“…Grain density values are mostly between pure sandstone and pure limestone (Kennedy, 2015). Grain density generally increases with increasing bulk density and decreasing porosity, and, like bulk density, shows correlations of low grain density with some of the marine subunits, consistent with observations at Site M0078 (see Figure F29 in the Site M0078 chapter [McNeill et al, 2019d]; Figure F25).…”

“…Eighteen samples from Sections 381-M0079A-9P-4 through 41R-1 (33.91-149.1 mbsf ) were analyzed from the isolated/semiisolated Subunit 1-2. The nonmarine, planktonic, oligotrophic-mesotrophic P. ocellata complex dominates the diatom assemblages in this subunit, as observed in Hole M0078A (see Figure F13 in the Site M0078 chapter [McNeill et al, 2019d]). Nonmarine planktonic Pantocsekiella cf.…”

“…In Unit 1, a decrease in density occurs in some interpreted marine intervals (e.g., 22.83-35.80, 83.11-89.20, and 130.92-136.96 mbsf ), consistent with observations from Holes M0078A and M0079A ( Figure F30; also see Figure F29 in the Site M0078 chapter and Figure F25 in the Site M0079 chapter [McNeill et al, 2019c[McNeill et al, , 2019d). An increase in density also occurs at approximately 36 mbsf, near the boundary between Subunits 1-3 and 1-4, marking a change in average bulk density from 1.74 g/cm 3 (0-35.80 mbsf ) to 1.81 g/cm 3 (35.80-136.96 mbsf ).…”

“…Approximately 97% of the bulk density values are greater than 1.7 g/cm 3 (2% less than the average for Hole M0079A), and only about 13% are greater than 2.2 g/cm 3 (11% higher than Hole M0079A). Bulk density increases with depth with some relatively sharp increases in density compared with Holes M0078A and M0079A (Figure F30; also see Figure F29 in the Site M0078 chapter and Figure F25 in the Site M0079 chapter [McNeill et al, 2019c[McNeill et al, , 2019d). Notable changes in bulk density correlate with the four major lithostratigraphic unit boundaries; however, density variations also occur within each lithostratigraphic unit ( Figure F30).…”

“…Drilling-induced normal faulting was also observed but is not as well developed as at Site M0079 (see below). Natural faults were distinguished relatively easily from drilling-induced faulting using criteria described for Site M0078 (see Structural geology in the Site M0078 chapter [McNeill et al, 2019c]). The shallowest observed natural fault is in Core 381-M0080A-14P (45.30 mbsf ).…”

Deep-Water Syn-rift Stratigraphy as Archives of Early-Mid Pleistocene Palaeoenvironmental Signals and Controls on Sediment Delivery

The timing and character of coarse siliciclastic sediment delivered to deep-water environments in active rift basins is governed by the complicated interactions of tectonics, climate, eustasy, hinterland geology, and shelf process regime. The stratigraphic archives of deep-water syn-rift basin-fills provide records of palaeoenvironmental changes (e.g. climate and vegetation) in onshore catchments, particularly where they are connected by narrow shelves. However, a chronostratigraphically constrained record of climatic fluctuations and process responses in the hinterland source area recorded in deep-water deposits is rare. Here, we integrate a fully cored research borehole with outcrop exposures of deep-water syn-rift stratigraphy to reconstruct palaeoenvironmental change within the stratigraphy of the West Xylokastro Fault Block in the Corinth Rift, Greece. We used palaeomagnetic and palynological analyses from borehole core samples to develop a chronostratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental model, which we compare to global records of Early-Mid Pleistocene climate and eustatic change. This framework allows establishment of a chronostratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental context to stratigraphic variability encountered in outcrop and in the borehole. Our results show that the ∼240 m thick studied succession was deposited from ∼1.1 to 0.6 Ma across the Early-to Mid-Pleistocene transition. During the Early Pleistocene, obliquity-paced climatic variability is largely coherent with vegetation changes of forest coverage within catchments on the southern margin of the Corinth Rift. Large magnitude, eccentricity-paced cyclicity dominant after the Mid-Pleistocene Transition can alter sediment supply from onshore catchments during the warming stages of severe interglacials where expansion of forest cover may trap sediment within catchments. Conglomeratic grade sediment delivery to the deep-water is enhanced during glacial periods, interpreted to reflect sparse forest cover and large winter storms, and during semi-arid, grassland-dominated interglacial highstands during severe interglacials. Base-level rise during minor interglacials is easily outpaced by high sediment supply and is seldom represented stratigraphically. The study demonstrates the value of integrated palynological and sedimentological studies, whilst applying a conservative approach to interpretation when dealing with sparse palynological records from proximal deep-water stratigraphy. The case study provides conceptual models where climatic and vegetation changes can begin to be incorporated as a key control on sediment flux from onshore drainage basins to deep-water syn-rift successions.
