Abstract:
he downward transport of surface sediment deep into the sediment column by the Zoophycos-producing animal leads not only to large age differences between the Zoophycos structure and surrounding host sediment but also to large differences in age between different foraminifer species found inside the trace fossil. In the late Quaternary material from the southwestern Portuguese continental slope examined in this study, age differences of up to 2590 years were observed between the planktic foraminifer species Globigerinoides ruber and Globigerina bulloides. These differences are caused by the mixing of surface and host material with different abundances of the two species. If there are differences in the abundance of the two species at the surface and/or in the host sediment, plenty of relatively young foraminifers may be mixed with few relatively old ones, or vice versa. The age differences between species caused by the combination of deep-reaching bioturbation by the Zoophycos producer and abundance variations may be considerably larger than the age differences caused by the homogenizing bioturbation in the mixed layer.
