“…We compare significant carbon isotope fluctuations of terrestrial organic matter from the Upper Cretaceous sequence in the Obira area with previously reported δ 13 C profiles for terrestrial organic matter from Japan and Russia (Hasegawa, 1997(Hasegawa, , 2003aHasegawa & Hatsugai, 2000;Hasegawa et al 2003) (Fig. 5).…”

“…Macrofossil data for the Obira area are after Tanabe et al (1977), Matsumoto et al (1981), Sekine, Takagi & Hirano (1985), Funaki & Hirano (2004), Oizumi et al (2005), Nishimura, Maeda & Shigeta (2006) and Uramoto et al (2007). While previous studies have reported that the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary positive δ 13 C fluctuation is characterized by a single or double spike event in the Yezo Group (Hasegawa & Saito, 1993;Hasegawa, 1997;Hasegawa & Hatsugai, 2000;Hasegawa et al 2003), the present study obtained δ 13 C data with higher resolution, thereby identifying high-frequency δ 13 C fluctuations. The δ 13 C values observed in the Obira area (from −25.3 ‰ to −21.8 ‰) are similar to the δ 13 C fluctuations in the Kotanbetsu area (from −25.0 ‰ to −21.8 ‰) (Hasegawa & Hatsugai, 2000), thus suggesting the maximum amplitude of terrestrial organic δ 13 C fluctuation during the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event in the hinterland.…”

The different δ 13 C patterns in the Kotanbetsu and Naiba areas (Hasegawa & Hatsugai, 2000;Hasegawa et al 2003) are due to the relative scarcity of exposure and the wide sampling interval.

Stratigraphic fluctuations of carbon isotope values of terrestrial organic matter within the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian-Santonian) sequence in the Obira area of Hokkaido, Japan, record distinctive δ 13 C fluctuations for the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary, the Middle Turonian, the upper Turonian-lower Coniacian, and the Santonian. A biostratigraphic framework of the agediagnostic taxa (ammonoids, bivalves and planktic foraminifers) indicates that these δ 13 C fluctuation events are comparable with those recorded in δ 13 C data of terrestrial organic matter in Japan and marine carbonates in Europe. These correlations reinforce the utility of these δ 13 C events in terms of global chemostratigraphy. In particular, the δ 13 C patterns within the overall positive interval of the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event are highly conformable between marine and terrestrial records. The consistent nature of these different records of δ 13 C fluctuation patterns demonstrates that the terrestrial organic δ 13 C data mirror the global-scale δ 13 C patterns in the carbon reservoir of oceanatmosphere-terrestrial biosphere during the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event. In addition, global correlation of short-term marine and terrestrial organic δ 13 C fluctuations of the Upper Cretaceous sequence indicate that the magnitude of several terrestrial organic δ 13 C events appears more amplified than that of coeval marine carbonate δ 13 C events. This correlation is interpreted to mean that the effects of local CO 2 emission into the atmosphere by release of terrestrial methane hydrate or biomass burning of terrestrial vegetation in the hinterland of the NE Asian region have been superimposed on the global δ 13 C trend and resulted in the terrestrial organic δ 13 C records of the Yezo Group.

“…Koch et al (2003) concluded that an inconsistent signature may be related to diagenetic alteration or contamination of preserved organic matter. Gröcke et al (1999), Jahren et al (2001), and Hasegawa et al (2003) found matching ␦ 13 C profiles in Cretaceous terrestrial organic matter and correlative marine carbonates. Here, in a more direct test, onset and recovery are compared in the same stratigraphic section, and organic carbon yields a ␦ 13 C profile very similar to that recorded in soil-nodule carbonate.…”

The negative carbon isotope excursion at the Paleocene-Eocene boundary is a chemostratigraphic marker widely used for correlation of marine and continental stratigraphic sections. It is linked to massive dissociation of sedimentary methane hydrates and helps to explain an important greenhouse thermal event (Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum), marine extinctions, and mammalian faunal change on three continents. We show that the carbon isotope excursion recorded in dispersed organic carbon (DOC) from fine-grained terrestrial sedimentary rocks at Polecat Bench, Wyoming, is very similar to that described in two high-resolution studies of pedogenic soil-nodule carbonate from the same section. All show a rapid onset, an ϳ40 m series of excursion values, and a slower recovery. However, the carbon isotope excursion in soil-nodule carbonate starts and ends ϳ3-5 m lower stratigraphically than that in DOC. We hypothesize that enhanced diffusion of atmospheric CO 2 and subsurface diagenesis in an environment of good drainage and elevated temperature and pCO 2 may explain this offset. The reliability of ␦ 13 C in DOC is attributed to mixing and averaging of isotopic signals from different organic compounds and tissues.

Carbon (d 13 C org , d 13 C carb ) and oxygen (d 18 O carb ) isotope records are presented for an expanded Upper Cretaceous (Turonian-Coniacian) hemipelagic succession cored in the central Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, Czech Republic. Geophysical logs, biostratigraphy and stable carbon isotope chemostratigraphy provide a high-resolution stratigraphic framework. The d 13 C carb and d 13 C org profiles are compared, and the time series correlated with published coeval marine and non-marine isotope records from Europe, North America and Japan. All previously named Turonian carbon isotope events are identified and correlated at high-resolution between multiple sections, in different facies, basins and continents. The viability of using both carbonate and organic matter carbon isotope chemostratigraphy for improved stratigraphic resolution, for placing stage boundaries, and for intercontinental correlation is demonstrated, but anchoring the time series using biostratigraphic data is essential. An Early to Middle Turonian thermal maximum followed by a synchronous episode of stepped cooling throughout Europe during the Middle to Late Turonian is evidenced by bulk carbonate and brachiopod shell d18 O carb data, and regional changes in the distribution and composition of macrofaunal assemblages. The Late Turonian Cool Phase in Europe was coincident with a period of long-term sea-level fall, with significant water-mass reorganization occurring during the mid-Late Turonian maximum lowstand. Falling D 13 C (d 13 C carb -d 13 C org ) trends coincident with two major cooling pulses, point to pCO 2 drawdown accompanying cooling, but the use of paired carbon isotopes as a high-resolution pCO 2 proxy is compromised in the low-carbonate sediments of the Bohemian Basin study section by diagenetic overprinting of the d 13 C carb record. Carbon isotope chemostratigraphy is confirmed as a powerful tool for testing and refining intercontinental and marine to terrestrial correlations.
