Astronomical calibration of the Jurassic time-scale from cyclostratigraphy in British mudrock formations
- Abstract:
-
Three British Jurassic mudrock formations have been investigated, via time-series analysis, for evidence of sedimentary cyclicity related to orbital-climatic (Milankovitch) cyclicity: the Blue Lias, the Belemnite Marls and the Kimmeridge Clay Formation. Magnetic-susceptibility measurements through the Blue Lias (uppermost Triassic to Sinemurian) were used to generate high-resolution time-series. The data indicate the presence of a regular sedimentary cycle that gradually varies in wavelength ...
