英文摘要 | A Neo-Tethyan upper Albian–Turonian (hemi-)pelagic carbonate succession (Sarvak Formation), accessible in outcrop in the Zagros, SW Iran, was investigated using sedimentology, microfacies analysis, planktonic foraminifera biostratigraphy, and carbon-isotope stratigraphy. The succession contains six biozones including Thalmanninella (Th.) appenninica, Th. globotruncanoides, Rotalipora cushmani, Whiteinella archaeocretacea, Helvetoglobotruncana Helvetica, and Marginotruncana schneegansi. Some of these biozones show variable stratigraphic positions throughout the Tethyan and Boreal realms that hinder correlation of the studied Iranian section with European reference sections. Therefore, the correlation of the existing biostratigraphic framework was complemented by carbonate carbon-isotope stratigraphy based on bulk carbonate material. Despite the low resolution of the presented carbon-isotope record, pronounced global events including the late Turonian Events, Cenomanian/Turonian Boundary (CTB) Event (OAE 2), and Albian/Cenomanian Boundary (ACB) Event can be distinguished. The δ13C excursions provide global synchronous time-lines for correlation. The distinguished biozones were compared among the sections regarding their stratigraphic positions relative to these time-lines. The correlation tentatively suggests that the biostratigraphic datum marking the ACB is diachronous with an SE–NW trend. First appearance datum (FAD) of Th. appenninica varies from the upper Albian to the lower Cenomanian. The FAD of Th. globotruncanoides is also variable from the upper Albian to the lower Cenomanian. However, the middle Cenomanian–Turonian biozones including Rotalipora cushmani and Whiteinella archaeocretacea zones are synchronous. Elevated pCO2 contributed to the gradual increase of the SST (sea surface temperature) during the Cenomanian, and the dramatic climax at the earliest Turonian. This trend closely correlates with the change from the diachronous ACB-biozones to synchronous CTB-biozones. Possibly, increasing SSTs provided temperature-tolerance range for the species throughout different latitudes, and assisted their rapid distribution. Moreover, the warming raised the sea level from the latest Albian to Turonian that inundated landbridges, resulting in an enhanced marine circulation and faster distribution of planktonic species throughout the Neo-Tethys Ocean. © 2019 Elsevier B.V. |
