TY - JOUR A1 - Pokorny, Richard A1 - Krmicek, Lukas A1 - Sudo, Masafumi T1 - An endemic ichnoassemblage from a late Miocene paleolake in SE Iceland JF - Palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, palaeoecology : an international journal for the geo-sciences N2 - In Porisdalur valley, a small relict of a sedimentary body was identified in southeastern Iceland. It probably represents a remnant of the deep, tectonically arranged paleolake (Late Miocene, 8-9 Ma), and filled by volcaniclastic material from nearby, active volcanic centers. In the profile of tuffitic sandstone, siltstone and claystone, the ripple-bedding layers, molds and flute casts indicate periodic mass flow episodes. In the sedimentary profile, the characteristic arrangement of sediments is evident, showing features of the Bouma sequences. In the claystone layers, deposited during episodes of lowest kinetic energy, a specific ichnoassemblage was found, represented by Thorichnus ramosus igen. et isp. nov., T. corniculatus igen. et isp. nov., Mammillichnis jakubi isp. nov., Helminthoidichnites multilaqueatus comb. nov., Vamaspor jachymi igen. et isp. nov. and five preliminarily identified trace fossils. The assemblage belongs to Mermia ichnofacies, the nonmarine representative of an ichnofacies, developed in a turbiditic environment; most of identified trace fossils are so far endemic.

The amphibole megacrysts may constitute the first, and the younger phlogopite megacrysts the later phase of mafic, hydrous melilitic magma crystallization. It cannot be ruled out that the amphibole megacrysts are petrogenetically unrelated to tephra and phlogopite megacrysts and were derived from mantle xenoliths or disaggregated older, deep crustal pegmatites. This is in line both with the rarity of amphibole at Zelezna hurka and with the observed signs of magmatic resorption at the edges of amphibole crystals.
