英文摘要 | The Late Cretaceous epoch witnessed significant changes in climate and considerable perturbations in the global carbon cycle, among others leading to Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs). Investigating the pale-oceanographic setting in the southern Tethys (northern Egypt) is critical for a better understanding of the triggering mechanisms that occurred during deposition as a result of a greenhouse climate. Here we present bulk rock geochemical and stable isotopic proxies from the biostratigraphically well constrained Abu Roash A Member (180 m thick) deposited through the late Coniacian-earliest Campanian in the Abu Gharadig Basin of the north Western Desert of Egypt, to investigate whether there was a record of OAE3 and deposition of organic rich facies or oxic Cretaceous Oceanic Red Beds (CORBs). Paleoclimate in this low-latitude Tethyan setting was investigated, where warm to hot greenhouse climate prevailed based on specific dinoflagellate cyst taxa and regional correlation of the delta O-18(carb) trends, despite a long-term temperature fall from the mid-Santonian onwards. Low river discharge and terrigenous input during arid conditions, inferred from elemental geochemistry and clay mineralogy, led to low marine produc-tivity during enhanced carbonate production, and thus triggered low organic matter accumulation. The neodymium isotope signatures from bulk carbonate fractions along with available coupled ocean-atmosphere climate models indicate that the studied area witnessed a westward Tethys circumglobal current. These paleocirculation patterns caused enhanced water mixing, resulting in enhanced water column ventilation. These settings led to the deposition of organic-poor CORBs and the absence of the organic-rich OAE3 deposits. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
