A 200-year coral stable oxygen isotope record from a high-latitude reef off Western Australia

AbstractPreliminary stable oxygen isotope data are presented from the southern North Sea Basin successions, ranging from the Lutetian to Rupelian. Analyses were performed on fish otoliths, nuculid bivalves and benthic foraminifera and are presented as bulk δ18O values relative to a well established regional sequence stratigraphic framework. The most significant positive shift in δ18O values clearly falls at the top of the regionally recognised Bassevelde 3 sequence, which base corresponds to the Eocene-Oligocene GSSP boundary. The here documented δ18O shift is closely associated with the base of the traditional Rupelian unit-stratotype and is tentatively correlated to the globally recognised Oi-1 event.

Oxygen isotope ratios in the shell of a Recent Antarctic marine bivalve Laternula elliptica are shown and their potential for environmental reconstruction is discussed. The shell δ18O profiles of this species represent the seasonal change in melted ice water inflow. Oscillations in the shell δ18O values reflect seasonal change in seawater δ18O values, caused by an addition of meltwater in summer. Since annual temperature variation is minimal and the inflow of the regional ice-melt is the dominant control on the shell δ18O values, the oxygen isotope record of L. elliptica is a quantitative indicator of the palaeo-ice-melting events in the Antarctic continental margin.
