A1 - Plessen, Birgit T1 - Isotopic, paleontologic, and ichnologic evidence for late Miocene pulses of marine incursions in the central Andes N2 - Recognition of an inferred Miocene marine incursion affecting areas from Colombia through Peru and Bolivia and into Argentina is essential to delineate the South American Seaway. In Bolivia, corresponding strata of inferred marine origin have been assigned to the late Miocene Yecua Formation. We carried out high-resolution delta C-13 and delta O-18 isotopic studies on 135 in situ carbonates from 3 outcrops, combined with detailed sedimentologic, paleontologic, and ichnologic analysis. Four less negative delta C-13 excursion levels were recorded that coincide well with beds containing marine body (barnacle) and trace (Ophiomorpha) fossils. These strata are interbedded with red-green beds containing mudcracks, plant roots, gypsum, and trace fossils of the continental Scoyenia ichnofacies. Our data are significant in that they show for the first time four possible short-lived marine incursions in the Bolivian central Andes during the late Miocene. The result is constrained by a new U-Pb date of 7.17 +/- 0.34 Ma at the top of Yecua strata.

T1 - Sedimentological imprint on subseafloor microbial communities in Western Mediterranean Sea Quaternary sediments JF - Biogeosciences N2 - An interdisciplinary study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between geological and paleoenvironmental parameters and the bacterial and archaeal community structure of two contrasting subseafloor sites in the Western Mediterranean Sea (Ligurian Sea and Gulf of Lion). Both depositional environments in this area are well-documented from paleoclimatic and paleooceanographic point of views. Available data sets allowed us to calibrate the investigated cores with reference and dated cores previously collected in the same area, and notably correlated to Quaternary climate variations. DNA-based fingerprints showed that the archaeal diversity was composed by one group, Miscellaneous Crenarchaeotic Group (MCG), within the Gulf of Lion sediments and of nine different lineages (dominated by MCG, South African Gold Mine Euryarchaeotal Group (SAGMEG) and Halobacteria) within the Ligurian Sea sediments. Bacterial molecular diversity at both sites revealed mostly the presence of the classes Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria within Proteobacteria phylum, and also members of Bacteroidetes phylum. The second most abundant lineages were Actinobacteria and Firmicutes at the Gulf of Lion site and Chloroflexi at the Ligurian Sea site. Various substrates and cultivation conditions allowed us to isolate 75 strains belonging to four lineages: Alpha-, Gammaproteobacteria, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. In molecular surveys, the Betaproteobacteria group was consistently detected in the Ligurian Sea sediments, characterized by a heterolithic facies with numerous turbidites from a deep-sea levee. Analysis of relative betaproteobacterial abundances and turbidite frequency suggested that the microbial diversity was a result of main climatic changes occurring during the last 20 ka. Statistical direct multivariate canonical correspondence analyses (CCA) showed that the availability of electron acceptors and the quality of electron donors (indicated by age) strongly influenced the community structure. In contrast, within the Gulf of Lion core, characterized by a homogeneous lithological structure of upper-slope environment, most detected groups were Bacteroidetes and, to a lesser extent, Betaproteobacteria. At both site, the detection of Betaproteobacteria coincided with increased terrestrial inputs, as confirmed by the geochemical measurements (Si, Sr, Ti and Ca). In the Gulf of Lion, geochemical parameters were also found to drive microbial community composition. Taken together, our data suggest that the palaeoenvironmental history of erosion and deposition recorded in the Western Mediterranean Sea sediments has left its imprint on the sedimentological context for microbial habitability, and then indirectly on structure and composition of the microbial communities during the late Quaternary.
