Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental factors influencing skeletal grain sediment associations: a critical review of Miocene examples from the western Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of foramol, rhodalgal and bryomol skeletal grain associations in ancient shallow-marine limestones is commonly interpreted as evidence for non-tropical palaeoclimate, despite temperature being only one of several factors influencing carbonate-producing biota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrients, sea level and tectonics: constrains for the facies architecture of a Miocene carbonate ramp in central Italy
Marco Brandano,Laura Corda +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a bloom of suspension-feeding organisms is interpreted to reflect an increased nutrient availability, hence a change from oligotrophic to eutrophic conditions, and it is postulated that this deviation is related to an increase in tectonic subsidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterozoan carbonates in oligotrophic tropical waters: The Attard member of the lower coralline limestone formation (Upper Oligocene, Malta)
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution analysis of the Attard Member of the Lower Coralline Limestone Formation (Upper Oligocene, Malta) is presented, and the biotic associations and palaeolatitudinal reconstructions suggest that carbonate sedimentation took place in tropical waters under oligotrophic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facies analysis and palaeoenvironmental interpretation of the Late Oligocene Attard Member (Lower Coralline Limestone Formation), Malta
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution analysis of the Attard Member of the Lower Coralline Limestone Formation (Late Oligocene, Malta) is presented to decipher the internal and external factors controlling the architecture of a typical Late Oligolithic platform.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aphotic zone carbonate production on a Miocene ramp, Central Apennines, Italy
Laura Corda,Marco Brandano +1 more
TL;DR: The lower Miocene Latium-Abruzzi platform was a low-angle ramp that developed under tropical-to-subtropical conditions, but was dominated by bryomol and rhodalgal sediment associations.
