    On the age of the Early/Middle Eocene boundary and other related events: cyclostratigraphic refinements from the Pyrenean Otsakar section and the Lutetian GSSP (2011)
    Cambridge University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-05-01
    Description: An integrated bio-, magneto- and cyclostratigraphic study of the Ypresian/Lutetian (Early/Middle Eocene) transition along the Otsakar section resulted in the identification of the C22n/C21r chron boundary and of the calcareous nannofossil CP12a/b zonal boundary; the latter is the main correlation criterion of the Lutetian Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) recently defined at Gorrondatxe (Basque Country). By counting precession-related mudstone-marl couplets of 21 ka, the time lapse between both events was calculated to be 819 ka. This suggests that the age of the CP12a/b boundary, and hence that of the Early/Middle Eocene boundary, is 47.76 Ma, 250 ka younger than previously thought. This age agrees with, and is supported by, estimates from Gorrondatxe based on the time lapse between the Lutetian GSSP and the C21r/C21n boundary. The duration of Chron C21r is estimated at 1.326 Ma. Given that the base of the Eocene is dated at 55.8 Ma, the duration of the Early Eocene is 8 Ma, 0.8 Ma longer than in current time scales. The Otsakar results further show that the bases of planktonic foraminiferal zones E8 and P10 are younger than the CP12a/b boundary. The first occurrence of Turborotalia frontosa, being approximately 550 ka older that the CP12a/b boundary, is the planktonic foraminiferal event that lies closest to the Early/Middle Eocene boundary. The larger foraminiferal SBZ12/13 boundary is located close to the CP12a/b boundary and correlates with Chron C21r, not with the C22n/C21r boundary.

    New fossils of Sirenia from the Middle Eocene of Navarre (Western Pyrenees): the oldest West European sea cow record (2010)
    Cambridge University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-02-18
    Description: Postcranial remains of Sirenia from the early Middle Eocene (late Lutetian) Urbasa-Andia Formation of Navarre (Western Pyrenees) are described. The material consists of two partial atlas vertebrae, one humerus and several dorsal ribs (from Arrasate, Urbasa plateau), and partial dorsal ribs (from Lezaun, Andia plateau). The morphology of the fossils is consistent with referral to Dugongidae, the only sirenian clade known so far in the Middle Eocene of Europe. Moreover, the histological study of the ribs shows that the pachyosteosclerosis of extant Sirenia was definitively present by the early Middle Eocene. The oldest sirenian remains reported to date in the Pyrenean Realm were assigned to the Biarritzian, a regional stage that is currently ascribed either to the middle or to the lower–middle Bartonian. Therefore, the sirenian remains of Lezaun, reliably dated as late Lutetian (SBZ16 zone) in age, are definitively the earliest sirenian fossils known in Western Europe and are among the oldest sea cow records of Europe.

    Characterization and astronomically calibrated age of the first occurrence of Turborotalia frontosa in the Gorrondatxe section, a prospective Lutetian GSSP: implications for the Eocene time scale (2008)
    The Lethaia Foundation
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-11-16
    Description: The Gorrondatxe section, a prospective Lutetian Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP), has recently been used as the master reference section to reassess the correlation between Eocene magnetostratigraphic and calcareous planktonic biostratigraphic scales. However, the exact calibration of some events remained ill defined, as they were thought to be missing in Gorrondatxe due to a fault. The most important missing events were the first occurrence of the planktonic foraminifera Turborotalia frontosa and the C22n/C21r chron boundary. Either might be a reliable correlation criterion for the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary, as both approach the age of the original Lutetian Stratotype. New studies allowed the identification of the former event 9 m above the Gorrondatxe fault, within magnetic polarity Chron C21r and calcareous nannofossil Zone CP12a. Distinctive test features that characterize the most primitive morphotype of T. frontosa are described. Despite the high turbidite content, recurrent pelagic limestone–marl couplets and bundles occur, whose formation was driven by precession and eccentricity astronomical cycles. The first occurrence of T. frontosa was found 27 couplets and 5.5 bundles (60 m) below the first occurrence of the calcareous nannofossil Blackites inflatus, which is dated at 48 Ma. Hence, the age of the first occurrence of T. frontosa is estimated at 48.55 Ma, confirming that it is the most suitable planktonic foraminiferal correlation criterion for the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary. These results show that the stratigraphic interval missing due to the Gorrondatxe fault cannot be greater than a few metres and reinforce the value of this section as a prospective Lutetian GSSP.

