Abstract:
Quaternary sedimentation within the Japan Sea was controlled by the configuration of peripheral sills, seasonal and long-term climatic variability, and the resultant fluctuations in sea level (Tamaki, 1988). Prior to drilling in the area, piston cores recovered from its basins contained Pleistocene sediments having distinctive color and fabric variation. Sedimentological and geochemical studies conducted on those facies indicated that the variability in fabric was the result of fluctuating marine and/or terrigenous influx to the deep-water basins of the Japan Sea (see, for example, Chough, 1984; Matoba, 1984).
The sequences recovered during Leg 127 at Sites 794, 795, and 797 contain long, virtually undisturbed sequences (92.3, 123, and 119.9 mbsf [Hole 797B], respectively) of upper Miocene, upper Pliocene, and Pleistocene/Holocene sediments. The majority of these sequences consists of dark-colored (dark brown, green, and black) silty-clays, many of which are enriched in biogenic components (majority silicious, some carbonate) and/or organic matter, some containing pyrite and/or ash. These facies alternate with light-colored
silty-clays, some containing ash and some showing signs of bioturbation (for example, Tamaki, Pisciotto, Allan, et al., 1990, p. 425-433). The dark-to-light sequences are present throughout the section, although they are especially dominant throughout the Pleistocene (for a more detailed lithology of Quaternary sequences recovered at Sites 794, 795, and 797, see Follmi et al. 1992 and Tada et al., 1992).
This data report provides trace metal information on Pliocene-Pleistocene-Holocene samples at Sites 794,795, and 797. These data can be used (1) to provide information related to the depositional environments of the Japan Sea during the Quaternary period, (2) to permit comparisons between the dark organic-rich sediments recovered from this semi-enclosed basin and those reported for other silled basins (for example, the Mediterranean and Black seas), and (3) to permit comparisons between these sediments and contemporary equivalents found, for instance, beneath areas of high biogenic productivity.
By providing such data, one should be able (1) to determine more precisely the processes governing the deposition of sediments with various levels of organic matter within enclosed basins, (2) to compare individual basin-wide processes, (3) to look for and compare the signatures present as a result of climatic fluctuation, and (4) to attempt to identify the presence and/or absence of cyclicity within such sequences.
