X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core scanning and computed tomography data were measured every 1 mm to study the structure of Heinrich Event during last deglaciation at International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1308. Layer comprises two distinct layers ice-rafted detritus (IRD), which are rich in detrital carbonate (DC) poor foraminifera. Each DC layer consists poorly sorted, coarse-grained clasts IRD embedded a dense, fine-grained matrix glacial rock flour that is partially cemented. The...
Abstract Recent advances in characterization of turbidite-fans have been achieved through various methodologies, including flume-tank experiments, numerical modeling, seismic analysis, and integrated core outcrop studies. Ichnology has proven valuable for understanding turbidite systems by providing insights into paleoenvironmental conditions such as oxygen levels, nutrient availability, hydrodynamic energy, sedimentation rates. Since the 1960s, Nereites ichnofacies linked to flysch...
Ichnofabric analysis, as a relatively young ichnological approach, has witnessed rapid growth, showing its usefulness in basin with special attention to palaeoenvironmental interpretations. The ichnofabric approach evolved from the description of trace composition and intensity bioturbation integrate detailed information on numerous features, such primary sedimentary structures, diversity, cross-cutting relation ships or tiering structures. This development been associated application study...
Abstract Trace fossils provide valuable palaeoenvironmental information in hemipelagic settings. This is particularly true the case of Zoophycos , an easily recognizable trace fossil core. At IODP site U1385, was found throughout interval representing 1.5 Ma, covering 45 glacial–interglacial cycles mediated by obliquity (41 ka) and short‐term eccentricity (100 ka). most common sediments deposited during glacial times when sedimentation rate intermediate primary production high seasonal....
ABSTRACT Ichnological analysis in cores has grown substantially the past two decades because of its importance fields such as paleoecology, biostratigraphy, or reservoir characterization. Yet core entails some added difficulties comparison to ichnological outcrop study, especially modern marine sediments. Quantitative pixel conducted on high-resolution images is used facilitate study bioturbation from site U1385 IODP Expedition 339 Gulf Cadiz. Lateral and vertical variation values obtained...
Abstract Although bioturbation is commonly recognized in contourites, only a few studies have analyzed the ichnological content of these deposits detail. These mainly focused on meso-scale bigradational sequence (a coarsening upward followed by fining-upward resulting from variations current velocity). Here we present data gravitational cores collected along NW Iberian Margin showing systematic variation across proximal to distal depocenters within large-scale elongated contourite drift....
The accumulation of an Organic Rich Layer (ORL) during the last deglaciation in Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean Sea) and its link to changes deep intermediate water circulation are here investigated. Benthic foraminiferal assemblages shallow infaunal foraminifer Uvigerina peregrina δ13C record support establishment sustained high organic matter fluxes, thus eutrophic conditions at sea floor, late phase ORL (Younger Dryas early Holocene periods). Since fluxes were lower (mesotrophic...
Ichnological analysis is considered a very useful tool in several disciplines of Earth Sciences, including palaeoenvironmental studies and hydrocarbon exploration. Sediment cores provide excellent records, despite difficulties encountered during study runs due to specific core features. Previous using 2D images have proven the benefits high-resolution image treatment improving visibility ichnological features, but with limitations. 3D computed tomography (CT) techniques were applied...
The ichnofacies model proposed by Seilacher in the 1960’s stands as one of main tools used ichnological research. Based on integration numerous and sedimentological observations, it entails a precise characterization trace fossil assemblage. Differentiation fossils may be relatively easy outcrops, but cores are different matter, particularly modern marine cores. Difficulties even more accentuated deep-sea pelagic hemipelagic, non-turbiditic, fine-grained deposits. application digital image...
The scientific application of 3D imaging has evolved significantly over recent years. These techniques make it possible to study internal features by non-destructive analysis. Despite its potential, the development in Geosciences is behind other fields due high cost commercial software and scarce free alternatives. Most was designed for Health Sciences, pre-settled workflows are not suited geoscientific materials. Thus, an outstanding challenge define using alternatives Computed Tomography...
