New Jersey Oligocene “Icehouse” sequences (ODP Leg 150X) correlated with global dO and Exxon eustatic records
Six Oligocene sequences and one earliest Miocene sequence were identified at Island Beach, Atlantic City, and Cape May, New Jersey, and correlated to the dO proxy of glacioeustasy and the eustatic record of Haq et al. by integrating lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, Sr isotopic stratigraphy, and magnetostratigraphy. Seven global dO increases are recognized by correlating dO records among deep...
متن کاملQuantitative Constraints on the Origin of Stratigraphic Architecture at Passive Continental Margins: Oligocene Sedimentation in New Jersey, U.s.a
The Oligocene of the New Jersey continental margin is divisible into as many as eight sequences and 23 lithofacies associations, documented in a series of seven boreholes across the modern coastal plain. This paper summarizes the sequence architecture of these deposits, interpreted from high-resolution biostratigraphy and Sr-isotope chemostratigraphy, and evaluates the factors that governed pat...
متن کاملCenozoic mass-transport facies and their correlation with relative sea-level change, New Jersey continental margin
Mass-transport deposits reveal something of the timing, source areas and depositional processes that contributed to the evolution of the New Jersey continental margin. Many of the mass-transport deposits rest upon prominent stratal surfaces and sequence boundaries permitting evaluation of the relationship between mass wasting and eustatic change. Five distinct mass-transport facies representati...
متن کاملSequence stratigraphy and depositional environment of the Oligocene deposits at Firozabad section, southwest of Iran based on microfacies analysis
The Asmari Formation was deposited in the foreland basin of southwest Iran (Zagros Basin). Carbonate sequences of the Asmari Formation consist mainly of large benthic foraminifera along with other skeletal and non-skeletal components. Three assemblage zones have been recognized by distribution of these large foraminifera in the study area that indicate Oligocene age (Rupelian-Chattian). Absence...
متن کاملOligocene to Holocene Mass-transport Deposits of the New Jersey Continental Margin and Their Correlation to Sequence Boundaries
The styles of soft-sediment deformation, mineralogy, and biostratigraphy of mass-transport deposits recovered from Leg 150 drill sites (902-906) provide important new information on the erosional and sedimentary history of the New Jersey continental slope and rise, and on the relationship of mass-wasting processes to changes in relative sea level. Nine distinct sedimentary facies are recognized...
