Depths were above wave base, substrates were oxygenated, and the water column was periodically hyposaline due to freshwater influx. Foraminifera in sediment core-top samples have up to two orders of The debates on the depositional environment of foraminiferal fossils have become the hot spot of researches again in China. 36 depositional origin or is a combination of the two. An example of autocyclic sedimentation on a carbonate platform was provided by Septfontaine M. (1985): Depositional environments and associated foraminifera (lituolids) in the middle liasic carbonate platform of Morocco.- Introduction: Foraminifera are testate, single-celled eukaryotic, protozoan’s and are one of the most abundant microfossils found in marine sediments and other depositional settings. Our results suggest that foraminifera can be used to reconstruct SST and δ 18 O in this complex depositional environment, but caution must be taken when the downcore lithology indicates turbidites and possible sediment transport. Based on depositional geometries, biogenic contents and lateral and vertical variations of facies, three depositional models are proposed to illustrate the evolution of the Asmari carbonate platform. The primary objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that abundance variations of benthic foraminifera can be used to refine the bathymetric zonation of deep Gulf of Mexico depositional environments based on their water mass associations. Our results suggest that foraminifera can be used to reconstruct SST and δ 18 O in this complex depositional environment, but caution must be taken when the downcore lithology indicates turbidites and possible sediment transport. Benthic foraminifera tests from the sediment cores taken from the Vestnesa Ridge, one of the northernmost known marine methane hydrate reservoir, were studied for their visual appearance, mineral and stable carbon isotopic composition in order to explore their indicator potential in a methane seep environment. Pamela Hallock, E. Charlotte Glenn; Large foraminifera; a tool for paleoenvironmental analysis of Cenozoic carbonate depositional facies. The 'larger' foraminifera are benthonic (i.e., bottom-dwelling) species loosely grouped on the basis of their relatively large size (greater than one millimetre diameter). Based on depositional geometries, biogenic contents and lateral and vertical variations of facies, three depositional models are proposed to illustrate the evolution of the Asmari carbonate platform. 2004. 0000004468 00000 n

Agglutinated foraminifera are benthic microfossils found in rocks of Cambrian through Holocene age and in most marine and brackish environments, particularly in clastic facies. interpretations for both formations using benthic foraminifera in combination with lithological association, sedimentary structures and early diagenetic features. ... foraminifera while planktonic foraminifera are common (Figure 2), the sediments being typically bedded, bed thickness of about 20-50 cm, grey to brownish grey in color, hard, and showing an upward thickening succession. The occurrence of the larger benthic foraminifera in the Margala Hill Limestone indicated a shallow marine depositional environment in a carbonate ramp platform (Akhter and Butt, 1999). The Lockhart Limestone is 50 meters thick in the Potwar Sub-basin and 85 meters thick in the Hazara Sub-basin. The Rya Formation has provided fossils of a number of sharks , ammonites , bivalves and ichnofossils . Paleobathymetry—the determination of ancient water depth (paleodepth)—is the paleoenvironmental interpretation most widely used in petroleum exploration because of its value in determining the depositional history of a basin.
