Abstract:
During Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 105, a thick sequence of lower Eocene to lower Oligocene sediments was recovered from Hole 647A in the southern Labrador Sea. These sediments contain diverse, well-preserved, high-latitude calcareous nannofossil flora. The nannofossil biostratigraphy of the hole indicates the presence of a minor hiatus between Zones NP 16 and NP 17 in the upper middle Eocene and a barren interval separating Zones NP 13 and NP 15. Species abundance is highest within the lower to middle Eocene and starts to decline near the base of the upper Eocene. No major change in the nannoflora was observed across the Eocene/Oligocene boundary, although a slight decrease in species abundance was recorded. The Paleogene calcareous nannofossils of nearby DSDP Site 112 were reexamined and compared with those of Site 647. Several cores were reassigned to different nannofossil zones. The calcareous nannoflora are dominated by high-latitude indicative species and also exhibit a high diversity, which suggests the influence of more temperate water masses in this region during Eocene and Oligocene time. One new subspecies from the middle Eocene, Sphenolithus furcatolithoides labradorensis, is described.
