Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Upper Campanian sequence exposed on a tidal flat around Hornby Island nearby Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, was geologically surveyed. Oxygen and carbon isotopes from the samples obtained from there were analyzed. A carbonate concretion with 2 m in the major axis was found and identified as a cold methane seep carbonate based on internal structure and carbon isotope signatures. As it was formed just on the sea bottom, the oxygen isotope values were used for paleothermometry of bottom water at depsitional depth (~200 m). Surprizing low paleotemperature as low as 8 ℃ indicates domination of cool water mass that is complarable with deep water over upper bathyal depth of middle latitude North Eastern Pacific. This paleothermometry is important for paleoceanographic reconstruction of North Eastern Pacific during late Campanian.
