Abstract:
In the Nadezhda Basin (northwestern Pacific), the contact between oceanic crust basalt and its sedimentary cover was recovered at Site 1149 during Leg 185. The bottom sedimentary section (Unit IV) is characterized by interbedded radiolarian chert and radiolarian nannofossil chalk/marl. This peculiar lithology for the western Pacific has allowed an approach of integrated stratigraphy between radiolarians and carbon isotope data. The upper Valanginian delta (super 13) C positive excursion, correlatable to magnetic Chron M11, was individuated. Biochemostratigraphy constrains the calibration of the positive magnetic lineation at Site 1149 as Chron M12r. Moreover, these data confirm the upper Valanginian delta 13C positive excursion as a global event, probably linked to high primary productivity.
