The benthic foraminiferal turnover and extinction event (BEE) associated with the negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE) across Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is analyzed in Zumaia section (Spain), one of most complete expanded deep-water sequences known worldwide.New biostratigraphic, paleoecologic, paleoenvironmental data on foraminifera are correlated to information planktic calcareous nannofossil order evaluate possible causes consequences PETM.Gradual but rapid 18% species...
Abstract. The Paleocene–Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) is represented in numerous shallow and deep marine sections of the south–central western Pyrenees by a 2–4 m thick unit (locally up to 20 m) clays or marly intercalated within carbonate-dominated succession. This records massive input into Pyrenean Gulf fine-grained terrestrial siliciclastics, attributed an abrupt hydrological change during PETM. However, nature such remains controversial. Here we show that, addition deposits, large...
It has long been known that a major larger foraminifera turnover (LFT) occurred at the boundary between Thanetian and Ilerdian stages, but its possible correlation with Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) was unsuspected until work of Baceta (1996), controversial ever since. After summarizing history this controversy, we present information from three new sections conclusively resolve issue, all them placed less than 2 km to east classical Campo section in southern Pyrenees. In these...
The succession of the Maiella massif is analyzed, focusing on colonial-coral bearing deposits occurring just below and immediately above Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary. Upper Cretaceous material dominated by rudists larger benthic foraminifera with a significant contribution from colonial corals. In Lower Paleocene, first two groups are absent corals dominate skeletal assemblage. This supports hypothesis good recovery carbonate production following end extinction their overall resilience....
The Ilerdian Stage was created by Hottinger and Schaub in 1960 to accommodate a significant phase the evolution of larger foraminifera not recorded northern European basins, has since been adopted most researchers working on shallow marine early Paleogene deposits Tethys domain. One defining criteria stage is major turnover foraminifera, marked FO’s Alveolina vredenburgi (formerly A. cucumiformis) Nummulites fraasi. There now conclusive evidence that this coeval with onset Carbon Isotope...
A high resolution calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphic analysis was carried out across the Danian/Selandian transition at Zumaia section (western Pyrenees). In studied interval, spanning Varol’s Subzone NTp7a to Zone NTp9, a sequence of 10 distinct events is identified. The recognition these bioevents confirms continuous and expanded character allows an accurate correlation D/S between Zumaia, Danish reference sections more southerly Tethys sections. According this correlation, abrupt...
A taxonomic study of the larger foraminifera found in Paleocene rocks from Pyrenean basin has led to description sixty taxa including two new species: Alveolina korresensis and Valvulineria bacetai. In this work, we present a chronostratigraphic recalibration Shallow Benthic Zones (SBZ 1 SBZ 4) based on correlation with calcareous nannofossil planktic biozones, all integrated within stratigraphic framework platform depositional sequences established for whole domain. The samples were...
