Abstract

The Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) of the base of Langhian Stage (base of the Middle Miocene Subseries) is defined at a level of 17.84 m in the "Lower La Vedova Beach" section in central Italy. This level marks the mid-point of the darker marly interval above "Megabed IV" which has been astronomically calibrated to the most prominent ∼100-kyr eccentricity maximum, with an astronomical age of 15.981 Ma according to La2004 nominal solution, and of 15.978 Ma according to the La2011, in the 405-kyr maximum around 16.0 Ma. The GSSP level in the Lower La Vedova Beach section corresponds closely to the top of Chron C5Cn (at 15.795 m), which is considered the principal event for recognizing the boundary globally. This magnetic reversal with an astronomical age of 16.017 Ma (Turco et al., 2017) (15.97 Ma in Hilgen et al., 2012 ATNTS, 2012; 15.994 Ma in Raffi et al., 2020 in GTS2020) is preferred to the historical guiding criterion, the Praeorbulina datum, which has been complicated by taxonomic confusion and revision (Turco et al., 2011a), and hence is considered less suitable for recognizing the boundary. The Lower La Vedova Beach section is preferred to the St. Peter's Pool section (in Malta) as it has an independent astronomical tuning and a better paleomagnetic signal. With the selected astrochronologic criterion close to an important magnetic reversal boundary we follow standard procedures developed by SNS to define Neogene GSSPs over the years. This procedure guarantees that the Langhian GSSP is directly incorporated in the integrated astronomically dated stratigraphic framework that nowadays underlies our standard GTS, while it is sufficiently close to the top of Chron C5Cn that the latter can be used for correlating the boundary time-stratigraphically on a global scale. In addition, a Standard Auxiliary Boundary Stratotype (SABS) is designated at Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Site U1337, in the eastern equatorial Pacific, with the aim to dir

Abstract

The study of Burano paleo-lagoon&mdash, Wetland of International Value, has allowed us to better define and extend the reconstruction of the Holocene paleoenvironmental evolution of the paleo-lagoons previously studied, located on the Tyrrhenian coast in central Italy. The investigated area is located in Southern Tuscany near the Burano Lake. The area was investigated by means of field surveys, historical maps, 16 coring, sedimentological, palynological and microfaunal analyses (foraminifera and ostracods), combined with robust geochronological control provided by 52 datings (14C and OSL). The study allowed us to reconstruct the environmental and morphological evolution of the Burano paleo-lagoon during the last 8000 years and to hypothesize a Rise Sea Level (RSL) curve. In this context, 5 main evolutionary phases have been recognized. (1) before 7.5 ka BP in the southern-eastern part, an open lagoon developed, (2) ~6 ka BP a barrier-lagoon system develops throughout the entire area and the lagoon progressively changed from open to closed one, (3) ~5 ka BP the width of the lagoon increases and a lacustrine facies appears along the entire axis of the coastal basin, (4) ~4 ka BP the lacustrine facies shows a discontinuous distribution respect to the previous phase, (5) during the last 4 ka the lacustrine facies disappear and the lagoon turns into a wetland area.

21. Paleoecological insights on latest Oligocene-early Miocene planktonic foraminifera from the J-Anomaly Ridge (IODP Hole U1406A)

Abstract

This paper focuses on a paleoecological study conducted on planktonic foraminifera from upper Oligocene-lower Miocene deposits of the J-Anomaly Ridge (North Atlantic Ocean). Paleoclimatic studies are crucial to better comprehend how climatic changes occurred in the past and how they might influence global climate in the next few decades. Oceanic currents are the predominant vehicle for heat transport across the globe and therefore organisms living within the water mass can supply much information on paleoceanographic settings. In total, 53 samples from IODP Hole U1406A were selected in the core interval 96-24 CCSF-M to perform statistical analyses (R-mode cluster analysis, principal component analysis) to describe ecogroup distribution and a paleoclimatic curve based on shallow dwelling taxa. The species have been subdivided into three ecogroups referring to recent studies on planktonic foraminiferal paleoecology. The statistical analyses allowed a preliminary screening of the distribution of the foraminiferal assemblages in the biozonal interval of O7-M3. The ecogroup distribution curves revealed the behavior of each group along the section, highlighting the interconnection among the various habitats. Finally, the abundance of the surface taxa was used to trace a paleoclimatic curve (SDPC) describing the superficial water variations. Those results were compared with the Alkenone Sea Surface Temperature (SST) record from IODP Site U1404 and the δ18O North Atlantic stack from the literature. This comparison showed a good match among the foraminiferal and geochemical data, allowing the correlation of SDPC and SST minima with well-known glacial events of the North Atlantic Ocean. This study supports the potential of census data of planktonic foraminifera in paleoclimatic studies when geochemical data are not available.
