Variations of the carbon and oxygen isotopic composition in the emsian and eifelian deposits in the south-east of the Latvian saddle

Abstract

The results of investigation of carbon and oxygen isotopes distribution in dolomites, dolomite marls and dolomite clays of the Emsian-Eifelian section of the North-Polotskaya parametric borehole in the south-east of the Latvian Saddle are given. The section is mainly characterized by near-zero δ13C values that are typical for sedimentary marine carbonates. There are negative excursions of δ13C with an amplitude of up to 4‰, marking gypsum-bearing intervals in the middle parts of the Vitebsk and Osveya horizons and at the border of the Adrov and Osveya horizons. These excursions are explained by the activation of the continental waters inflow enriched with soil carbon, under conditions of a strong basin shallowing and, possibly, its division into separate evaporate ponds. A monotonous 4‰ decrease of δ13C values upwards from the bottom is noted in the Kostjukovichi horizon. It’s due to the activation of a continental runoff during the sediment accumulation of this part of the section, which subsequently led to formation of a 5 meters thick member of carbonate-free clays. It has been suggested that the oxygen isotopic composition of the Early-Middle Devonian sea water in the studied area was slightly lighter (δ18О ~ -5…-4.5‰) than that shown on the Global Chemostratigraphic curve. δ18О values over than ~ -5…-4.5‰, are interpreted as a result of evaporative water concentration, which is most clearly depicted by the numbers in the gypsum-bearing part of the section (0.5‰ – in the Vitebsk horizon, 0.2‰ – in the Adrov and -0.8‰ – in Osveya ones).
