Abstract

The study area is located in Sedayu District, Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta Province which belongs to the Sentolo Formation. This area is an interesting place to study because there are erosional boundaries that indicate an unconformity in the Sentolo Formation. In this study, stratigraphic measurements and sampling were carried out in the field, then the samples were prepared and analyzed for the content of planktic and benthic foraminifera fossil. The results of the analysis are the determination of biozonation, paleobathimetry, and identification of sedimentation rates and unconformity. From the data analysis, ware known that the Sentolo Formation in Sedayu area can be divided into three lithofacies, namely thickening upward calcareous sandstone – calcareous siltstone facies, channel calcareous sandstone – calcareous siltstone facies andthinning upward limestone facies. Based on the biostratigraphy analysis, can be divided into four biozonations, namely the PL1A, PL1B, PL1C, and PL2 zones which are included in the Early Pliocene age. There is an unconformity in the facies boundary of the channel calcareous sandstone – calcareous siltstone facies with thinning upward limestone facies, identified by the presence of an erosional boundary at that interval and also supported by sudden changes in paleobatimetry from Upper Bathyal to Middle Neritic. The sedimentation rate identified in this area has a value of 15.5 m / Ma which identified in the lower facies. The extrapolation results of age and sedimentation rates concluded that the unconformity occurred at 4.46–4.20 Ma, and eroded 4.03 m thick of sedimentary rocks

Abstract

The date of the paleoclimate event was ascertained using a biostratigraphic analysis. The thickness of the Oyo Formation was measured using measurements with a Jacob stick method, yielding a thickness of 80.8 meters and 23 rock samples. In the Southern Mountains Zone,  new result of the age of the upper part of the Oyo Formation by biostratigraphy investigation of the hill Late Miocene (9.79 Ma to 5.78 Ma). Biostratigraphic investigation in the Oyo River revealed 28 species and 9 genera, with two datums. The study area was classified into three biozonations based on the datum found Globorotalia acostaensis/M13a/N16 zone, the lower Globorotalia plesiotumida/M13b/N17 zone, and the upper Globigerinoides conglobatus/M14/N17 zone. The results of a paleoclimate analysis on the Oyo River Section show a general cooling tendency in the study area. Seven paleoclimate zones can be determined from these trends consisting of four warm and three cold zones. Zone I (warm), zone II (cold), zone III (warm), and zone IV (cold) have the coldest peak in the study region in 8.3 Ma, zone V (warm), and zone VI (cold), followed by zone VII (warm). Based on the correlation with other studies (South China Sea, Pacific Ocean, Oyo River, Ngalang River, and Ngioro Section), paleoclimate events in the study area occur globally.

Abstract

Sediment recycling has been known to occur within Quaternary coastal barriers of the greater Coorong Coastal Plain, southern Australia. A high degree of reworking of skeletal carbonates from Late Pleistocene deposits (Robe Range) is evident based on the novel application of amino acid dating of the single-foraminifera species Lamellodiscorbis dimidiatus. More importantly, some apparently transparent, well-preserved tests indicate anomalously high extents of amino acid racemization, implying that reworked fossils could not be easily distinguished based on taphonomic signatures such as corrosion. Here, we examine the surface microtexture of this species, constrained with well-preserved specimens, on a modern beach of Canunda, southern Australia, using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The aim is to identify surface features of foraminifera in more detail, capturing signs of early diagenesis associated with weakly consolidated Late Pleistocene coastal barriers. The results reveal that some well-preserved tests show localized blocky calcite cementation, most notably within intraseptal spaces or impact sites. The EDS spectra of cement indicate lower Mg content than unaltered foraminifera surface. This suggests low-Mg calcite precipitation due to meteoric diagenesis experienced by the onshore Late Pleistocene coastal barrier. It implies that these foraminifera shells are reworked fossils originated from older successions and were subsequently redeposited within the present-day beach. SEM-EDS used in this study demonstrates its capability in examining small-scale carbonate diagenesis products beyond the traditional binocular microscope. Thus, this tool is recommended to aid amino acid dating in detecting reworked fossils.
