“…Carbon isotope stratigraphy is a widely used method for stratigraphic correlations and the paleoclimatic interpretation and timing of environmental changes [ Mutti et al ., , , ; John et al ., ; Brandano et al ., ; Iryu et al ., ; Reuter et al ., ]. However, the temporal resolution of δ 13 C stratigraphy is still comparably low, limiting environmental interpretation as well as the accuracy of the correlation of shallow marine sections to higher resolution global records.…”

During the Miocene prominent oxygen isotope events (Mi‐events) reflect major changes in glaciation, while carbonate isotope maxima (CM‐events) reflect changes in organic carbon burial, particularly during the Monterey carbon isotope excursion. However, despite their importance to the global climate history they have never been recorded in shallow marine carbonate successions. The Decontra section on the Maiella Platform (central Apennines, Italy), however, allows to resolve them for the first time in such a setting during the early to middle Miocene. The present study improves the stratigraphic resolution of parts of the Decontra section via orbital tuning of high‐resolution gamma ray (GR) and magnetic susceptibility data to the 405 kyr eccentricity metronome. The tuning allows, within the established biostratigraphic, sequence stratigraphic, and isotope stratigraphic frameworks, a precise correlation of the Decontra section with pelagic records of the Mediterranean region, as well as the global paleoclimatic record and the global sea level curve. Spectral series analyses of GR data further indicate that the 405 kyr orbital cycle is particularly well preserved during the Monterey Event. Since GR is a direct proxy for authigenic uranium precipitation during increased burial of organic carbon in the Decontra section, it follows the same long‐term orbital pacing as observed in the carbon isotope records. The 405 kyr GR beat is thus correlated with the carbon isotope maxima observed during the Monterey Event. Finally, the Mi‐events can now be recognized in the δ18O record and coincide with plankton‐rich, siliceous, or phosphatic horizons in the lithology of the section.

“…Kita-daito-jima is a carbonate island located in the northwestern region of the Philippine Sea (25°55.6′-57.6′N, 131°16.9′-19.8′E). A deep borehole into atoll deposits was obtained from 431.7 m below the ground surface (mbgs) in 1934 and 1936 (Suzuki et al, 2006;Iryu et al, 2010). The material recovered from the Kita-daito-jima borehole consists exclusively of shallow-water carbonates distinguished in four lithologic units (C1, C2, C3, C4).…”

The carbonate system studied represents an under-investigated sedimentary record formed in the western end of the Tethys during the Chattian relatively warm climate regime. These platform carbonates are examined with respect to rock fabrics, biostratigraphy, biostratinomy, paleoecology, and sequence stratigraphy. Dominant carbonate producers include scleractinian corals and echinoids, but the most prolific were symbiont-bearing benthic foraminifera and coralline algae. The presence of Miogypsinoides complanatus and Miogypsinoides formosensis indicates a late Chattian age (Shallow Benthic Zone 23). The depositional profile is consistent with a homoclinal ramp. The absence of a barrier margin and thus, of a lagoon, facilitated the transport and reworking of biogenic components throughout the platform. As a result, facies are rather homogeneous corresponding to a rudstone mainly formed by benthic foraminifera and coralline algae, which passes basinwards to deeper ramp to hemipelagic deposits rich in echinoids and planktonic foraminifera. Within this dominant facies, only subtle and gradual lateral variations on the relative abundance or absence of certain skeletal components or species are recognized, comprising two end members. A proximal biofacies of benthic foraminifera and coralline algae including corals in growth position, fragments of green algae, and seagrass dwellers where Eulepidina, Nummulites, and Operculina are absent, and a distal biofacies where corals, green algae, and seagrass dwellers are not present, but Eulepidina, Nummulites and Operculina are common. Carbonate deposition was controlled by long-term relative sea-level fluctuations including a Rupelian?-late Chattian transgression, a late Chattian regression, which ended in subaerial exposure of proximal ramp carbonates, and a latest Chattian to early Miocene transgression. The Chattian carbonate platform was finally drowned around the Oligocene/Miocene transition.
