Research Abstract |
In order to grasp information and preservation status in deep hypersaline anoxic basins such as the Meedee Lake in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, a sediment core (3 m length) was recovered using special NSS sampling system. Drastic color changes in this sediment indicate that the depositional environment has been changed drastically such as oxic and anoxic conditions during the last 200 kyrs. Here we have validated the evidence of Mo/W ratio as proxy for reconstruction of paleoredox conditions. Specially, redox conditions appear to influence microfauna composition, highlighting the role of the redox state as a regulator of organic matter preservation and microfauna accumulations in this ancient hypersaline anoxic lake
