Formation of microbial organic carbonates during the Middle Oxfordian (North East Amu Darya Basin, Uzbekistan): palaeoenvironmental significance and …
2019
International audience; The Late Jurassic was a period of major global carbon cycle perturbations with episodes of anoxia leading to regional accumulation of organic matter in sediments worldwide. The Tubegatan section (SW Gissar Mountains, Uzbekistan) located in the Northern Tethys, shows atypical organic-rich limestone and marl deposits (up to 6% of total organic carbon) marked by pronounced excursions of δ13Ccarb (amplitude of ca. 12‰) and δ13Corg (amplitude of ca. 4‰) recorded during the Middle Oxfordian (Transversarium Zone). A transdisciplinary approach including sedimentology, palynofacies study, mineralogy, organic and inorganic geochemistry was carried out to elucidate the origin o…

23 pages; International audience; The Late Jurassic was a period of major global carbon cycle perturbations with episodes of anoxia leading to regional accumulation of organic matter in sediments worldwide. The Tubiegatan section (SW Gissar Mountains, Uzbekistan) located in the Northern Tethys, shows atypical organic-rich limestone and marl deposits (up to 6% of total organic carbon) marked by pronounced negative excursions of δ13Ccarb (amplitude of ca. 12‰) and δ13Corg (amplitude of ca. 4‰) recorded during the Middle Oxfordian (Transversarium Zone). A transdisciplinary approach including sedimentology, palynofacies characterization, mineralogy, organic and inorganic geochemistry was carrie…

International audience; The SW-Gissar range (westernmost part of the Tien Shan) consists of a succession of anticlines andsynclines forming a relief between the Amu Darya and Afghan-Tajik basins. Recent fieldwork has beenperformed to study the development and the architecture of a vast Middle-Upper Jurassic carbonate platform. The studied carbonate series crops out along cliffs overlying Lower to Middle Jurassic continental then marine deposits. Carbonate thickness reaches 500 m in the central and southern Gissar and thins up northwards, near the paleo-border of the Amu Darya Basin. The goal of this study was to build a highresolution stratigraphic framework for these deposits, based on che…
Characterization of Upper Jurassic organic-matter-rich carbonates in the Gissar Mountains (Tubiegatan section, Uzbekistan)
2017
International audience; New investigations are currently underway on the Middle-Upper Jurassic carbonates of the Gissar Mountains in the Amu-Darya Basin. Located in the southwest of the Gissar Mountains (SE Uzbekistan), the Tubiegatan section corresponds to 30-meter-thick limestone, overlain by 10-meter-thick dark limestone and marl interval. These dark, “black shale-type deposits” were also recognized in cores from the subsurface of the Amu-Darya Basin. The organic-rich deposits interval is precisely dated to the Luciaeformis and Schilli Subzones (Transversarium Zone, Middle Oxfordian) by ammonites. A transdisciplinary approach including sedimentology, organic matter characterization (Rock…
