(Table 3) Foraminiferal 87Sr/86Sr ratios and ages of ODP Hole 162-986D sediments

Site 986 was drilled to 965 meters below seafloor (mbsf) on the western Svalbard margin to record the onset of glaciations and to date and document the glacial evolution in the Svalbard-Barents Sea region during the Pliocene-Pleistocene. In this paper, results of sedimentological analyses are discussed in light of seismic stratigraphy and new age determinations. The latter were difficult to obtain in the glacial deposits, and datums are sparse. Through combined paleomagnetic data, biostratigraphy, and Sr isotopes, however, an overall chronology for the main evolutionary steps is suggested. The cored sequence at Site 986 is younger than 2.6 Ma, and the lower 60 m of the section contains no evidence of a major glacial influence. An initial glaciation is interpreted to have occurred at ~2.3 Ma, resulting in increased sand deposition from debris flows at Site 986 and forming a prominent seismic reflector, R7. However, glaciers probably did not reach the shelf break until ~1.6-1.7 Ma (Reflector R6), after which the depositional environment was dominated by diamictic debris flows. A gradual change in source area from the Barents Sea to Svalbard is recorded primarily by changes in carbonate and smectite content, ~355 mbsf (Reflector R5), at an interpolated age of 1.4-1.5 Ma. During the last ~1 m.y., Site 986 has undergone more distal deposition as the main depocenters have shifted laterally. This has resulted in less frequent debris flows and more turbidites and hemipelagic deposits, with a slight fining upward of the cored sediments.

(Table T1) Pore-water strontium content, and Sr isotope composition and ages of pore waters and sedimentary carbonates of ODP Leg 171B sites

Strontium concentrations and 87Sr/86Sr values were measured on pore-water and sedimentary carbonate samples from sediments recovered at Sites 1049-1053 on the Blake Spur during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 171B. These sites form a 40-km-long depth transect extending along the crest of the Blake Spur from near the upper edge of the Blake Escarpment (a steep cliff composed of Mesozoic carbonates) westward toward the interior of the Blake-Bahama Platform. Although these sites were selected for paleoceanographic purposes, they also form a hydrologic transect across the upper eastern flank of the Blake-Bahama Platform. Here, we use pore-water strontium concentrations and isotopes as a proxy to define patterns of fluid movement through the flanks of this platform. Pore-water strontium concentration increases with depth at all sites implying that strontium has been added during sediment burial and diagenesis. The isotopic values decrease from seawater-like values in the shallow samples (~0.70913) to values as low as 0.707342 in one of the deepest samples (~625 meters below seafloor). The change in pore-water strontium isotopic values is independent of the strontium isotopic compositions predicted from the host sediment age and measured on bulk carbonate in some samples. In most cases the difference between predicted sediment strontium isotopic composition and measured value is less than ±2 about the mean of the measured strontium value. Both the increase in concentration and the decrease in the strontium isotope values with increasing depth indicate that strontium was expelled from older carbonates. The strontium concentration and isotope profiles vary between sites according to their proximity to the Blake-Bahama Platform edge. Profiles from Site 1049 (nearest the platform edge) show the greatest amount of mixing with modern seawater, whereas the site most distal to the platform edge (Site 1052) shows the most significant influence of older, deeper carbonates on the pore-water strontium isotopic composition.

(Table 1) Strontium isotope data for marine barnacles, ODP Hole 178-1103A

Strontium isotope ratios from multiple plates of two barnacle fragments from Site 1103 (Ocean Drilling Program Leg 178) provide maximum age estimates for the oldest glacial sedimentary package drilled. Three moderately preserved barnacle fragments from 262.63 meters below seafloor (mbsf) yielded a mean best-fit age of 7.4 Ma. A single, well-preserved fragment from the same horizon yielded a best-fit age of 12.2 Ma. Two moderately preserved fragments from 262.98 mbsf yielded a mean best-fit age of 7.8 Ma. The calculated mean strontium ages of 7.8 and 7.4 Ma agree well with the diatom estimates of 8.68 to 5.89 Ma for the underlying sediments.
