    Description / Table of Contents: Straits & seaways are the key features that connect oceans, seas & lakes. They regulate water, sediment & biota exchanges, & influence local & global climate. A good understanding of the evolution of straits & seaways is therefore fundamental to accurately reconstruct the palaeogeography, tectonics, palaeoecology & stratigraphy of interconnected basins, the climate dynamics of Earth's past as well as to exploit conventional & renewable energy resources. This volume provides a collection of articles dealing with both ancient & modern case studies, bringing together different but complementary disciplines, such as marine geology, process sedimentology & stratigraphy. With the contents encompassing the evolution, geomorphology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, oceanography & palaeogeography of straits & seaways, & their influence on climate, the book will be of interest to Earth scientists

    Recognizing tide- and wave-dominated compound deltaic clinothems in the rock record (2020)
    Geological Society of America
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-07-21
    Description: Many modern deltas exhibit a compound geometry that consists of a shoreline clinoform and a larger subaqueous clinoform connected through a subaqueous platform. Despite the ubiquity of compound clinoforms in modern deltas, very few examples have been documented from the ancient sedimentary record. We present recognition criteria for shelf compound-clinoform systems in both tide- and wave-dominated deltas by integration of ancient and modern examples from multiple types of data. The compound clinothem can be identified by using a combination of: (1) the three-dimensional (3-D) configuration identified in bathymetric or seismic data, (2) bipartite stacked regressive units, consisting of a lower muddy coarsening-to-fining-upward (CUFU) or coarsening-upward (CU) unit (30–100 m thick) and an overlying sandier CU unit (5–30 m thick) (together they represent the subaqueous and shoreline clinoform pair), and (3) distinct facies described herein, though both types of delta have highly bioturbated mudstone and siltstone bottomsets. Tide-dominated deltas have muddy foresets with tidal scours containing tidal rhythmites or inclined heterolithic strata in the subaqueous clinothem overlain by river and tidal deposits of the shoreline clinothem. Wave-dominated deltas show mainly wave-enhanced sediment-gravity-flow (WSGF) beds and some thin hummocky/swaley cross-stratified (HCS/SCS) sandstones toward the top in the subaqueous muddy foreset, and upward-thickening HCS/SCS and trough/planar cross-bedded sandstones interbedded with siltstones in the shoreline clinothem. The subaqueous platform, which links the clinoform couplet, shows evidence of frequent tidal or wave reworking and redeposition. The platform in tide-dominated deltas is characterized by tide-generated heterolithic strata (e.g., bidirectional current-rippled and cross-stratified sandstones, spring and neap tidal bundles, tidal rhythmites) with occasional storm-wave–influenced strata. In contrast, the wave-dominated platform comprises small-scale swales with scours and mud clasts and some WSGF deposits. The proposed criteria can aid in the recognition of compound deltaic clinothems in other basins, particularly those with limited amounts and/or types of data.

    Upper-Slope To Shelf-Edge Delta Architecture, Miocene Cruse Formation, Orinoco Shelf Margin, Trinidad (2016)
    Society for Sedimentary Geology
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-02-01
    Description: Trinidad is an uplifted segment of the Neogene Orinoco shelf, created largely by the paleo–Orinoco River and delta. The Atlantic-facing shelf-margin sediment prism has an internal clinoform architecture, with both sandy marine and nonmarine topsets and muddy deepwater slope deposits that contain turbidite channels and collapsed shelf-edge blocks. The shelf prism is 〉 10 km thick and 〉 200 km wide at present, built from late Miocene to present. The shelf margin had an irregularly rising trajectory towards the Atlantic, with very thick topset aggradation and rapid progradation of the fronting deepwater slope. The 18–33 km/My progradation rate for the shelf margin with exceptionally high shelf-subsidence rates (up to 1000 m/My) documents a high sediment supply, despite very high shelf subsidence, and strongly suggests prominent sand bypass from shelf into deepwater areas for much of the Neogene interval. The early proximal, onshore south Trinidad part of this sediment prism, the late Miocene and early Pliocene Cruse Formation, irregularly outcrops for tens of kilometers along southern Trinidad in a disrupted but near-downdip (shelf to basin) direction from west to east. This distribution allows the late Miocene shelf-break position in the paleo–Columbus Channel to be identified in the outcrops, separating a western shelf and shelf-edge delta segment from an eastern highly deformed segment with very large (house size) blocks of shallow-water facies, collapsed from the shelf edge, that are disoriented and embedded in deformed slope mudstones. These eastward distorted outcrops are interpreted as within the headward reaches of a Columbus Canyon system, otherwise known from seismic interpretation offshore in the Columbus Channel. In this eastward outcrop area below the shelf edge, the facies are mainly large, shelf-edge collapse mass-transport blocks, as well as in situ turbidite-filled slope channels, thin-bedded turbidites, debrites, and abundant slope mudstones. Most of the sandstone blocks and associated chaotic beds contain highly deformed parallel-laminated and hummocky cross strata, betraying their former shelf location. Landward of the identified shelf-edge location, there are stacked parasequences (each 3–15 m thick) of undeformed, upward-coarsening shelf-edge delta deposits, in places sharply truncating (erosional truncation) the slope mudstones and mass-transport deposits. The significant downcutting of most of the topset Orinoco channels, their position so close to the shelf edge, as well as the generally erosional contact between base of topsets and underlying slope mudstones suggests that the topset deltas were forced regressive, probably driven across the shelf by falling relative sea level, despite high subsidence rates at this time. The outcropping facies architectures, both vertically and laterally (from shelf to deepwater slope) generate a hypothesis that the early paleo–Orinoco shelf margin grew by an alternation of upward- and basinward- growing clinoforms. Particularly marked is the earliest Pliocene period of marked forced regression of the Orinoco Delta, possibly when short periods of icehouse eustatic sea-level fall outpaced subsidence rate. This lesson from the outcrop area is used to further understand the flat–rise–flat–rise, shelf-edge trajectory pattern that persisted throughout the Neogene margin development, as seen on seismic lines across the Columbus Basin.

