    Genesis of microbialites as contemporaneous framework components of deglacial coral reefs, Tahiti (IODP 310)

    No full text
    Deglacial reefs from Tahiti (IODP 310) feature a co-occurrence of zooxanthellate corals with microbialites that compose up to 80 vol% of the reef framework. The notion that microbialites tend to form in more nutrient-rich environments has previously led to the concept that such encrustations are considerably younger than the coral framework, and that they have formed in deeper storeys of the reef edifice, or that they represent severe disturbances of the reef ecosystem. As indicated by their repetitive interbedding with coralline red algae, the microbialites of this reef succession of Tahiti, however, formed immediately after coral growth under photic conditions. Clearly, the deglacial reef microbialites present in the IODP 310 cores did not follow disturbances such as drowning or suffocation by terrestrial material, and are not "disaster forms". Given that the corals and the microbialites developed in close spatial proximity, highly elevated nutrient levels caused by fluvial or groundwater transport from the volcanic hinterland are an unlikely cause for the exceptionally voluminous development of microbialites. That voluminous deglacial reef microbialites generally are restricted to volcanic islands, however, implies that moderately, and possibly episodically elevated nutrient levels favored this type of microbialite formation

    Multiproxy approach to the stydy of Croce della Moggiona cold seep-carbonates (Northern Apennines)

    Seep-carbonates are described in both the present day marine environments and in the sedimentary record of ancient basins. They are the result of microbially-mediated processes that occur on the seafloor where hydrocarbon-rich fluids are seeping. These carbonate bodies have received considerable attention in the international scientific community because they may provide a clue to investigate the origin and the composition of the fluids from which they have precipitated. In the Northern Apennine foredeep, seep-carbonates are concentrated in pelitic successions from different settings. Seep carbonates occur in large turbiditic bodies (Mt. Cervarola and Marnoso-arenacea Formations) and in slope hemipelagites (Vicchio and Verghereto Marls, and Ghioli di letto mudstones).In this study we present evidence for a long time of hydrocarbon seepage during the Middle Miocene in the form of newly discovered occurrences of carbonate bodies and concretions. About ninety authigenic carbonate bodies occur in the examined Fosso Riconi outcrop. Carbonates are irregularly scattered, both laterally and vertically, and have irregular shapes and geometries, varying from stratiform to amygdaloid, lenticular bodies and pinnacles. The thickness vary from 50 dm to 7-8 m, with lateral extension ranging from 1 to 3 m. Carbonate lithologies consist of marly limestones and calcareous marls. The lateral conctact with host sediments varies from sharp to transitional and interfingering. The marly limestone, calcareous marl lithologies are typically associated with abundant fossil remains, mainly consisting of thick recrystallized closed shells and moulds of lucinid and vesicomyid-like clams and rare and small gastropod shells. Lucinids and vesicomyids are infaunal ad semi-infaunal bivalves living in cold-seep areas and sustained by mutual symbiosis with sulphide-oxidizing bacteria. The authigenic carbonate mineralogy is dominated by low Mg-calcite, ankerite, and dolomite. Petrographic observations show complex facies relationships, as indicative of different stages in seep-carbonates growth. Stable isotope analyses of these nodules show depleted δ13C values which are consistent with the formation of carbonates in a cold-seep setting. Thus, the Fosso Riconi carbonates exhibit numerous characteristics (mineralogy, sedimentary fabrics, fossil assemblages) found at modern and ancient hydrocarbon seeps.The objectives of this contribution are to investigate the nature and source of the fluids associated with Fosso Riconi carbonate precipitation and to delineate an evolutionary model of the formation and development of these seep-carbonates.We suggest that examined seep-carbonates may be a consequence of episodes of varying fluid-venting rates

Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report

    Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′

    First evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
