Abstract:
Stratigraphic information from strontium, oxygen, and carbon isotopic ratios has been integrated with diatom and planktonic foraminifer datums to refine the Oligocene to early Miocene chemostratigraphy of Site 803. The Sr isotope results are based on analyses of mixed species of planktonic foraminifer and bulk carbonate samples. 87Sr/86Sr ratios of bulk carbonate samples are, in most cases, less radiogenic than contemporaneous seawater. Estimated sediment ages based on planktonic foraminifer 87Sr/86Sr ratios, using the Sr-isotope-age relation determined by Hess and others in 1989, are in moderately good agreement with the biostratigraphic ages. Chronological resolution is significantly enhanced with the correlation of oxygen and carbon isotope records to those of the standard Oligocene section tied to the Geomagnetic Polarity Time Scale at Site 522. Ages revised by this method and other published ages of planktonic foraminifer datums are used to revise the Oligocene stratigraphy of Site 77 to correlate the stable isotope records of Sites 77 and 803.
Comparison of the Cibicidoides stable isotope records of Sites 77 and 574 with paleodepths below 2500 m in the central equatorial Pacific, and Site 803 at about 2000-m paleodepth in the Ontong Java Plateau reveals inversions in the vertical d18O gradient at several times during the Oligocene and in the early Miocene. The shallower water site had significantly-higher d18O values than the deeper water sites after the earliest Oligocene 18O enrichment and before 34.5 Ma, in the late Oligocene from 27.5 to at least 25 Ma, and in the early Miocene from 22.5 to 20.5 Ma. It is not possible to ascertain if the d18O inversion persisted
during the Oligocene/Miocene transition because the deeper sites have hiatuses spanning this interval. We interpret this pattern to reflect that waters at about 2000 m depth were cold and may have formed from mixing with colder waters originating in northern or southern high-latitude regions. The deeper water appear to have been warmer and may have been a mixture with warm saline waters from mid- or low-latitude regions. No apparent vertical d13C gradient is present during the Oligocene, suggesting that the age difference of these water masses was small.
