Case studies of Mesozoic calcareous nannofossils

Abstract

Kalkige Nannofossilien (KN) stellen seit dem Mesozoikum eine wichtige Komponente des marinen Phytoplanktons dar. Sie lassen sich zur Datierung mariner Sedimente und als paläoozeanografische Proxies nutzen. Die Ziele dieser Arbeit sind es, das Verständnis von Wechseln in den KN-Vergesellschaftungen (KNV) und von der Größenvariabilität einzelner Taxa im Hinblick auf vermutete Umweltveränderungen innerhalb verschiedener Zeitskalen zu verbessern. Hierzu wurden zwei Zeitscheiben untersucht. (1) DSDP-Bohrungen im Atlantik wurden im Hinblick auf Langzeit-Schwankungen (mehrere Mio. J.) in der Zusammensetzung der KNV während des Jura-Kreide Grenzbereichs bearbeitet. Außerdem wurde die Größenvariabilität von einigen KN-Taxa und der Anteil von KN an der pelagischen Sedimentation untersucht. (2) Paläoozeanografische Veränderungen auf Milankovitch-Zeitskalen (18-100 kJ) wurden für das "OAE 1d" (Alb) in SE Frankreich rekonstruiert und deren möglicher Einfluss auf die Morphologie der KN untersucht.

Calcareous nannofossils (CN) are an important component of the marine phytoplankton since the Mesozoic. For the fossil record they serve as accurate stratigraphic markers and palaeoceanographic proxies. The overall objectives of this thesis are to improve our understanding of changes within the assemblages of CN and their morphological variability with respect to palaeoenvironmental changes on different timescales. In order to achieve this two time slices have been studied. (1) Long-term changes (several million years) in the CN assemblage have been investigated from DSDP sites in the Atlantic across the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary. Furthermore, the morphology of common taxa and the contribution of CN to the pelagic sedimentation have been studied. (2) Short-term palaeoceanographic changes on the scale of Milankovitch cycles (18-100 kyr) have been reconstructed for the "OAE 1d" (Albian) in SE France and their possible influence on the morphology of CN has been evaluated.
