Australo-Antarctic Gulf
The Australo-Antarctic Gulf and the Auversian facies shift Available to Purchase
Three time lines through the neritic stratigraphic record distributed around the northern margin of the Australo-Antarctic Gulf (AAG) mark three fundamental shifts in global environments collectively comprising the Auversian facies shift. The three lines are: (1) the beginning: the Khirthar transgression and the onset of neritic carbonate accumulation in the Bartonian Age (preceding onset of the Middle Eocene climatic optimum [MECO]); (2) the midlife change (Bartonian-Priabonian transition): the shift from carbonate-rich to carbonate-poor, higher-nutrient environments under estuarine circulation, causing widespread dysaerobia culminating in opaline silicas; and (3) the Eocene-Oligocene = Priabonian-Rupelian boundary and glaciation during oxygen isotope event Oi-1, with return of improved ventilation in neritic environments and resumption of carbonate accumulation. Meanwhile, it was warm and very wet at ~60°S. In developing a scenario for the death of the AAG, the birth of the Southern Ocean, and the transition from Paleogene greenhouse Earth to Neogene icehouse Earth, the neritic record of the northern margin is more in accord with the “Dinocyst biogeographic hypothesis” than with the “Tasman gateway hypothesis.”

The opening and closure of oceanic seaways during the Cenozoic: pacemaker of global climate change? Available to Purchase
Abstract The opening and constriction of oceanic gateways played an essential role in shaping the global climate throughout Earth's history. In this review, we provide an overview of the best-documented feedbacks between gateway dynamics and climate change throughout the Cenozoic. The discussed tectonically induced events comprise: (i) the opening of the Tasmanian Gateway and the glaciation of Antarctica during the Eocene–Oligocene; (ii) the water-mass exchange between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean via the Strait of Gibraltar that has occurred since the Miocene; and (iii) the closure of the American Seaway and (iv) the constriction of the Indonesian Throughflow, both argued to have been instrumental in the intensification of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation during the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene. Lastly, we look at (v) the climatic impact of the flooding and submergence of the Bering Strait during the Plio-Pleistocene and its influence on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. While different in their underlying mechanisms, geographical scale and temporal evolution, these case studies demonstrate that even seemingly small-scale changes in the configuration of ocean seaways fundamentally altered the global climate system via their impact on oceanic currents, global heat transfer and carbon storage.

Rodinia palaeogeography: Laurentia as the geological ‘Key’ Available to Purchase
Abstract Laurentia, core of the North American continent, is surrounded by Neoproterozoic to Cambrian rifted margins. This led to early suggestions that it was located within a Neoproterozoic supercontinent, Rodinia. Recent models of Precambrian palaeogeographical development also point to a ‘Laurentia-centric’ Rodinian supercontinent. Before plate tectonics, the geometry of continental margins, comparison of cratonic interiors and sedimentary covers, and orogenic piercing points were employed to postulate the geography of Phanerozoic Pangaea. Marine studies have subsequently demonstrated that the results were remarkably accurate. Absent in situ Precambrian oceanic crust, the same lines of evidence are employed here to reconstruct Rodinia, together with others unavailable at that time. A strong case can be made for the former juxtaposition of the Pacific margins of Laurentia and East Antarctica–Australia approximately as proposed in the 1990s, even though the precise match remains elusive. The Atlantic margin is likely to have rifted from Baltica, Amazonia and other South American cratons along the Grenvillian orogenic suture in the early Paleozoic, although the suture itself makes accurate reconstruction difficult. A piercing point and ‘tectonic tracer’ can be used to position the Kalahari craton and Coats Land crustal block of Antarctica off the present southern margin of Laurentia and contemporaneous large igneous provinces point to Siberia being located off the Arctic margin. Hence Laurentia does appear to be the ‘Key’ to Rodinian palaeogeography even though the exact geometric fit to its surrounding cratons remains to be refined.
Carbonate-Biosiliceous Sedimentation in Early Oligocene Estuaries During a Time of Global Change, Port Willunga Formation, St. Vincent Basin, Southern Australia Available to Purchase
Abstract The Port Willunga Formation is a cool–water, marine, quartzose, clay–rich, biosiliceous, and calcareous sedimentary succession of Early Oligocene age that accumulated in a series of proximal estuarine paleoenvironments along the eastern side of the St. Vincent Basin, South Australia. Coeval strata in two of the paleo–embayments are interpreted to record deposition during one ~ 3.5 My–long eustatic sea–level fluctuation. Transgressive facies above a ravinement surface comprise quartzose sands (subaqueous marine tidal dunes) that grade upward into fossiliferous floatstones and mudstones (shoreface to shallow basin–floor environments) that accumulated in a protected embayment. Highstand sediments are distinctly cyclic at the meter scale and consist of epifaunal bryozoan–pecten–echinoid clay–rich floatstones that become less fossiliferous but more spiculitic and chert–rich upward in each cycle. Whereas cyclic sediments in one embayment (Willunga) are interpreted to have accumulated on a current–swept, illuminated seafloor, those in the other (Noarlunga) are thought to have been deposited in a lower–energy, sub–photic setting. Cyclicity is interpreted to record the increasing influence of fluvial fresh water in the system during each sea–level fluctuation. Comparison with underlying strata reveals a striking similarity in depositional style and stratigraphic packaging between Late Eocene and Early Oligocene deposits; both are interpreted as paleoestuarine. Differences between the dark, organic–rich, biosiliceous, and low–diversity Eocene highstand deposits and the light, more calcareous, and more diverse Oligocene highstand deposits are interpreted to be due to local depositional controls. An important implication of local controls is that several postulated unconformities in the succession are not due to global eustatic changes but are ravinement surfaces related to estuarine sedimentation dynamics. Such controls, specifically terrestrial climate, hydrodynamic energy, and trophic resource levels were more important in determining sediment composition than eustasy and Southern Ocean cooling. Similar biosiliceous–carbonate sedimentary facies are a recurring feature of cool–water deposition throughout the Phanerozoic.
