Abstract:
The Agulhas Ridge, off the tip of Africa between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, is ideally located to capture the evolution of Paleogene-early Neogene circulation patterns associated with global cooling. Multiproxy records of productivity (biogenic barium (Baex), opal, CaCO3 mass accumulation rates (MARs)), nutrient and organic carbon burial (reactive phosphorus (Pr) MARs), and redox state of deep waters (U enrichment) from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1090 reflect hydrographic shifts in this region between the middle Eocene and early Oligocene (~9–33 Ma). Several peaks in increased export productivity and burial of organic matter occurred within the late Eocene (~36.5, ~34, and ~33.7 Ma), which along with surface hydrologic conditions favoring opaline organisms over calcareous organisms could have aided in the draw down of pCO2 to a threshold level that facilitated large ice sheet development on Antarctica in the earliest Oligocene. Our multiproxy approach illustrates the importance of vertical as well as spatial hydrographic reorganization in amplifying or driving climatic cooling of the middle Eocene to early Oligocene by facilitating increases in the relative or absolute burial of organic carbon.

Comment:
DEPTH, sediment/rock is given in mbsf. Analytical detection limits in typical size samples ( three times the standard deviation of replicate measures of a low concentration solution standard): 0.3 mmol/g for oxide-associated P, 0.4 mmol/g for authigenic P, 0.1 mmol/g for detrital P, and 0.1 mmol/g for organic P. With the exception of oxide-associated P concentrations in some samples, P concentrations were generally well above these detection limits. The relative errors (1s) on the long-term means solid consistency standards were relatively high for the components that constitute small fractions of total P, ranging from 14% to 40% for oxide-associated. P in the detrital component for site 1090 was well above the detection limit but more variable (20%) than the Ceara Rise consistency standard (6%).
