Abstract:
During Ocean Drilling Program Leg 125, a thick sequence of middle Eocene to Pleistocene pelagic sediments, volcanogenic sediments, and predominantly extrusive volcanic rocks was recovered. Calcareous nannofossils were examined from 15 holes at nine sites, but Eocene to Miocene calcareous nannofossils were found only from Holes 782A, 784A, 786A, and 786B. In portions of Holes 786A and 786B, datable nannofossil oozes were found intercalated among volcanic flows. The nannofossil biostratigraphy of these holes indicates the presence of three well-defined hiatuses: within the lower Oligocene, between the upper Oligocene and middle Miocene, and between the middle and upper Miocene.
An attempt was made to correlate the magnetochronological data with the first or last occurrences of the following species: Sphenolithus distentus, Reticulofenestra bisecta, Reticulofenestra reticulata, and Cyclicargolithus floridanus abisectus n. comb. The results indicate that the FO of Sphenolithus distentus can extend down to Zone CP16 (34.7 Ma), the LO of Reticulofenestra bisecta best defines the boundary between CP19a and CP19b (23.5 Ma), and the LO of Cyclicargolithus f. abisectus n. comb, can extend up to Subzone CN5a (12.5 Ma). No latest Oligocene Cyclicargolithus f. abisectus n. comb, acme was observed. Cyclicargolithus abisectus is considered a subspecies or variant of Cyclicargolithus floridanus because their LOs coincide. As a consequence of these observations, we have modified the definitions of Bukry's Subzones CP14a, CP14b, and CNla.
Analyses of sediment-accumulation rates indicate that the rates increased gradually from the Eocene to Miocene. This is especially evident since the late Miocene in Hole 782A. In different parts of the Izu-Bonin forearc basin, however, the rate is not everywhere the same and appears to vary according to the import of volcanogenic materials.
