Strontium-isotopic correlation of Oligocene to Miocene sequences, New Jersey and Florida

Abstract: We use Sr-isotopic age estimates to date siliciclastic, carbonate, and mixed siliciclastic-carbonate Oligocene and Miocene sequences for the New Jersey Coastal Plain and Florida Peninsula and to correlate sequence boundaries with the deep-sea δ 18 O record and the inferred eustatic record of Exxon. The New Jersey onshore Oligocene to lower Miocene sequences correlate reasonably well with the Florida Miocene sequences. However, the majority of middle Miocene sequences mapped in New Jersey are missing from centr… Show more

“…Analysis of ODP onshore coreholes drilled at Island Beach, Atlantic City and Cape May established a detailed geochronology of six different lower and lower middle Miocene sequences (Kw0, Kw1a, Kw1b, Kw1c, Kw2a and Kw2b; 24.2–15.6 Myr, Table 1; Sugarman et al , 1997; Miller et al , 1998). Each sequence begins with a basal unconformity covered by a thin TST and a thicker HST.…”

“…All samples in the Lower Globigerina Limestone member provided CLF values consistent with a warm climatic phase which should be related to the Chattian heating documented by the oxygen isotope curve of Miller et al (1987Miller et al ( , 1989Miller et al ( , 1991aMiller et al ( , 1991bMiller et al ( , 2005 Pekar and Miller 1996;Sugarman et al 1997;Shackleton et al 1999;Pekar et al 2002, 2006and Miller et al 2005 and below the beginning of the cooling trend that culminates in the Mi1 event. Based on the studies of Pekar et al (2006) and Raffi et al (2006), it is possible to date the two climatic events at about 25.1 Ma and 23.4 Ma respectively.…”

“…The following samples were made: 1) Two high-purity, low-Sr (ϳ2 ppm) calcites synthesized from NIST SRM 915a and Specpure CaCO 3 for characterization of Ca-dimer production. 2) Calcite and aragonite synthesized from modern Tridachna shell (EN-1) powder ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio ϭ 0.709167 Ϯ 0.000016 (Ϯ2 standard error, or 2) (Sugarman et al, 1997). The Sr concentration of the EN-1 powder (1325 ppm) was determined by isotope dilution using thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) at the Center for Isotope Geochemistry at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB).…”
