Abstract:
Pelagic sedimentation during the Early Cretaceous at Site 603 produced alternations of laminated marly limestone and bioturbated limestone--a facies typical of the "Blake-Bahama Formation" of the western Atlantic. This limestone is a nannofossil micrite, rich in calcified radiolarians, with variable amounts of organic matter, pyritized radiolarian tests, fish debris, and micaceous silt. The laminated marly limestone layers are enriched in organic matter when compared with the intervals of bioturbated limestone. The organic carbon is predominantly terrestrial plant debris; where the organic-carbon content is in excess of 1%, there is also a significant marine-derived component. Laminations can result either from bands of alternately enriched and depleted opaque material and clay, or from bands of elongate lenses (microflasers) of micrite, which could be plastically deformed pellets or diagenetic features. The alternating intervals of laminated and bioturbated structures may have resulted from combined changes in surface productivity, in the influx of terrigenous organic matter, and in the intensity of bottom circulation, which led to episodic oxygen depletion in the bottom water and sediments.
Variations in the relative proportions of laminated clay-rich and bioturbated lime-rich limestone and in the development of cycles between these structures make it possible to subdivide the Lower Cretaceous pelagic facies into several subunits which appear to be regional in extent. Bioturbated limestone is dominant in the Berriasian, laminated marly limestone in the Valanginian and Barremian-lower Aptian, and well-developed alternations between these end members in the Hauterivian. The Hauterivian to lower Aptian sediments contain abundant terrigenous clastic turbidites associated with a submarine fan complex. These changes in the general characteristics of the pelagic sediment component of the Blake-Bahama Formation at Site 603 are synchronous with those in the Blake-Bahama Basin (Sites 534 and 391) to the south. Carbonate sedimentation ended in the early Aptian, probably because of a regional shoaling of the carbonate compensation depth.
