• W4293692902 abstract "The Maastrichtian-Eocene paleoecological conditions of eastern Dahomey (Benin) Basin were investigated using benthic foraminiferal morphotypes from the RCCG BH-4 borehole located on kilometer 46, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, southwest Nigeria. Many previous studies on the basin and other Nigerian sedimentary basins centered on paleobathymetric studies using depth indicator benthic foraminiferal assemblages and planktic/benthic ratio. This present study attempts to categorize benthic species into morphological categories (morphotypes) based on general outline and shape, chamber arrangement, and mode of coiling, and use the distribution of the morphotypes to determine certain paleoecological conditions such as organic matter content, sediment pore water oxygen availability and sediment depositional setting. 25 ditch cutting samples subjected to the kerosene method of micropaleontological sample processing yielded few Maastrichtian – Eocene planktic species ( Planoheterohelix globulosa , Morozovella acuta , Parasubbotina pseudobulloides, and Subbotina velascoensis ) and fairly abundant and diverse benthic foraminiferal assemblages which we categorized into nine (9) morphotypes designated B2, B3, C1, F, H, I, J, N and Q. Six (6) of these morphotypes (B2, B3, I, J, N, and Q) are adapted to the epifaunal mode of life, while morphotypes C1, F, and H belong to the infaunal types. The dominance of the epifaunal morphotypes within the limestone Ewekoro Formation, and the underlying shaly sand unit of the Araromi Formation revealed a shallow marine (inner – middle neritic), low organic matter content, and oxygen-rich environment of deposition for these units. The infaunal morphotypes show sparse occurrence within the borehole except within the organic intercalation within the limestone unit in which 8 counts of Afrobolivina afra were recorded. The disappearance of species (faunal turnover) within the overlying shale unit (Akinbo Formation) is believed to be a response to heightened organic matter flux, reduced oxygen availability, and other climatic perturbations characteristic of the Paleocene-Eocene boundary. Eponides pseudoelevatus (morphotype N) is believed to be an opportunistic species based on the species’ continued occurrence and increased abundance within the shale unit (Akinbo Formation). The species may have recolonized the environment following improved environmental conditions that ensued after the cessation of the end Paleocene climatic perturbation. • Morphotype categorization of Maastrichtian – Paleogene benthic foraminiferal assemblages of the Eastern Dahomey Basin. • Implications of the benthic foraminiferal morphotypes for paleoenvironment of deposition in the basin. • Indication of the Paleocene – Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) event in the Eastern Dahomey Basin based on marked faunal turnover." @default.
