Cyclostratigraphy

  • Chapter
Cretaceous Resources, Events and Rhythms

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 304))

Abstract

The sedimentary record of orbitally-forced variations in climate has the potential to provide high-resolution dating to levels of a few hundred thousand years of less. Easily-measured, bed-to-bed variations in various components give the basic data for defining these rhythms. The Cretaceous is a particularly appropriate period for testing both the validity and the application of cyclostratigraphy.

Recommended specific short range objectives are: detailed comparative studies of time slices, in order to recognize the effect of orbital influences in different sedimentary environments, and to map the paleogeographic distributions of obliquity-dominated patterns versus precession-eccentricity dominated ones. This approach should illuminate Cretaceous climates and oceanography, and the pathways along which sedimentary systems were forced.
