open ocean due to the influence of fresh-water runoff. Our findings suggest that the oxygen isotope record from open ocean settings is the preferred archive for reconstructing the history of ocean temperature and/or ice volume over the Phanerozoic. Despite regional differences, the South China and European records show similar long-term trends characterized by a pronounced cooling during the Pragian to Eifelian followed by significant warming over the Eifelian/Givetian to Frasnian, and a further cooling starting in the Famennian, accelerating in the earliest Carboniferous. The Early Devonian cooling coincided with early vascular plant root − soil interactions and a significant diversity increase in both spores and megaplant fossils, suggesting that the rise of rooted vascular plants may have played a key role in triggering climate cooling. Subsequent climatic warming over the Middle to Late Devonian transition may have been linked to metamorphic CO2 input from the Acadian Orogeny, while Famennian cooling occurred in a context of exposure and weathering of basalts and ophiolites and coincided with the advent of seed plants. We conclude that climate changes during the Devonian were likely driven by a combination of plant evolutionary advances and changes in tectonics. We further test these interpretations by running the COPSE (Carbon, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulfur and Evolution) biogeochemical model. The model prediction is capable of reproducing the pCO2 record under these scenarios, although the model is not capable of reproducing the degree of temperature variation, likely due to its simplicity.