    FIELD TRIP TO THE YPRESIAN/LUTETIAN BOUNDARY AT THE GORRONDATXE BEACH SECTION (BASQUE COUNTRY, W PYRENEES) (2007)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: One of the Paleogene Stage boundaries still needing official definition is the Ypresian/Lutetain (Early- Middle Eocene) boundary. With the aim of contributing to attain this definition, a high-resolution multidisciplinary study, including physical stratigraphy (lithostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy and magnetostratigraphy) and biostratigraphy (calcareous nannofossil, planktic foraminifer and larger foraminifer), has been carried out over the 700 m thick uppermost Ypresian – lower Lutetian Gorrondatxe section. The results show that the different events traditionally used to place the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary, hitherto thought to be simultaneous (i.e., the planktic foraminifer P9 (=E7) / P10 (=E8) Zone boundary; the calcareous nannofossil CP12a / CP12b Subzone boundary; the larger foraminifer SBZ12 / SBZ13 Zone boundary; and the boundary between magnetic polarity chrons C22n and C21r), actually occur at very different levels. Therefore, before considering any section to place the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary stratotype, the criterion to precisely define this boundary should be selected. To this end, the succession of events pinpointed in the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary interval of the Gorrondatxe beach section might prove a useful database. The Gorrondatxe section fulfils most of the requirements demanded of a prospective stratotype section. In addition, the great sedimentary thickness, which implies a very high deep-marine sedimentation rate, provides the Gorrondatxe section an additional value, as it offers the opportunity to chronologically order successive biomagnetostratigraphic events more precisely than elsewhere. Therefore, we consider that, once the criterion to define the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary is selected, the Gorrondatxe beach section should be deemed a firm candidate to place the Global Stratotype Section and Point of the base of the Lutetian Stage.

    Biomagnetostratigraphic analysis of the Gorrondatxe section (Basque Country, Western Pyrenees): Its significance for the definition of the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary stratotype (2008)
    E. Schweizerbartsche Verlagsbuchhandlung, D-70176 Stuttgart
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The Gorrondatxe beach section is part of a 2300 m thick lower Ypresian-upper Lutetian deep-water marine succession and contains the most extensive Ypresian/Lutetian boundary interval so far reported. The entire 700 m thick uppermost Ypresian, lower Lutetian succession shows a good magnetic signal and is rich in well-preserved calcareous planktonic fossils. Moreover, some of the interbedded turbidites supplied abundant nummulitids, allowing the correlation and calibration of the zonal schemes of larger foraminifers and calcareous plankton. At the Gorrondatxe section, all the events traditionally used to identify the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary occur at different levels, demonstrating that before selecting a section to place the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary stratotype the specific criterion to identify this boundary should be defined. The high-resolution calcareous plankton and larger foraminifer biostratigraphic studies, coupled with the magnetostratigraphic analysis performed in the Gorrondatxe section, show the complete record of events that characterizes the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary interval, highlighting the position of several marker events that are suitable to be selected as the criterion to define the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary. The Gorrondatxe section fulfils most of the requirements demanded of a Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) by the International Commission on Stratigraphy, and consequently it is proposed here as a candidate for the GSSP of the base of the Lutetian.

    Filling the North European Early/Middle Eocene (Ypresian/Lutetian) boundary gap: Insights from the Pyrenean continental to deep-marine record (2009)
    Elsevier
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The Early/Middle Eocene (Ypresian/Lutetian) transition is represented by a hiatus in many North European sections, including those in which the classic stratotypes were originally defined. However, the Global Stratotype Section and Point of the Lutetian Stage, which is still pending definition, should be placed at a globally correlatable event included within that unrepresented interval. The Pyrenean Eocene outcrops display sedimentary successions that offer the rare opportunity to analyse the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary interval in almost continuous sections and in very different settings. Seven reference stratigraphic sections were selected on the basis of their quality and correlated by means of biomagnetostratigraphic data. This correlation framework casts light on the sequence of chronostratigraphic events that characterize the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary interval, which may prove useful in defining the main correlation criterion of the base of the Lutetian. All of the Pyrenean sections show a similar sedimentary evolution, despite being up to 350 km apart from each other, containing deposits of different origins (intrabasinal carbonate sediments, siliciclastic sediments sourced from the Iberian plate, and terrigenous sediments sourced from the uplifting Pyrenees) and despite having been accumulated in different sedimentary environments (from continental to deep marine) and in different geodynamic settings (piggy-back basin, foreland basin and cratonic margin). This common evolution can be readily interpreted in terms of a sea-level driven depositional sequence whose lowstand and transgressive systems tracts are included within the Ypresian/Lutetian boundary interval. The Pyrenean Ypresian/Lutetian depositional sequence can reasonably be correlated with depositional sequences from classic North European areas, shedding light on the palaeoenvironmental history which in those areas has not been recorded. Furthermore, these depositional sequences may possibly correlate with others from the Antarctic Ocean and from New Jersey, as well as with oceanic temperature variations, suggesting that they might be the result of climatically-driven glacioeustatic sea-level changes. Should this hypothesis prove correct, it would confirm previous suggestions that the onset of Antarctic glaciations needs to be backshifted to the late Ypresian at least.
