Trace fossils as tools to unravel oxygen conditions: A case study from Los Molles Formation (Toarcian-lower Callovian)

Abstract

Trazas fósiles como herramienta para reconocer las variaciones de oxigenación: un caso de estudio en la Formación Los Molles (Toarciano - Calloviano inferior) La Formación Los Molles en la sección de Chacay Melehue (Toarciano - Calloviano inferior), flanco sur de la Cordillera del Viento, Cuenca Neuquina, comprende depósitos de offshore-plataforma, y de forma subordinada, depósitos de canal-albardón y lóbulo generados por descargas de densidad. Estos depósitos están asociados a dos suites de trazas fósiles: (1) Chondrites y Trichichnus asociados a los depósitos de fango, y (2) Chondrites, Trichichnus y Phycosiphon asociados a la parte distal de los albardones generados por descargas de densidad. La baja diversidad y abundancia de trazas fósiles sugiere condiciones ambientales estresantes. En particular los intervalos que contienen Chondrites y Trichichnus poseen abundante pirita framboidal, lo que indica una baja disponibilidad de oxígeno en el sedimento. La presencia de Phycosiphon en los albardones implica cortos periodos de aumento de la oxigenación causados por el ingreso de corrientes de densidad originadas en aguas someras.

The Toarcian - lower Callovian Los Molles Formation in the Chacay Melehue section (southern limb of Cordillera del Viento - Neuquén Basin) comprises offshore-shelf deposits and subordinately, channel-levee and lobe deposits produced by density currents. These deposits are characterized by two distinctive trace fossil suites: (1) Chondrites and Trichichnus in the offshore-shelf mud, and (2) Chondrites, Trichichnus, and Phycosiphon occurring in distal levee deposits. The generally low diversity and abundance of the trace fossils suggest severe environmental conditions. In particular, in the intervals containing Chondrites and Trichichnus, pyrite framboids are abundant and most likely indicate low oxygen availability within the sediment. The presence of Phycosiphon in the levee deposits implies short periods of improved oxygenation caused by the density currents originating in shallow water.
