Abstract:
During Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 189, five sites were drilled in the Tasmanian Seaway with the objective to constrain the paleoceanographic implications of the separation of Australia from Antarctica and to elucidate the paleoceanographic developments throughout the Neogene (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001a, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.189.101.2001). Sediments ranged from Cretaceous to Quaternary in age and provided the opportunity to describe the paleoenvironments in the Tasman Seaway prior to, during, and after the separation of Australia and Antarctica. This study will focus on postseparation distribution of calcareous nannofossils through the Miocene. Miocene sediments were recovered at all five Leg 189 sites, and four of these sites were studied in detail to determine the calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy.
Hole 1168A, located on the western Tasmanian margin, contains a fairly continuous Miocene record and could be easily zoned using the Okada and Bukry (1980, doi:10.1016/0377-8398(80)90016-X) zonation. Analysis of sediments from Hole 1169A, located on the western South Tasman Rise, was not included in this study, as the recovered sediments were highly disturbed and unsuitable for further analysis (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001c, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.189.104.2001). Holes 1170A, 1171A, and 1171C are located on the South Tasman Rise south of the modern Subtropical Front (STF). They revealed incomplete Miocene sequences intersected by an early Miocene and late Miocene hiatus and could only be roughly zoned using the Okada and Bukry zonation. Similarly, Hole 1172A, located on the East Tasman Plateau, contains a Miocene sequence with a hiatus in the early Miocene and in the late Miocene and could only be roughly zoned using the Okada and Bukry (1980, doi:10.1016/0377-8398(80)90016-X) zonation. This study aims to improve calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphic resolution in this sector of the mid to high southern latitudes. This paper will present abundance, preservation, and stratigraphic distribution of calcareous nannofossils through the Miocene and focus mainly on biozonal assignment.
