- W4295210908 abstract "Fine-grained sedimentary rocks generally undergo severe mechanical compaction during burial, which complicates the recognition of primary mudstone fabrics and associated sedimentary features. Early diagenetic concretions, however, provide a rare glimpse of primary fabrics because cement filling the pore space prevents the collapse of original grain arrangements. Hand specimens of concretions collected from the basal condensed section of the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous Vaca Muerta Formation (Neuquén Basin, Argentina), allow for analysis of sedimentary processes responsible for the dispersal, accumulation and burial of organic carbon-rich sediment in an epicontinental sea. Representative samples from central basin depositional localities were examined by optical, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Petrographic observations were complemented with palynological and organic geochemical analyses. Close examination of uncompacted fabrics reveals a significantly more complex and dynamic depositional scenario than previously assumed (suspension settling). Although many of the component grains in the studied samples were originally delivered to the sediment–water interface by suspension settling processes (i.e., marine snow, hypopycnal plumes, pumice rafts), there is substantial evidence of episodic sedimentation controlled by punctuated events of seafloor disturbance and erosion. The common presence of muddy intraclasts indicate that the seafloor was frequently reworked by bottom currents that caused the widespread distribution of organic carbon-rich sediment across distal basin depositional environments. Bottom current circulation supplied oxygen to the sediment–water interface and created suitable conditions for benthic life, contravening the assumption of bottom water anoxia as a prerequisite for organic carbon preservation. The excellent preservation state of freshwater algae (Pediastrum complex) suggests that organic matter contained inside mud composite particles can travel long distances before being deposited in distal depositional settings. Encapsulation protects organic components from mechanical/biogenic degradation and provides an anoxic microenvironment for preventing the oxidation of the organic matter contained inside of mud composite grains. The study shows that organic carbon encapsulation may be an important mechanism for organic carbon preservation in relatively energetic and non-anoxic settings, calling for a critical reappraisal of the processes responsible for the sequestration of organic carbon from the biosphere and its long-term storage in organic-rich mudstone successions." @default.
