(Linda Hinnov):The Triassic Lofer Cyclothems of the Dachstein Limestone, Northern and Southern Calcareous Alps, western Europe
Abstract: The Lofer cyclothems characterize the Late Norian-Rhaetian shallow marine Dachstein Limestone of the Northern Calcareous Alps of northern Austria (Fischer, 1964) and Southern Calcareous Alps of northeastern Italy (Cozzi et al., 2005). The meter-scale Lofer cyclothems are composed of three shallowing-upward subfacies–megalodont limestone, loferites and paleosols–and vertically stacked in a pattern that is suggestive of forcing by astronomically forced sea-level oscillations. Recent analysis of Italian exposures (Hinnov and Cozzi, 2021) has revealed that orbital eccentricity, obliquity and precession index frequencies characterize the Lofer cyclothemic sequence, including strong 405-kyr (g2-g5) metronomic cycling that, with future establishment of a global chronostratigraphic anchor point from carbon isotopes or magnetic reversal stratigraphy, will enable precise correlation to remote locations, e.g., the Newark Basin, St. Audrie’s Bay, Colorado Plateau and Junggar Basin.
Abstract:The Late Devonian envelops one of Earth’s big five mass extinction events at the Frasnian–Famennian boundary (374Ma). Environmental change across the extinction severely affected Devonian reef-builders, besides many other forms of marine life. Yet, cause- and-effect chains leading to the extinction remain poorly constrained as Late Devonian stratigraphy is poorly resolved, compared to younger cataclysmic intervals. In this presentation, I'll present a global orbitally calibrated chronology across this momentous interval, applying cyclostratigraphic techniques. The astronomical timescale stipulates that 600 kyr separate the lower and upper Kellwasser positive δ13C excursions. The latter excursion is paced by obliquity and is therein similar to Mesozoic intervals of environmental upheaval, like the Cretaceous Ocean-Anoxic-Event-2 (OAE-2). This obliquity signature implies coincidence with a minimum of the 2.4 Myr eccentricity cycle, during which obliquity prevails over precession, and highlights the decisive role of astronomically forced “Milankovitch” climate change in timing and pacing the Late Devonian mass extinction.
