Abstract:
Planktonic foraminifers from the late Aptian and the Cenomanian-Turonian of Site 585, East Mariana Basin, provide new age data for western Pacific geologic events. The Aptian assemblage dates the volcaniclastic sequence from the bottom of Site 585 and includes several species newly reported from the Pacific Ocean. The Cenomanian-Turonian assemblage constrains the organic-carbon-rich anoxic strata recorded at Site 585 to the Cenomanian-Turonian oceanic anoxic event. Sporadic occurrences of mostly rare, poorly preserved planktonic foraminifers record pulses of sedimentation during the Aptian-Albian, Cenomanian-Turonian, Coniacian-Santonian, and Campanian-Maestrichtian that transported and reworked the pelagic sediments downslope to abyssal depositional environments.
