Abstract:
A diagenetic study was carried out on the cored Miocene section in CRP-1 by thin-section, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, electron microprobe and stable isotopic analysis. Carbonate (calcite, siderite) microconcretions occur locally within intergranular pores and open fractures, and some sands are cemented by microcrystalline calcite. Calcite cement at 115.12 mbsf (metres below sea floor) and possibly microconcretionary calcite at 44.62 mbsf record infiltration of meteoric waters into the section, consistent with sequence stratigraphic evidence for multiple glacial advances over the CRP-1 drillsite. Diagenetic carbonates incorporated carbon derived from both organic matter and marine carbonate. Carbon isotope data are consistent with microconcretion formation at shallow depths. Sandstones are poorly compacted and, despite containing a large component of chemically unstable grains, are virtually unaltered. Preservation of the chemically unstable grain component reflects the cold climate depositional setting and shallow maximum burial depths.
