Environmental change and carbon-cycle dynamics during the onset of Cretaceous oceanic anoxic event 1a from a carbonate-ramp depositional system, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Thomas Steuber et al.

Summary: This study presents the sedimentological and geochemical records of the negative carbon-isotope excursion (CIE) during the onset of the early Aptian oceanic anoxic event (OAE) 1a, obtained from a well core located 100 km offshore Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The results indicate the completeness and high sediment preservation rates of the C3 segment of the CIE, and reveal two episodes of cooling separated by rapid warming during the peak of the negative CIE. The study also discusses the impact of diagenesis and seawater pH on the oxygen-isotope record and suggests a major volcanic CO2 release as the cause of low carbonate saturation of seawater during the C3 segment.

Summary: The global correlation of negative excursions in delta C-13 values can be used to interpret major environmental changes, but diagenetic processes can affect these correlations.

Summary: This study examines the relative sea-level fluctuations during the Early Cretaceous period in the western Tethys. The findings show that the sea level had significant variations of up to 115 meters during this time. The driving processes behind these fluctuations remain unknown.

Neorbitolinopsis conica (Matsumaru in Matsumaru and Furusawa, 2007) comb. nov., a Lower Cretaceous marker from the Orbitolina Limestone of Central Iran

Felix Schlagintweit et al.

Summary: New biostratigraphic data from Central Iran provides information about the Lower Cretaceous Orbitolina limestone, including the presence of early Aptian and late Aptian biozones, as well as the identification of new species such as Neorbitolinopsis conica. The study also reveals the stratigraphic interval of upper Bedoulian to Gargasian in the area and records the first occurrence of Palorbitolinoides from the early Aptian of Central Iran.

Tracking magmatism and oceanic change through the early Aptian Anoxic Event (OAE 1 a) to the late Aptian: Insights from osmium isotopes from the westernmost Tethys (SE Spain) Cau Core

Rafael Martinez-Rodriguez et al.

Summary: This study presents a chemostratigraphic analysis of the relationship between global carbon and osmium cycles during the Aptian, showing the impact of Large Igneous Province (LIP) magmatism on seawater composition over a long period of time. The results highlight the asynchronous relationship between carbon and osmium cycles, and the slow recovery from the unradiogenic seawater composition produced by Ontong Java Plateau volcanism.

Impact of inversion tectonics on the spatial distribution of hydrocarbon traps in the NW Persian Gulf and the southern Dezful Embayment, SW Iran

Zahra Tajmir Riahi et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the Nourooz-Hendijan-Izeh Fault is a segmented pre-existing basement fault that underwent reactivation in at least seven tectonic phases. Inversion tectonics affected hydrocarbon trap development in the Late Cretaceous and controlled their current conditions in the NW Persian Gulf and the southern Dezful Embayment. Mild to moderate inversion structures are considered preferred petroleum exploration targets in the region.

Mateus Kroth et al.

Summary: This study conducted a sedimentological analysis of the coquina interval in the Aptian Romualdo Formation in the Araripe Basin, revealing the establishment of an epeiric sea in the region during the Early Cretaceous, the impact of sea-level fluctuations on paleogeographical configurations, and variations in sedimentary environments.

High-Resolution C-Isotope, TOC and Biostratigraphic Records of OAE 1a (Aptian) From an Expanded Hemipelagic Cored Succession, Western Tethys: A New Stratigraphic Reference for Global Correlation and Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction

Jose M. Castro et al.

Summary: This study presents a high-resolution carbonate C-isotope stratigraphy for the Aptian in the Cau core (Spain) and focuses on the early Aptian Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE 1a). It reveals a record of pulses of volcanism and methane emissions through sharp delta C-13(carb) negative spikes. The C-isotope profile across OAE 1a perfectly records the defined segments worldwide and proposes the Cau core as a new reference section for the Aptian.
