Carbonate stromatolites within siliciclastic deposits: A wealth of paleoenvironmental information

Conference Bain, R J - Geological Society of America, Abstracts with Programs; (United States)

Stromatolites, constructed of both calcite and dolomite, occur encased in Pennsylvanian-age siliciclastic lacustrine deposits of southeastern Ohio. As a result of their occurrence and preservation within noncarbonate rock, detailed and somewhat unique paleoenvironmental and diagenetic interpretations are possible. Analyses including stratigraphic, petrographic, X-ray diffraction, microprobe and stable isotopes provide information regarding the microbial community, sedimentation and growth rates, energy, environmental control on stromatolite morphology, and paleosalinity fluctuations. Spherical oncoids, convex-upward hemispheroids and stacked disks which are interbedded with quartz sandstone display internal structure of up to six generations of basal laminae overlain by laminated columns. Crevices between columns commonly containmore »« less
Evidence of late Quaternary wet/dry climate episodes derived from paleoclimatic proxy data recovered from the paleoenvironmental record of the Great Basin of western North America: Paleobotanical studies

Technical Report

Through the integration of several avenues of paleoclimatic proxy data, the authors intend to arrive a definite conclusions regarding the frequency of periods of wetter climate, and to drive information regarding the magnitudes of these episodes, rates of their onset and demise, and the climatic conditions under which wetter climate can occur. These will in turn lead to rough estimates of: (1) the amounts of rainfall available for recharge during past periods of effectively wetter climate; and (2) the durations and spacing of such events that provide an indication of the amount of time that the area was subjected tomore »« less

Differing styles of stromatolite diagenesis: Implication for stromatolite origin and diagenesis of Upper Cambrian peritidal carbonates

Conference Glumac, B ; Walker, K R - Geological Society of America, Abstracts with Programs; (United States)

Stromatolite morphology and the characteristics of associated sediments are commonly used to discern environments of stromatolite formation. In this study, the authors suggest that study of stromatolite diagenesis allows a better understanding of the origin of stromatolites and the diagenesis of carbonate sediments. The Upper Cambrian Maynardville Formation of the Conasauga Group in Tennessee consists of subtidal and peritidal carbonate lithologies. These contain several types of cryptalgal structures: (1) cryptalgal (microbial) laminites; (2) laterally linked hemispheroidal stromatolites; (3) stacked hemispheroidal stromatolites; (4) columnar stromatolites; (5) digitate stromatolites; and (6) thrombolites. The succession from 1 to 6 above represents increasing watermore »« less
Organic delta/sup 13/C varies slightly with salinity in microbial mats at Guerrero Negro, Baja California, Mexico: Implications for stromatolite /sup 13/C values

Conference Des Marais, D J ; Peterson, E ; Kwong, E - Geol. Soc. Am., Abstr. Programs; (United States)

Organic carbon preserved in Precambrian stromatolites has delta/sup 13/C values typically in the range -19 to -35, whereas microbial mats growing today in marine hypersaline environments have delta/sup 13/C values in the range -6 to -14. This /sup 13/C shift has been attributed to selective preservation of isotopically light organics, a decline in atmospheric CO/sub 2/ levels, or the restriction of microbial stromatolitic communities to hypersaline environments in the Phanerozoic due to grazing pressures in lower salinity environments. The salinity argument requires that the organic delta/sup 13/C of microbial mats increases with salinity, perhaps ranging from -20 to -35 inmore »« less
