“…On the other hand, lowstand carbonate platforms commonly correspond to a bottom massive thick bed (up to few tens-of-metres thickness), which is capped by a drowning surface (i.e., hardground) and/or evolves upwards to decimetre to metre thick retrograding strata and/or to basin marls (Bover-Arnal et al, 2009, 2011a, 2014 Caprinidae disappeared from the Tethyan and Atlantic regions at the boundary between the Early and Late Aptian (Masse, 1989;Skelton and Gili, 2012). Caprinid lithosomes of late Early Aptian age are rare in carbonate platform deposits formed on the northern margin of the Tethys (Skelton and Gili, 2012), but common in those of isolated central Tethyan platforms such as the Southern Apennines (D'Argenio et al, 1992;Masse et al, 1993;Carannante et al, 2009), Apulia (Masse, 1992;Graziano, 1999Graziano, , 2000Graziano, , 2013Luciani et al, 2006) and Adriatic…”

“…In other sub-basins of the Maestrat Basin, this transgressive record is characterized as well by a marly interval(Salas, 1987;Salas et al, 2001;Moreno-Bedmar et al, 2010Martín-Martín et al, 2013; Garcia et al, 2014) and locally, also by drowning of lowstand carbonate platforms(Bover-Arnal et al, 2014). Transgressive sedimentary records and drowning of carbonate platforms around the boundary between the Early and Late Aptian are also well known from other basins worldwide(Haq et al, 1988;Hardenbol et al, 1998;Haq, 2014), for example in Mexico(Moreno-Bedmar et al, 2012, 2013, western Pacific(Röhl and Ogg, 1998), central Iran(Wilmsen et al, 2013), south-eastern France(Masse and Fenerci-Masse, 2013) and…”

Internal architecture of mass‐transport deposits in basinal carbonates: A case study from southern Italy

Submarine mass‐transport deposits represent important stratigraphic heterogeneities within slope and basinal sedimentary successions. A poor understanding of how their distribution and internal architecture affect the fluid flow migration pathway may lead to unexpected compartmentalization issues in reservoir analysis. Studies of modern carbonate mass‐transport deposits mainly focus on large seismic‐scale slope failures; however, the near‐platform basinal depositional environment often hosts mass‐transport deposits of various dimensions. The small‐scale and meso‐scale (metres to several tens of metres) carbonate mass‐transport deposits play a considerable role in distribution of sediment and therefore have an impact on the heterogeneity of the succession. In order to further constrain the geometry and internal architecture of mass‐transport deposits developed in near‐slope basinal carbonates, a structural and sedimentological analysis of sub‐seismic‐scale mass‐transport deposits has been undertaken on the eastern margin of the Apulian carbonate platform in the Gargano Promontory, south‐east Italy. These mass‐transport deposits, that locally comprise a large proportion (50 to 60%) of the base of slope to basinal sediments of the Cretaceous Maiolica Formation, typically display a vertically bipartite character, including debrites and slump deposits of varying volume ratios. A range of brittle and ductile deformation styles developed within distinct bed packages, together with the presence of both chert clasts, folded chert layers and spherical chert nodules, suggest that sediments were at different stages of lithification prior to downslope movement associated with mass‐transport deposits. This study helps elucidate the emplacement processes, frequency and character of subseismic‐scale mass‐transport deposits within the basinal carbonate environment, and thereby reduces the uncertainties in the characterization of subsurface carbonate geofluid reservoirs.

“…The occurrence of microbialites with abundant thaumatoporellacens (mostly spheroidal forms) during oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) seems to be another interesting topic for further study (e.g., GRAZIANO, 2013: OAE 1a, KORBAR et al, 2012. A cross-reference is hereby given to the "out-of-balance" facies rich in microbial ("bacinellid") crusts and other structures assumed to be coeval to the Early Aptian OAE 1a (e.g., IMMENHAUSER et al, 2005;RAM-EIL et al, 2010).…”

mainly Devonian) shallow-water carbonates, spherical to irregular shaped microfossils with thin, apparently homogeneous or perforate micritic walls are widely reported. They are classically referred either to unilocular parathuramminid foraminifera, algae incertae sedis or calcispheres (e.g., Bisphaera, Cribrosphaeroides, Uslo nia, Vermiporella myna, Irregularina). Due to their morphology and microstructural features, they are interpreted here as possibly belonging to Thaumatoporella PIA, a widespread Mesozoic-Early Cenozoic taxon of incertae sedis showing a remarkably high morphological variability. In analogy to Mesozoic thaumatoporellaceans, Bisphaera ma levkensis BIRINA is interpreted as the cyst (i.e.= resting) stage of forms ascribed to different genera, i.e., Cribro sphaeroides, Uslonia and Vermiporella (here: Vermiporella myna WRAY). Note that in the Mesozoic many taxa were also synonymized with Thaumatoporella: Polygonella ELLIOTT, Lithoporella elliotti (EMBERGER), Messopota mella DRAGASTAN et al., Vermiporella crisiae DRAGASTAN et al., Micritosphaera SCOTT. This new interpretation, based on material from the Devonian of W-Germany and the Czech Republic, leads to taxonomic reassessment as Thaumatoporella? malevkensis (BIRINA) nov. comb. As a consequence of our interpretation, the rather long Mesozoic to Early Cenozoic (Anisian? to Lutetian) record of thaumatoporellaceans is supposed to be significantly larger than formerly assumed. The possible gap of no records of thaumatoporellaceans between the Middle Carboniferous and the Lower Triassic cannot substantially be argued at the moment (Lazarus effect of one taxon?; two homeomorphic but taxonomically different taxa).
