Ammonites, taphonomic cycles and stratigraphic cycles in carbonate epicontinental platforms

Ammonites, taphonomic cycles and stratigraphic cycles in carbonate epicontinental platforms

Abstract

[ES] Algunas variaciones de los caracteres tafonómicos y la distribución de las asoctactones registradas de ammonites en las plataformas epicontinentales carbonáticas permiten distinguir secuencias tafonómicas elementales, tafosecuencias, taforregi stros, tafociclos, megatafosecuencías y supertafociclos que son el resultado de cambios relativos del nivel del mar. La identificación de estos ciclos tafonómicos es de máxima importancia para interpretar los ciclos estratigráficos en las plataformas epicontinentales mesozoicas, en especial cuando no hay evidencias de las varíaciones de la línea de costa pero los sedimentos fosilíferos de plataforma externa están ampliamente desarrollados. Durante el Jurásico Medio se desarrollaron cinco ciclos ambientales de profundización/somerización en las plataformas Castellana, Aragonesa y de Tortosa: cuatro ciclos de profundización media (durante el Aaleniense inferior, el Aaleniense medio-Bajociense inferior, el Bathoniensc y el Calloviense) y un ciclo de profundización avanzada (durante el Bajocíense superior). Los taforregistros de ammonites de la Biozona Opalinum representan los dítimos términos de una megatafosecuencia de somerización iniciada durante el Toarciense superior. La máxima profundización y el máximo ascenso relativo del nivel del mar se alcanzaron durante el Hiocrón Niortense (Bajociense superior). Los sedimentos de la Subcronozona Polygyralis corresponden a un pico transgresivo de segundo orden. Los episodios de máxima somerización durante el Jurásico Medio, que representan los máximos descensos relativos del nivel del mar, corresponden al Aaleniense medio (Biocrón Murchisonae) y al Calloviense superior (Biocrón Lamberti). Los biocronos Murchisonae y Lamberti forman dos picos regresivos de segundo orden. Las asocíacíones registradas de animonites comprendidas entre estos dos biocronos representan un supertafociclo de segundo orden en la Cuenca Ibérica. Los sedimentos del Jurásico Medio comprendidos entre estas dos discontinuidades estratigráficas, desde el Aaleniense medio hasta el Calloviense superior, también representan un superciclo estratigráfico de segundo orden en la Cuenca Ibérica.

[EN] Sorne variations of the taphonomic features and the distribution of the successive recorded associations of ammonites in the carbonate epicontinental platforms enable to distinguish elementary taphonomic sequences, taphosequences, taphorecords, taphocycles, megataphosequences and supertaphocycles resulting from relative sea-level changes. The identification of such taphonomic cycles is of utmost importance in interpreting the stratigraphic cycles of Mesozoic epicontinental platforms, when no cvidence of coastal onlap is preserved but fossiliferous sediments of outer platform are widely developed. Five environmental cycles of deepening/shallowing were developed in the Castiliane, Aragonese and Tortosa platforms during the Middle Jurassic: four cycles of median deepening (early Aalenian, middle Aalenian early Bajocian, Bathonian and Callovian) and one cycle of advaneed deepening (late Bajocian). Ammonite taphorecords of the Opalinum Biozone represent the last terms of a shallowing upwards megataphosequence which began in the late Toarcian. The maximum deepening and the maxímum relative sea-level rise were reached during the Niortense Biochron (late Bajocian). Sediments of the Polygyralis Subchronozone belongs to a second-order peak transgression. Foremost shallowing episodes during the Middle Jurassic, representing peak regression of second order, correspond to middle Aalenian (Murchisonae Biochron) and late Callovian (Lamberti Biochron). Murchisonae and Lamberti biochrons conform two second-order peak regressions. Recorded associations of ammonites comprised between these two biochrons represent a supertaphocycle of second order in the Iberian Basin. Sediments of the Middle Jurassic comprised between these two stratigraphic discontinuities, from the middle Aalenian until the upper Callovian, also represent a stratigraphic supercycíe of second order in the Iberian Basin.

The author wishes to express his acknowledgement to Drs. G. Meléndez (Area of Stratigraphy and Paleontology, Faculty of Sciences, Univ. Zaragoza), G. Pavia aud L. Martire (Dip. Scienze della Terra, Univ. Tormo) for their critical reading of dic manuscript and the suggestions received. This work is a contribution to thc project PB96-0838 (DGICYT-CSJC).
