The Early Toarcian was characterized by two large perturbations to the carbon cycle: a positive trend associated with increased organic matter burial and ocean anoxia, pronounced negative isotope excursion (CIE). We contrast geochemical evolution in carbonate phases of successions: one from Paris Basin (Sancerre core, comprising black shales), other Lusitanian (Peniche section very minor lithological expression bottom water anoxia). Our aim identify whether these cycle were related,...
For decades, Mesozoic tectono-halokinetic structures have been increasingly recognized in the peripheral French alpine basins. However, reconstructing full history and mechanisms of halokinesis during these regions remains challenging due to overprinting effects Cenozoic compressive tectonics, which erased much evidences earlier deformations.This severely limits our understanding interplay between diapirism, sedimentary processes basins, role pre-compressional inheritances shaping internal...
The Eocene-Oligocene Transition (‘EOT’) marks a global deterioration in climate associated with the establishment of Antarctic polar ice cap, but is poorly constrained continental areas. In Europe, marked seasonality and major replacement European flora fauna by Asian species (the ‘Grande Coupure’ described Stehlin, 1909) were recorded during this period. Deposits at ocean-continent interface are Paris Basin EOT, from lagoon-marine to lacustrine...
The Bat oasis is located in the valley of Wadi al Hijr, western piedmont Hajar Mountains. Occupied since Neolithic period, archaeological complex well-known for its Bronze Age funerary and domestic structures related to first Oman has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While central beginning be well studied, there scarce information on network with peripheral sites local-scale environmental change across mid- late Holocene. sediment-filled depression Rakhat Madrh, c. 7.5 km NE...
Abstract. In order to understand the significance of worldwide deposition black shale facies in Early Toarcian (~ 183 Ma), considerable attention has been drawn this Jurassic sub-stage over last 3 decades. The discovery a pronounced negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE) within shales disrupting generally positive trend isotopes stimulated many studies, particularly with view establish local versus global nature major geochemical phenomenon. Here we document sedimentological and...
Abstract Well exposed and stratigraphically well constrained by numerous studies, the Zumaia section is one of best places to conduct studies on Palaeocene in basin facies. Thus, this has been chosen [Schmitz et al., 2011] as a stratotype Selandian basal terminal limits (GSSP: Global boundary Stratotype Section Point). The sediments consist carbonate hemipelagites interbedded with fine (Maastrichtian Selandian) siliciclastic (Thanetian Eocene) turbidites. purpose work geochemically...
The first centuries AD in the Mediterranean region have generally been associated with a warm, stable climate. High-resolution sedimentary archives sensitive to local environmental change are needed switch from this general frame regional scale. Similarly cave speleothems, laminated carbonate deposits can grow channels of aqueducts which transported water karstic springs during Roman period. aqueduct Nîmes (SE France) exceptional since they may represent several paleoenvironmental record...
A chemostratigraphic study (δ 13 C and δ 18 O) of the Late Cenomanian Turonian chalk succession from “Craie 701” Poigny borehole (near Provins in Paris Basin, France) provides new high-resolution stable carbon oxygen isotope data. Correlation bentonite horizons isotopic trends with its English Chalk equivalent allows development a precise stratigraphic framework. O variations are synchronous widespread throughout European epicontinental seas Tethyan Ocean. In borehole, Oceanic Anoxic Event 2...
