What makes seep carbonates ignore self-sealing and grow vertically: the role of burrowing decapod crustaceans

Abstract: Abstract. The mechanisms that govern the vertical growth of seep carbonates were deciphered by studying the sedimentary architecture of a 15 m thick, 8 m wide column of limestone encased in deep-water marl in the middle Callovian interval of the Terres Noires Formation in the SE France Basin. The limestone body, also called “pseudobioherm”, records intense bioturbation, with predominant traces of the Thalassinoides/Spongeliomorpha suite, excavated by decapod crustaceans. Bioturbation was organized in four tier… Show more

“…The abundance of bicarbonate allows the fast precipitation of aragonite (Raiswell, 1988). As this precipitation continued, the permeability of the carbonate crust decreased, which was previously described as the self-sealing process (Blouet et al, 2020;Hovland, 2002), and this caused the downward advection of sulfate from seawater to be more likely to bypass the carbonate-paved areas and to enter sediment pores and maintain the SD-AOM (Figure 3b). The pores within the recently formed carbonates might not be completely clogged at this stage (14-12 ka).…”

“…Tisoa is a trace fossil. In fact, methane-charged fluids can vent through burrows because methane is not toxic (e.g., Kamens and Stern 1973), and concretions may form around such burrow-related conduits of methane-charged fluids (e.g., Wetzel 2013;Wiese et al 2015;Blouet et al 2017;Blouet et al 2021bBlouet et al , 2021c. Depending on the amount of bicarbonate and Ca 2þ ions as well as growth time, small, elliptical or long, tubular concretions may form (see Friren 1870;Breton 2006).…”
