Nannofossil biohorizons for ODP Leg 133 sites

Paleontological studies conducted subsequent to the completion of Leg 133 led to refinements of the biostratigraphy for the Leg 133 sites. These biostratigraphic refinements bear on the calculations of sedimentation rates and on the age-depth plots prepared for the Initial Reports volume for Leg 133. To make available the revised data to anyone who may wish to make use of it, the revised biostratigraphic information is presented here in tabulated form. Revised age-depth plots also are presented for all of the sites to facilitate comparison of sedimentation rate curves and to identify intervals where significant changes have been made based on post-cruise studies. The revised age-depth plots include calcareous nannofossils only, and the revised data have been taken from thechapters contributed for this volume (Gartner et al., 1993, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.133.213.1993; Wei and Gartner, 1993, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.133.216.1993). Planktonic foraminifer biostratigraphy revisions became available subsequently and could not be readily incorporated. The age-depth plots for Sites 812 through 818 were made with the (ADP) program provided to ODP by Dave Lazarus.

Pleistocene sedimentology of ODP Hole 133-820A from the northeastern Australian margin

A principal objective at Site 820, situated on the outer shelf, upper slope of the northeastern Australian continental margin, was to test the relationships between changes in Pleistocene sea level and sedimentary packages produced on a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic continental margin. To this end, we have examined the downcore distribution of grain size, magnetic susceptibility, and calcium-carbonate content throughout Hole 820A and, in particular, the top 35 meters below the seafloor (mbsf). These data are compared with variations in the oxygen-isotope signal defined for the same hole and are interpreted as indicating sea-level oscillations. The distribution of sand, mud, calcium carbonate of the mud fraction and total sample, and magnetic susceptibility during the last 20,000 yr defines the position of a sea-level regression (41,000-18,000 yr B.P.), a lowstand, early (18,000-9,400 yr B.P.) and late transgressions (9400-900 yr B.P.), and a highstand (4900 yr to the present). The regression is seen first in a high-carbonate content peak. Calcium carbonate constituents mainly comprise skeletal carbonate grains, with abundant planktonic and benthic foraminifers, and lime muds. The lowstand is characterized by a maximum abundance of the sand fraction, which contains dominantly skeletal carbonate grains and a minor abundance of lithoclasts. Sand-sized terrigenous sediments are proposed to have bypassed the continental shelf during a lowstand of sea level. Sedimentation rates throughout the regression and lowstand are low (3.0 cm/k.y.). The early transgression, marked by highest values in magnetic susceptibility, displays a rapid increase in sedimentation rate that coincided with an increase in terrigenous mud. Highest sedimentation rates of 82.3 cm/k.y. occurred during the late transgression, with increasing percentages of lime-mud. A decrease in noncarbonate constituents in the mud fraction during the late transgression and highstand of sea level is thought to be the result of restricted inner-shelf sedimentation of terrigenous sediments. The same relationship is also seen in the major sea-level oscillation, which is interpreted as isotope stage 6.

Stable oxygen isotope record of Globigerinoides ruber of ODP Site 133-820 off the Great Barriere Reef

Oxygen-isotope ratio measurements are presented for the planktonic species Globigerinoides ruber collected from shallow-water, upper-slope sediments from Holes 820A and 820B in 280 m of water, on the seaward edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Correlation of the Site 820 isotope curve with deep-sea reference curves of the Pacific Ocean (Core V28-238, Hole 677A, Hole 607A) permits the definition of isotope stages 1 to 19 in the top 145 m of Holes 820A and 820B. However, paleontological data indicate that stages 4 and 7 might be missing and that two hiatuses occur at a depth of 8.05 to 12.1 and 34.55 to 35.8 mbsf. Using deep-sea Hole 677A as a reference for ice-volume variations, we determine the difference in isotopic signature between it and Site 820. We propose that this difference is a regional signal representing a progressive 4°C increase in surface-water temperature at Site 820. The proposed temperature change was initiated at about 400 k.y. and corresponds to a change from high-to-low frequency variations in Pleistocene isotope signals. We postulate that these changes may have catalyzed the growth of the Great Barrier Reef. The shift also coincides with changes in seismic character and some physical and chemical sediment characteristics.

Paleomagnetic analysis of ODP Site 133-820

Paleomagnetic analysis of sediment samples from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 133, Site 820, 10 km from the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef, is undertaken to investigate the mineral magnetic response to environmental (sea level) changes. Viscous remanent magnetization (VRM) of both multidomain and near-superparamagnetic origin is prevalent and largely obscures the primary remanence, except in isolated high-magnetization zones. The Brunhes/Matuyama boundary cannot be identified, but is expected to be below 120 mbsf. The only evidence that exists for a geomagnetic excursion occurs at about 33 mbsf (-135 k.y.). Only one-half the cores were oriented, and many suffered from internal rotation about the core axis, caused by coring and/or slicing. The decay of magnetic remanence below the surface layer (0-2 mbsf) is attributed to sulfate reduction processes. The magnetic susceptibility (K) record is central for describing and understanding the magnetic properties of the sediments, and their relationship to glacio-eustatic fluctuations in sea level. Three prominent magnetic susceptibility peaks, at about 7, 32, and 64 mbsf, are superimposed on a background of smaller susceptibility oscillations. Fluctuations in susceptibility and remanence in the ôbackgroundö zone are controlled predominantly by variations in the concentration, rather than the composition of ferrimagnetics, with carbonate dilution playing an important role (type-A properties). The sharp susceptibility maxima occur at the start of the marine transgressions following low stands in sea level (high d18O, glacial maxima), and are characterized by a stable single-domain remanence, with a significant contribution from ultra-fine, superparamagnetic grains (type-C properties). During the later marine transgression, the susceptibility gradually returns to low values and the remanence is carried by stable single-domain magnetite (type-B properties). The A, B, and C types of sediment have distinctive ARM/K ratios. Throughout most of the sequence a strong inverse correlation exists between magnetic susceptibility and both CaCO3 and d18O variations. However, in the sharp susceptibility peaks (early transgression), more complex phase relationships are apparent among these parameters. In particular, the K-d18O correlation switches to positive, then reverts to negative during the course of the late transgression, indicating that two distinct mechanisms are responsible for the K-d18O correlation. Lower in the sequence, where sea-level-controlled cycles of upward-coarsening sediments, we find that the initial, mud phase of each cycle has been enriched in high-coercivity magnetic material, which is indicative of more oxic conditions. The main magnetic characteristics of the sediments are thought to reflect sea-level-controlled variations in the sediment source regions and related run-off conditions. Some preliminary evidence is seen that biogenic magnetite may play a significant role in the magnetization of these sediments.