    Significance of the Bucegi Conglomerate olistoliths in the Albian source-to-sink system from the Carpathian Bend basin in Romania (2018)
    Society of Exploration Geophysicists
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-02-01
    Description: The presence of exotic blocks (or olistoliths) in sedimentary deposits is usually regarded as an indication of a deepwater slope environment. We evaluate olistoliths accumulated in shallow water at the upper edge of a slope setting using outcrop data. The study area is in the Bucegi Mountains in the southeast “bend” of the Carpathian Mountains in Romania. The studied deposits belong to the Bucegi Formation, a dominantly conglomerate succession of Albian age. The Lower Bucegi member has been accumulated as a large conglomerate submarine fan. The Upper Member forms a shelf-to-trench sedimentary system with deposits dominated by sandstones and conglomerates. The olistoliths are embedded in debris flow conglomerates, most of them from the Bucegi Upper Member, and a lower number from the Bucegi Lower Member. The olistoliths are all located in a small ([Formula: see text]) zone, close to the Dambovicioara source area. The olistoliths have been transported into the basin for up to 10 km on relative gentle gradients. The blocks’ deposition is restricted to the shallow-water environment on a narrow low-gradient shelf and in some instances on the upper continental slope. Within the Albian source-to-sink system, the olistoliths occurrence marks the entry zone of the land-derived detrital material into the basin and points to the main sediment transport fairways into deeper parts of the basin.

    Coupling Between Shelf-Edge Architecture and Submarine-Fan Growth Style In A Supply-Dominated Margin (2016)
    Society for Sedimentary Geology
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-01
    Description: The linkage between relative sea-level change, shelf-edge architecture, and evolution of Maastrichtian basin-floor fans in the Washakie Basin, Wyoming, has been investigated at the scale of lobes, lobe complexes, and submarine fans using 630 wireline logs. The basin-floor fan deposits of two adjacent clinothems form lobate shapes on the toe of slope and basin floor. The earlier lobe complexes of the two clinothems are only weakly developed (from no deposition to up to 3.9 km3 respectively in Clinothems 9 and 10), indicating small volumes of sandy sediment delivered to deep water. The lobe complexes (up to 6.4 km3 of each lobe complex) of Clinothem 9 aggraded with fixed slope channels and without strong basinward or lateral migration (40–170 m aggradation, 4–8 km progradation with 4 km lateral shift) and did so in concert with a highly aggradational shelf edge (50 m/100 ky with 5.5 km progradation) during a period of interpreted relative sea-level rise. In contrast, the deep-water lobe complexes (up to 11.5 km3 of each lobe complex) of Clinothem 10 prograded continuously for 15–18 km on the basin floor (with 60–210 m aggradation) coeval with a flattish shelf-edge progradation (25 km/100 ky with 25 m aggradation) and an interpreted minimal sea-level rise or stillstand. The depocenters of lobe complexes in Clinothem 10 switched laterally (7–14 km) by compensational stacking and slope-channel avulsions. During the late development of both clinothems, the deep-water lobe complexes became smaller (up to 1.9 and 6.1 km3 respectively in Clinothems 9 and 10) or retreated concurrently with shelf flooding. Washakie Basin deep-water fans thus evolved through stages of initiation, aggradation or progradation, and retreat of lobe complexes. The submarine-fan growth stages of these deep-water depocenters were surprisingly well linked to coeval changes in shelf-edge trajectory between successive, ca. 100 ky maximum flooding events on the shelf. We suggest that the close linkage of lobe-complex stacking pattern with shelf-edge behavior was because the Washakie Basin formed under greenhouse conditions with a continuously high, Laramide sediment discharge to the deep-water fans while the feeder deltas were at the shelf edge, despite significant sediment reworking of shelf-edge deltas by waves and tides.
