Abstract | A 1375-cm-long gravity core (Site 973-4) was acquired from the Dongsha cold seep area of the northeastern South China Sea (SCS). We measured its stable isotopes of planktonic foraminifera and investigated benthic foraminiferal assemblage compositions. Accelerator mass spectrometry C-14 analysis of planktonic foraminifera shows that some intervals are dated to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3. Pulleniatina obliquiloculata has positive delta C-13 (0.25-1.25 parts per thousand) except for a negative carbon isotopic excursion (up to delta C-13 = 1.15 parts per thousand), but its light -carbon sources remain elusive. The benthic delta C-13 values (Uvigerina) of non -seep and cold-seep boreholes from the SCS have no systematic difference. Therefore, the benthic delta C-13 at Site 973-4 did not record the enhanced seepage activities (if occurred) during the last sea-level lowstand in the Dongsha area. In the pre-Holocene sediments, the foraminiferal assemblages have lower diversities, Shannon-Wiener indices, evenness indices, Simpson indices and higher calcareous proportions like typical cold-seep settings. The changes in oxygen levels (lower in the glacial period than those in the Holocene) indicated by foraminiferal indices reflect either bottom-water oxygen variations on the glacial-interglacial scale or enhanced seepage activities during the last glacial period. |
