  • 9. Small-Scale Shallow-Water Carbonate Sequences of Resolution Guyot (Sites 866, 867, and 868)1
    Winterer, E.L., Sager, W.W., Firth, J.V., and Sinton, J.M. (Eds.), 1995 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 143 9. SMALL-SCALE SHALLOW-WATER CARBONATE SEQUENCES OF RESOLUTION GUYOT (SITES 866, 867, AND 868)1 Andre Strasser,2 Hubert Arnaud,3 François Baudin,4 and Ursula Röhl5 ABSTRACT The Hauteri vian to upper Albian carbonate sediments drilled on Resolution Guyot are all of shallow-water origin. The volcanic basement is covered by dolomitized oolitic and oncolitic grainstones of an inner-ramp setting. At 1400 m below seafloor (mbsf), they pass into peritidal facies punctuated by small coral and mdist bioherms and by beach sediments. Oolites dominate between 790 and 680 mbsf. The upper part of the guyot (from 680 mbsf up to the phosphate-iron-manganese crust capping the Cretaceous platform) is composed of lagoonal carbonates exhibiting some calcrete horizons. The material collected from Holes 867B and 868A implies that the platform was rimmed by barrier islands and storm beaches, and that reefs (rudists and sponges) were of minor importance. This is in contrast to modern atolls, where reefs are the major rim builders. In the late Albian, the platform was subaerially exposed and karstified, then drowned. Although average recovery was low (15.4% for Hole 866A, 29.2% for 867B, 46.3% for 868A), the cored material clearly shows that the sedimentary record is composed of small, meter-scale sequences. They are especially well developed in platform- interior, lagoonal-peritidal settings, where facies evolution indicates cyclic deepening and shallowing of the depositional environ- ment.

  • Appendix 2. the Mystery of Guyot Formation and Sinking
    Appendix 2 The Mystery of Guyot Formation and Sinking Origin of Guyots Unknown In 1946, geologist Harry Hess was the first geologist to describe guyots (flat-topped seamount).1 Since then, the number of guyots has become numerous. Resolution Guyot in the Mid-Pacific Mountains that was studied in the 1990s by the Deep Sea Drilling Project2 is a typical guyot. Figure A2.1 shows the silhouette. Ever since Hess’s time, the cause of the flat top has eluded explanation.3 Winterer and Met- Figure A2.1. Silhouette of Resolution Guyot zler maintain: “Since Hess first recognized them in the Mid-Pacific Mountains (drawn by Mrs. Melanie Richard). in 1946, the origin of flat-topped seamounts, or guyots, has remained one of the most persistent problems in marine geology.”4 Since guyots are believed to have been truncated near sea level, there are two suggested subsid- ence mechanisms used to explain why they are now found well below sea level. But some guyots must have become flat well below sea level. Not All Guyots Eroded At Sea Level Many scientists have simply assumed that the flat top of a guyot was eroded at or near sea level.5,6 ‘This has been challenged by a few marine geologists.’7,8 For instance, a number of guyots near the East Pacific Rise have been attributed to the infilling of calderas by small lava flows well below sea level.9,10,11,12 “But, these guyots are small 1 Hess, H.H., 1946.

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • Ancient Lacustrine Hyperpycnites: a Depositional Model from a Case Study in the Rayoso Formation (Cretaceous) of West-Central Argentina
    Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2006, v. 76, 41–59 Reseach Article DOI: 10.2110/jsr.2006.12 ANCIENT LACUSTRINE HYPERPYCNITES: A DEPOSITIONAL MODEL FROM A CASE STUDY IN THE RAYOSO FORMATION (CRETACEOUS) OF WEST-CENTRAL ARGENTINA CARLOS ZAVALA,1,2 JUAN JOSE´ PONCE,2 MARIANO ARCURI,2 DANIEL DRITTANTI,1 HUGO FREIJE,2 2 AND MARCOS ASENSIO 1Departamento de Geologı´a, Universidad Nacional del Sur, San Juan 670, 8000 Bahı´a Blanca, Argentina 2Instituto Argentino de Oceanografı´a, Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientı´ficas y Te´cnicas, Camino de La Carrindanga 7.5 km, 8000 Bahı´a Blanca, Argentina e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Hyperpycnal flows originate when sediment-laden fluvial discharges enter standing, lower-density water. Because of their excess density, the flows plunge near the river mouth and continue to travel basinward as a quasi-steady and fully turbulent underflow. The related deposits are hyperpycnites, and constitute a particular type of turbidite with poorly known facies and facies tracts. Although hyperpycnal flows seem to be quite common in present times, their occurrence in fossil strata is poorly documented. This paper addresses the characteristics and depositional processes of shallow lacustrine sandy hyperpycnites, on the basis of the field analysis of well-exposed Lower Cretaceous strata (Rayoso Formation) in the Neuque´n Basin of west-central Argentina. The Rayoso Formation is composed of clastic (and minor evaporitic) red beds up to 1200 m thick, deposited in a shallow perennial lake of variable salinity affected by long-lived hyperpycnal flows. Main clastic facies are composed of fine-grained sandstones with climbing ripples and plane beds.

Gral. J.A. Roca 1242, 8332 General Roca, Argentina, [email protected] Keywords: Early Cretaceous, Rayoso Formation, Argentina, Rebbachisauridae The rebbachisaurids are a group of medium‐sized sauropods with a fundamentally Gondwanan distribution (South America, Africa) from the middle‐upper part of the Early Cretaceous to the lower part of the Late Cretaceous. They were the last diplodocoids in becoming extinct. They are also recorded in Europe, with Demandasaurus, having been described in Salas de los Infantes, Spain (Torcida Fernández‐Baldor et al., 2011). The rebbachisaurids have played a particularly significant role in the recognition of the events of dispersal and vicariance that took place within Gondwana and between Gondwana and Laurasia in the Early Cretaceous, the time of the rupture and definitive separation of Africa and South America.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971.
