Abstract Organic-carbon-rich black shale beds that are associated with positive carbon isotope excursions and yield pelagic fossils are evidence of short-term changes in ocean water mass and are important chronostratigraphic correlation tools. Five recognized Cretaceous Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs) are well documented in many basins on the Texas Comanche Shelf and the northern Mexico Chihuahua Trough: lower Aptian OAE 1a, Aptian-Albian OAE 1b, upper Albian OAE 1c, uppermost Albian OAE 1d, and Cenomanian-Turonian OAE 2. Two of these chemozones have previously been documented in Mexico and Texas, OAE 1b by a positive δ13C excursion of 2‰ and OAE 1d with a positive δ13C excursion of 1.6–1.9‰. Here we document for the first time OAE 1c in gray marine shale of the Boracho Formation in West Texas by a positive δ13C excursion of 1‰; the Boracho records the late Albian flooding of the Western Interior. On the interior shelf in shallow water carbonates the absence of carbon isotopic excursions suggests that dysaerobic waters did not affect the upper part of the water column. Review of biotic assemblages of each Gulf of Mexico Albian OAE suggests that water depths ranged from at least 300 m to just below storm wave base at about 15–30 m. These Albian OAEs were identified in the Mediterranean area and in the deep Atlantic Ocean and are recognized on the North American cratonic blocks, which supports the hypothesis that ocean/climate conditions favoring low-oxygen water masses were widespread although deposition was in local basins.

阿尔比(下白垩纪)碳同位素化学带、德克萨斯科曼奇大陆架和墨西哥吉娃娃海槽:对 OAE 的影响

摘要 与碳同位素正偏移相关并产生远洋化石的富含有机碳的黑色页岩层是海洋水团短期变化的证据,是重要的年代地层对比工具。在德克萨斯科曼奇陆架和墨西哥北部奇瓦瓦海槽的许多盆地中,有五个公认的白垩纪海洋缺氧事件 (OAE) 有据可查:下阿普蒂安 OAE 1a、阿普蒂安-阿尔比安 OAE 1b、上阿尔比安 OAE 1c、上阿尔比安 OAE 1d 和森诺曼尼-Turonian OAE 2。之前在墨西哥和德克萨斯州记录了其中两个趋化带,OAE 1b δ13C 偏移为 2‰,OAE 1d δ13C 偏移为 1.6–1.9‰。在这里,我们首次通过 1‰ 的 δ13C 正偏移记录了德克萨斯州西部 Boracho 组灰色海相页岩中的 OAE 1c;Boracho记录了西部内陆的晚期阿尔比洪水。在浅水碳酸盐岩的内陆架上,没有碳同位素漂移表明缺氧水不影响水柱的上部。对每个墨西哥湾 Albian OAE 生物组合的回顾表明,水深范围从至少 300 m 到略低于风暴波基部约 15-30 m。这些 Albian OAE 在地中海地区和大西洋深处被发现,并在北美克拉通地块上被识别,这支持了有利于低氧水团的海洋/气候条件广泛存在的假设,尽管沉积在当地盆地。在浅水碳酸盐岩的内陆架上,没有碳同位素漂移表明缺氧水不影响水柱的上部。对每个墨西哥湾 Albian OAE 生物组合的回顾表明,水深范围从至少 300 m 到略低于风暴波基部约 15-30 m。这些 Albian OAE 在地中海地区和大西洋深处被发现,并在北美克拉通地块上被识别,这支持了有利于低氧水团的海洋/气候条件广泛存在的假设,尽管沉积在当地盆地。在浅水碳酸盐岩的内陆架上,没有碳同位素漂移表明缺氧水不影响水柱的上部。对每个墨西哥湾 Albian OAE 生物组合的回顾表明,水深范围从至少 300 m 到略低于风暴波基部约 15-30 m。这些 Albian OAE 在地中海地区和大西洋深处被发现,并在北美克拉通地块上被识别,这支持了有利于低氧水团的海洋/气候条件广泛存在的假设,尽管沉积在当地盆地。对每个墨西哥湾 Albian OAE 生物组合的回顾表明,水深范围从至少 300 m 到略低于风暴波基部约 15-30 m。这些 Albian OAE 在地中海地区和大西洋深处被发现,并在北美克拉通地块上被识别,这支持了有利于低氧水团的海洋/气候条件广泛存在的假设,尽管沉积在当地盆地。对每个墨西哥湾 Albian OAE 生物组合的回顾表明,水深范围从至少 300 m 到略低于风暴波基部约 15-30 m。这些 Albian OAE 在地中海地区和大西洋深处被发现,并在北美克拉通地块上被识别,这支持了有利于低氧水团的海洋/气候条件广泛存在的假设,尽管沉积在当地盆地。
