Planktic foraminiferal assemblages were studied qualitatively and quantitatively in 13 samples obtained at 3 cm intervals throughout the uppermost Pleistocene-Holocene deposits of Box core 123 (Eurydice Expedition, western equatorial Pacific Ocean). Absolute ages of these samples have previously been determined by the 14 C method; the lowest sample dated from approximately 16,000 B.P. A curve based on the ratio between specimens of warm and warm-temperate vs. cold and cold-temperate water assemblages suggests that two temperature drops occurred during this time-span: at 11,OOO B.P. and around 4,000–2,OOO B.P. The former drop corresponds to the onset of the Younger Dryas cooling. An unexpectedly high dominance of Globigerinita clarkei (up to 60%, on the average 48.5%) was observed throughout the entire core. Isolated, small-sized and poorly developed specimens of typical cold water foraminifera were present in the materials investigated; their origin is most probably due to advection via equatorward subsurface currents. 相似文献

Because many forminiferologists pay little attention to the smallest planktic foraminiferal species, the role of Globigerinita clarkei (Rögl & Bolli) as a fauna making species has been largely overlooked. Although it is widely distributed throughout the world, even dominating the assemblages of many areas (at least in the Quarternarty deposits), it is missing from numerous reports based on materials where it must have been present. 相似文献

Characterization, lateral variability and lateral extent of discontinuity surfaces on a Carbonate Platform (Barremian to Lower Aptian, Oman) 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Hiati of various duration in carbonates are commonly expressed as discontinuity surfaces. The understanding of processes that form and affect these surfaces leads to an improved sequence-stratigraphic interpretation, a reliable outcrop correlation, and better models for reservoir compartmentalization. Various intraformational discontinuities were analysed and interpreted in a well-exposed study window, 2·5 km in lateral length and 60 m in height comprising the Barremian-Aptian Qishn Formation (Haushi-Huqf area, central Oman). This study focuses on the lateral extent and morphology of the surfaces, the petrography of the underlying rocks, and the facies changes and geochemical trends across these discontinuities. Furthermore, the lateral variability of discontinuity surfaces was documented. Three genetic types of discontinuities are differentiated: (i) erosion surfaces; (ii) omission surfaces (hard- and firmgrounds); and (iii) composite surfaces with evidence for both subaerial exposure and submarine boring. Field observations, combined with petrographic and geochemical data, suggest that 17 surfaces are laterally extensive for at least 20 km and record relative sea-level fluctuations of regional scale. In contrast, a large number of laterally limited surfaces (<1 km) are related to locally active processes such as waves and current erosion. The lateral variability along extensive surfaces is the result of the depositional environment below the discontinuity, the sea-floor topography, waves and currents and differential erosion. The most pronounced lateral variability is present along six laterally extensive composite surfaces that record terrestrial exposure and subsequent flooding of a tidal flat environment. This variability is caused by spatial variability in the tidal flat environment, meteoric alteration and differential erosion. This study emphasizes the spatial and temporal complexity of processes that form and modify discontinuity surfaces. This variability must be kept in mind when interpretations and correlations are based on one-dimensional sections or cores. 相似文献

Six cores were selected from 46 collected in the SW part of the Atlantic Ocean to compare the three main methods of constructing Pleistocene paleoclimatic curves by means of planktic Foraminifera. It was found that the method based on a study of the whole fauna yields more details and represents the degree of the relative climatic changes better, whereas the method based on the ratio between the Globorotalia menardii complex and G. inflata exagerates the large scale temperature oscillations. However, this exaggeration makes the separation of glacial, interglacial, and interstadial epochs much easier. Paleoclimatic curves based on the sinistral: dextral ratio of Globorotalia truncatulinoides do not coinicde with those prepared utilizing the two previous methods. thus, the coiling direction of Globorotalia truncatulinoides cannot be utilized as a paleoclimatic criterion. 相似文献

Architectural complexity of a carbonate transgressive systems tract induced by basement physiography
Three‐dimensional exposure of the Plio‐Pleistocene Calcarenite di Gravina Formation around Matera Horst, Italy, permits analysis of the architecture and internal complexities of carbonate sedimentary bodies around a palaeoisland. Spatial organization of the different lithosomes, along with their skeletal composition, sedimentary structures and bedding patterns, helps decipher the key factors that controlled platform architecture and distribution of heterogeneities: basement physiography, type and loci of carbonate production, bottom currents and changes in accommodation. Relative sea‐level changes resulted from high‐frequency glacioeustatic cycles that punctuated an overall tectonically induced transgression. Topographic relief, fragmentation of the limestone basement and wave energy controlled lithoclastic supply. Basement physiography and relative sea‐level changes determined the area available for carbonate‐producing biotas, and thus the amount and type of skeletal sediments. On the moderately dipping south‐western margin, waves and associated currents re‐distributed the lithoclasts derived from coastal abrasion. Bioclasts mostly derived from epiphytic seaweed production in the shoreface. Infralittoral prisms resulted from downdip transport (progradation) and longshore transport, which controlled along strike continuity of the prisms. Where basement continuity was interrupted at the margin of the palaeoisland, a lithoclastic fan was deposited from dumping sediments carried by shore‐parallel currents. Fan‐shaped skeletal bodies coalesced to form an apron on the steeper northern side of the palaeoisland, when a structural platform was flooded and epiphytic carbonates were shed. Red algae contribution depended on the available oligophotic area which, in turn, was controlled by high‐frequency sea‐level cycles, basement physiography and apron aggradation. The internal architecture of this apron resembles a low stand wedge but it accumulated during transgression. Deeper‐water, contour‐parallel currents formed a lithosome at the foot of the structural relief. Interpreted as drift deposits, it is composed of shallow‐water benthonic skeletal components, planktonic foraminifera and some limeclasts. 相似文献

Nummulites, a particularly abundant and diverse genus of larger benthonic foraminifera, formed huge accumulations (banks) during the Eocene, which are often good hydrocarbon reservoirs, especially in North Africa. Despite their economical interest, these accumulations are not well‐understood and their origin is still under discussion. Reasons for this debate are the absence of living Nummulites accumulations and the high‐variability of facies, including the size, shape and extension of the banks, which reflect the array of processes controlling sediment production and accumulation. The nummulitic banks near Santa María de Buil, in the Ainsa Basin (South Pyrenean Foreland Basin) are composed of recurrent facies associations within mappable bed units bounded by physical surfaces. The depositional processes that produced the Nummulites deshayesi accumulations are interpreted considering the shape of the banks, the type of bounding surfaces, the distribution of sedimentary textures, Nummulites test shapes and the associated skeletal components within the banks. This integrative analysis indicates that nummulitic banks accumulated from mass flows, with very poor sediment sorting. Textural and compositional differences among banks suggest that globose Nummulites thrived in the shallower part of the mesophotic zone with abundant nummulithoclasts, whereas flat nummulitic forms thrived in deeper mesophotic, clay‐dominated settings. Interbedded with nummulitic banks, coral biostromes and coral mounds bearing Operculina, Discocyclina and Asterocyclina, represent in situ accumulation near the base of the photic zone. Internal waves (waves that propagate along the pycnocline) are thought to be the triggering mechanism for the density flows. Internal waves and induced bottom currents are sporadic but strong enough to bring sediments into suspension. In contrast to surface waves (both fair‐weather and storm), whose impact is strongest near the sea surface and decreases with bathymetry, the impact of internal waves is usually strongest in the mid‐shelf region and weaker in shallow water. This explains the compositional character of the nummulitic banks. 相似文献
