- W1972862743 abstract "The carbonate-dominated Helena Formation of the Mesoproterozoic Belt Supergroup of western North America provides an instructive example of how a range of regional depositional and environmental characteristics of an ancient sea can be deduced on the basis of micron- to metre-scale features. Particularly revealing is the window opened by the presence of abundant molar-tooth structure onto the paleoceanography, paleobathymetry, paleoclimate and tectonic regime of this intracratonic Precambrian basin. The facies hosting molar-tooth structure is composed dominantly of lime mud with substantial subangular quartz and feldspar silt and clay derived from the western and southwestern side of the basin. These are low-energy tempestites deposited on a remarkably flat sea bottom at the limit of storm-wave base, at about 50 m. Sporadic domical, stromatolite patch reefs confirm that the sea bottom was normally within the photic zone. The ubiquity of molar-tooth structure suggests frequent, near-field seismic activity during subsidence, which generated ground motion sufficient to liquefy granular lime mud and terrigenous silt. Sporadic tsunamis from major submarine faults far to the west pounded the shallow-water platform to the east. Tsunami off-surge swept ooids and rounded, coarse-grained, feldspathic quartz sand westward into deeper water, and created strongly erosive currents that left gutter casts composed of lags of preferentially cemented molar-tooth structure in otherwise relatively low-energy facies. Mineralogical and geochemical evidence, confirms that the Belt basin was marine. Organic matter was essentially fully oxidized in the water column. Original high-Mg composition and cementation of lime mud in molar-tooth structure indicate that calcite precipitated above the thermocline in supersaturated seawater under tropical conditions. Scattered bimineralic ooids in allochthonous grainstones indicate that shoals on the platform to the east were intermittently above a shallow aragonite compensation depth in warm water. Rare vestiges of halite and gypsum demonstrate occasional, temporary salinity stratification for periods of up to a few years. Unaltered feldspar and mica grains point to a generally arid climate, but the large volume of clay is suggestive of protracted weathering and transport." @default.
