  • Sequence stratigraphy of the Miocene section, southern Gulf of Mexico
    Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2017
    Co-Authors: Hilda Clarisa Gutiérrez Paredes, Octavian Catuneanu, Ulises Hernández Romano
    Abstract:

    Abstract This study focuses on the interpretation of stratigraphic sequences through the integration of biostratigraphic, well log and 3D seismic data. Sequence analysis is used to identify significant surfaces, systems tracts, and sequences for the Miocene succession. The depositional systems in this area are dominantly represented by submarine fans deposited on the slope and the basin floor. The main depositional elements that characterize these depositional settings are channel systems (channel-fills, channel-levee systems), frontal splays, frontal splay complexes, lobes of debrites and mass-transport complexes. Five genetic sequences were identified and eleven stratigraphic surfaces interpreted and correlated through the study area. The Oligocene-lower Miocene, lower Miocene and middle Miocene sequences were deposited in bathyal water depths, whereas the upper Miocene sequences (Tortonian and Messinian) were deposited in bathyal and outer neritic water depths. The bulk of the Miocene succession, from the older to younger deposits consists of mass-transport deposits (Oligocene-lower Miocene); mass transport deposits and turbidite deposits (lower Miocene); debrite deposits and turbidite deposits (middle Miocene); and debrite deposits, turbidite deposits and pelagic and hemipelagic sediments (upper Miocene). Cycles of sedimentation are delineated by regionally extensive maximum flooding surfaces within condensed sections of hemipelagic mudstone which represent starved basin floors. These condensed sections are markers for regional correlation, and the maximum flooding surfaces, which they include, are the key surfaces for the construction of the Miocene stratigraphic framework. The falling-stage system tract forms the bulk of the Miocene sequences. Individual sequence geometry and thickness were controlled largely by salt evacuation and large-scale sedimentation patterns. For the upper Miocene, the older sequence (Tortonian) includes sandy deposits, whereas the overlying younger sequence (Messinian) includes sandy facies at the base and muddy facies at the top; this trend reflects the change from slope to shelf settings.

  • clay mineral assemblages in the zhaotong basin of southwestern china implications for the late Miocene and pliocene evolution of the south asian monsoon
    Palaeogeography Palaeoclimatology Palaeoecology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Chunxia Zhang, Zhengtang Guo, Chenglong Deng, Nina G Jablonski, Rixiang Zhu
    Abstract:

    Abstract The characteristics of the evolution of the South Asian monsoon during the late Miocene through the Pliocene are highly debated. To obtain a better understanding, we studied the clay mineral assemblages and the clay fraction content of a high-quality sedimentary sequence (borehole core ZK1) spanning the interval of 8.8–2.62 Ma in the Zhaotong Basin, southwestern Yunnan Province, on the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. Smectite, kaolinite, illite and vermiculite were the four main clay minerals identified, and changes in their relative abundance reveal a distinct pattern of climate change during the study interval. Until the very late Miocene kaolinite and smectite, with a small amount of illite, were dominant, suggesting a relatively warm and humid climate; from ~6.2 to ~2.8 Ma smectite was dominant, with a minor amount of kaolinite and illite, indicating a relatively cool and humid climate; and from ~2.8 to 2.62 Ma vermiculite (HIV) and illite were dominant, with a minor amount of kaolinite, indicating a relatively cold and humid climate. The variation in clay mineral assemblages indicate substantial changes in the South Asian monsoon in the Zhaotong Basin that promoted a change from a warm and humid climate in the late Micoene to cool and humid climate in the very late Miocene through Pliocene, followed by a gradual trend towards a cold and humid climate in the very late Pliocene. Comparison with records from elsewhere indicates that the observed variations in the South Asian monsoon were mainly controlled by global cooling rather than by Tibetan Plateau uplift.

  • Geochemical secular variation of magma source during Early to Middle Miocene time in the Niigata area, NE Japan: Asthenospheric mantle upwelling during back-arc basin opening
    Lithos, 2005
    Co-Authors: Kenji Shuto, Hiroyuki Ishimoto, Yuka Hirahara, Makoto Sato, Koji Matsui, Norie Fujibayashi, Eiichi Takazawa, Kaori Yabuki, Masamichi Sekine, Masayasu Kato
    Abstract:

    Abstract In the Niigata region of the NE Japan arc, basaltic and intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks (silicic andesite, dacite and rhyolite) have been produced during the Early Miocene, Middle Miocene and Pliocene ages, spanning the pre-Japan Sea opening to post-opening stages. Early Miocene basaltic rocks are characterized by enriched Sr and Nd isotopic signatures (initial 87Sr / 86Sr (SrI) = 0.70557 to 0.70592 and initial 143Nd / 144Nd (NdI) = 0.51255 to 0.51262), whereas Middle Miocene and Pliocene basaltic rocks are slightly enriched than MORB in terms of SrI (0.70314–0.70416) and NdI (0.51286–0.51310). Early Miocene basaltic rocks are also characterized by higher abundances of HFSE and LREE, and higher Zr / Y compared to Middle Miocene and Pliocene basaltic rocks. The geochemical features of Early Miocene basaltic rocks are almost identical to those of basaltic rocks found in continental rift zones, such as the Rio Grande rift. The different geochemical signatures of Early and Middle Miocene basaltic rocks can be ascribed to the geochemical differences in the mantle source. Apart from andesitic rocks of the Kakuda area, most of Early and Middle Miocene intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks from the Niigata region show significantly higher SrI values (0.70673–0.70773) and lower NdI values (0.51234–0.51254) than Early Miocene basaltic rocks, indicating a lower crustal origin for these more felsic volcanic rocks. A possible tectono-magmatic model for the production of post-Early Miocene volcanic rocks from the Niigata region includes: (1) at the Early Miocene (22–20 Ma); commencement of asthenospheric mantle upwelling followed by both partial melting of the overlying lithospheric mantle and crustal rifting, resulting in the production of continental rift zone-type basaltic magmas which have either erupted on the surface or initiated partial melting of the lower crust to produce more felsic magmas, and (2) at the Middle Miocene (after 15 Ma); thinning of the overlying lithosphere due to the opening of the Japan Sea. This was associated with asthenospheric upwelling followed by partial melting of the asthenosphere to generate extensive basaltic magmas. These were either erupted or melted the lower crust to generate more felsic magmas. Such tectono-magmatic processes may also be applicable to the generation of Early to Middle Miocene basaltic to felsic volcanic rocks in many other parts of the back-arc margin of the NE Japan arc.
