Paléoenvironnements de la mer de Champlain dans la région de Québec, entre 11 300 et 9750 bp : le site de Saint-Nicolas

Abstract: At Saint- Nicolas, in the Québec City Strait, tidal current sands of the Pleistocene-Holocene transition preserve an exceptional marine fossil fauna: 34 types of invertebrates in addition to the microfossils, three species of marine mammals, three species of seabirds and five species of fish, whose 14 C age varies between 10 060 and 9810 BP (δ 13 C = 0 ‰). These sands are overlain by tidalites which correspond to the last phase of the Champlain Sea, until ca. 9750 BP. The lithologic… Show more

“…For example, in late Champlain Sea deposits (ca. 9500 BP) at the Saint-Nicolas site, 14 C ages from littoral shells are at least 350 years older than 14 C ages from wood (Occhietti et al, 2001a; Table II). This ᭝R does not apply necessarily to all the basin, as demonstrated by two other crossdatings from samples of Mont Saint-Hilaire and its vicinity (Table II) where the additional local reservoir effect reaches 700 and 1170 years Occhietti and Richard, 2003;Richard and Occhietti, 2005; Table III).…”

“…Si l'on tient compte d'un effet réservoir marin additionnel à celui de 410 ans dans les eaux salées profondes du début de la Mer de Champlain, soit de 100 à 200 ans (correction totale de 500 ou 600 ans pendant le Dryas récent, Bard et al, 1994 ;Bondevik et al, 1999 ;Schoning, 2002), soit de 350 ans (correction additionnelle d'après le site de Saint-Nicolas au début de l'Holocène, dans les eaux superficielles ; Occhietti et al, 2001a), soit de 400 ans (appliqué par défaut par Dyke et al, 2003b), la fourchette extrême de l'âge estimé du début de l'invasion marine proposée par Rodrigues (1988Rodrigues ( , 1992) devient 11 300-10 600 ans 14 C BP à l'ouest du bassin et 11 500-11 000 ans 14 C BP dans la partie centrale du bassin. Cette fourchette d'âge couvre l'âge estimé à partir du lac Hertel.…”

“…Au Québec, à la fin de l'épisode de la Mer de Champlain au début de l'Holocène, l'effet du réservoir local mesuré dans des coquilles de faciès intertidaux par rapport à l'âge de fragments de bois est au minimum de 350 ans (Occhietti et al, 2001a). Ajoutés à l'effet du réservoir océanique d'une moyenne de 410 ans, c'est une correction de l'ordre de 760-800 ans qu'il faut alors appliquer aux âges conventionnels des coquilles marines (∂ 13 C = -25 ‰).…”

“…During postglacial isostatic rebound and associated forced regression, the emergent flanks of the basin around Pointe Saint-Nicolas were reworked by tidal currents (Cummings, 2000;Occhietti et al, 2001a), and fluvial systems began to incise their valleys. At Pointe Saint-Nicolas, a fluvial system reworked underlying fossiliferous sediments and deposited a crudely stratified gravel sheet (Fig.…”

“…During deglaciation, the greater Québec City region acted as a gateway for major meltwater discharges into the Atlantic Ocean Occhietti, 1988, 1999;Rodrigues and Vilks, 1994), experienced complex ice margin fluctuations (Blais and Shilts, 1989;LaSalle and Shilts, 1993;Fournier, 1998;Paradis and Bolduc, 1999;Bhiry et al, 2001), was transgressed by the Champlain Sea (Occhietti et al, 2001a), and underwent a subsequent episode of isostatic rebound and base level fall that forced shorelines to regress to their present day position. With limited bedrock striation and glacial landform data in regions below the Champlain Sea maximum (~200 m asl), these events are poorly constrained in time and space.…”
