A lost Tethyan evaporitic basin: Evidence from a Cretaceous hemipelagic meta‐selenite – red chert association in the Eastern Mediterranean realm

Abstract: Ancient evaporite deposits are geological archives of depositional environments characterized by a long-term negative precipitation balance and bear evidence for global ocean element mass balance calculations. Here, Cretaceous selenite pseudomorphs from western Anatolia ('Rosetta Marble')characterized by their exceptional morphological preservationand their 'marine' geochemical signatures are described and interpreted in a process-oriented context. These rocks recorded Late Cretaceous high-pressure/low-tempera… Show more

“…Moreover, aragonite is the stable modification of CaCO 3 in the high-pressure metamorphic domain above ca 0.3 GPa (30 000 bar), a value significantly above the pressure regime typical of even the deep-burial domain. In regions where oceanic basins and their sedimentary inventory were largely destroyed in subduction zones, preserved and exhumed portions of high-pressure meta-carbonates may display evidence of retrograde conversion of aragonite to calcite and, under favourable conditions, yield highly relevant information for plate tectonic and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions (see discussion in Scheffler et al, 2015Scheffler et al, , 2019.…”

“…These studies enforced the notion that the occurrence of these minerals could be taken as evidence of an evaporite precursor. Evaporites and length‐slow chalcedonic minerals are also found in deep marine pelagic sediments, and the latter in high Mg‐calcite shells found in turbidites (Jacka, 1974; Keene, 1983; Scheffler et al ., 2019), indicating that length‐slow silica minerals may also develop under non‐evaporitic conditions.…”
