Geography
Country: | Antarctica |
Coordinates: | 63.3° South, 136.0° East (view map) |
Paleocoordinates: | 63.9° South, 132.7° East |
Basis of coordinate: | stated in text |
Time
Period: | Paleogene | Epoch: | Eocene |
Stage: | Ypresian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 2 |
Key time interval: | Early/Lower Eocene | ||
Age range of interval: | 56.00000 - 47.80000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
Stratigraphy comments: The lowermost 110 meters of sediments recovered at IODP Site U1356 (895.5 to 1000.08 meters below sea floor [mbsf], lithostratigraphic Units X and XI) are dated as Early to Middle Eocene in age based on the integration of dinoflagellate cyst (dinocyst) biostratigraphy and magnetostratigraphy (Expedition 318 Scientists. Site U1356. in Escutia, C., Brinkhuis, H., Klaus, A., and the Expedition 318 Scientists. Proc. IODP 318 (2011)). |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | bioturbation,green silty claystone |
Secondary lithology: | sandstone |
Lithology description: Unit XI (Cores -101R to -106R; 948.8 to 1000.08 mbsf) consists predominantly of dark green, bioturbated claystone that is faintly stratified (millimetre- to meter-scale) as defined by colour variations (light to dark bands), and subordinate laminated siltstone and sandstone interbeds. | |
Environment: | shallow subtidal indet. |
Geology comments: Based on information from dinocyst assemblages, sediments of Units X and XI were deposited in mid-shelfal settings (Expedition 318 Scientists. Site U1356. in Escutia, C., Brinkhuis, H., Klaus, A., and the Expedition 318 Scientists. Proc. IODP 318 (2011)). |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | original sporopollenin |
Size of fossils: | microfossils |
Abundance in sediment: | abundant |
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | core,chemical,hydrochloric,hydroflouric,survey of museum collection |
Reason for describing collection: | paleoecologic analysis |
Collectors: | IODP |
Collection method comments: This research used samples and data provided by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP).
A total of 145 palynological samples, taken from the Eocene interval of Site U1356 at a resolution of 20-30 cm, were processed using identical protocols at the Institute of Geosciences of Goethe University Frankfurt and the Laboratory of Palaeobotany and Palynology of Utrecht University. |
