Isotope Stratigraphy

<p>The youngest time interval of the Cretaceous Period is known as the Maastrichtian, a reference to the marine strata exposed in the area surrounding the city of Maastricht, in the Netherlands-Belgium border region. The stratigraphic succession at the original type-locality of the Maastrichtian (ENCI quarry, NL) only covers the upper part of the Maastrichtian Stage as it is nowadays defined. However, in combination with similar rock sequences in several other quarries (e.g. Hallembaye, Curfs) in the region, a substantial part of the Maastrichtian Stage is represented.</p><p>While the type-Maastrichtian strata have provided a wealth of paleontological data, comparatively little geochemical work has been carried out on this succession. So far, the age assessment of, and stratigraphic correlation with, the type-Maastrichtian has been largely based on biostratigraphy and preliminary attempts at cyclostratigraphy, techniques that are hampered by bioprovincialism and the presence of stratigraphic gaps in the succession. In recent years, stable carbon isotope stratigraphy has been proven to be a powerful tool for correlating Upper Cretaceous strata on a global scale. When calibrated with biostratigraphic events, carbon isotope stratigraphy can be used to test the synchroneity of bio-events and reconcile inter-regional biostratigraphic schemes. Therefore, we have generated the first high-resolution stable carbon isotope stratigraphy for the type-Maastrichtian, using the extensive sample set acquired in the context of the Maastrichtian Geoheritage Project. In combination with elemental data generated using µXRF (e.g. Ca, Si, Al, Ti, Fe wt%), our record presents the first high-resolution chemostratigraphy for the type-Maastrichtian. This new chemostratigraphic framework enables us to refine the age-model for studied strata, and allows a better regional and global correlation with the type-Maastrichtian successions, placing the paleontological records from the type-Maastrichtian in a global context.  </p>

AbstractCarbonate rocks have been sampled through predominantly siliciclastic sediments above the Precambrian-Cambrian global stratotype level in southeastern Newfoundland to assess their potential for oxygen and carbon isotope stratigraphy. Comparable successions were sampled at Nuneaton and Comley in England. Greatly depleted δ18O signals are attributed to widespread thermal alteration during deep burial and granitic intrusion, including within the stratotype region. Carbon isotope ratios appear to have been less affected and these are described from nine sections. A provisional, composite δ13C curve is based on non-ferroan, pink nodular and bedded micrites. Several δ13C excursions occur in the fossiliferous Bonavista Group and allow the position of the Tommotian-Atdabanian boundary to be identified. Chemostratigraphic correlation of the new Precambrian-Cambrian boundary stratotype may, however, prove difficult because of the lack of suitable, well-preserved carbonates. The search must begin for a comparable reference section allowing global correlation of the boundary level using chemostratigraphy as well as biostratigraphy.

Abstract Hayakawa, T., Hirano, H. 2013. A revised inoceramid biozonation for the Upper Cretaceous based on high-resolution carbon isotope stratigraphy in northwestern Hokkaido, Japan. Acta Geologica Polonica, 63 (2), 239-263. Warszawa. Biostratigraphic correlations of inoceramid bivalves between the North Pacific and Euramerican provinces have been difficult because the inoceramid biostratigraphy of the Japanese strata has been based on endemic species of the northwest Pacific. In this study, carbon stable isotope fluctuations of terrestrial organic matter are assembled for the Upper Cretaceous Yezo Group in the Haboro and Obira areas, Hokkaido, Japan, in order to revise the chronology of the inoceramid biozonation in Japan. The carbon isotope curves are correlated with those of marine carbonates in English and German sections with the aid of age-diagnostic taxa. According to the correlations of the carbon isotope curves, 11 isotope events are recognised in the sections studied. As a result of these correlations, the chronology of the inoceramid biozones of the Northwest Pacific has been considerably revised. The revised inoceramid biozones suggest that the timing of the origination and extinction of the inoceramids in the North Pacific biotic province is different from the stage/substage boundaries defined by inoceramids, as used in Europe and North America.
