A multi-proxy record of the Latest Danian Event at Gebel Qreiya, Eastern Desert, Egypt

Abstract: Abstract. The Latest Danian Event (LDE) is a proposed early Palaeogene transient warming event similar to the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, albeit of smaller magnitude. The LDE can be correlated with a carbon isotope excursion (‘CIE-DS1’) at Zumaia, Spain, and the ‘top Chron C27n event’ defined recently from ocean drilling sites in the Atlantic and Pacific, supporting a global extent. Yet, records of environmental change during the LDE (e.g. warming and sea-level fluctuations) are still rare. In this study… Show more

“…, 2010). A multi‐proxy study at Gebel Qreiya indicates that the LDE is associated with sea‐level fluctuations (Sprong et al , 2011) augmenting evidence from earlier work (Speijer and Schmitz, 1998; Speijer, 2003; Guasti et al. , 2006).…”

“…Sprong et al [1,57] noted that the Latest Danian Event recorded in Egypt is composed by tow beds. The lower bed is characterized by laminated dark marls rich in pyrite and fish remains, poor benthic foraminifera and pyritized planktonic foraminifera.…”

“…Due to their behavior vis-à-vis of the environmental conditions, their diversity and their richness in different marine domains, benthic foraminifera are good indicators of palaeodepths (El-Dawy 2001;Bellier et al 2010;Speijer 2003;Sprong et al 2009Sprong et al , 2011Sprong et al , 2013Storme et al 2014). …”

“…This level coincides with the first appearance of the species Igorina albeari marker of the base of the P3b subzone of the Selandian. This level has been considered by some authors as the precursor event of Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) (Speijer 2003;Guasti et al 2005;Obaidalla et al 2009;Bornemann et al 2009;Youssef 2009;Soliman and Obaidalla 2010;Sprong et al 2009Sprong et al , 2011Sprong et al , 2013Farouk and El-Sorogy 2015). Several studies have been performed on the Danian/Selandian transition of the Nile Basin in Egypt but the limit had not been well identified despite the definition of the global stratotype (Luger 1985;Bassiouni et al 1991;Tantawy et al 2001;Hewaidy et al 2006;El-Azabi and Farouk 2011;Boukhary et al 2013).…”
