| contents | Timing and implications of Late Cretaceous tectonic and sedimentary events in Jamaica S.F. Mitchell Ciencias de la Tierra Jamaica Tertiary Cretaceous Stratigraphy Uncorfomities The Cretaceous succession in Jamaica can be divided into sedimentary packages bounded by major unconformities(synthems). On the base of biostratigraphy and ages derived from strontium isotope ratios, these unconformitieshave been dated as Early Santonian, Late Campanian-Early Maastrichtian and Early Eocene. Eachunconformity is also characterised by the widespread deposition of shallow water limestones, and a further shallowlimestone depositional event occurred in the late Middle Campanian. Some unconformities can be relatedto known tectonic events (based on either Burke-type or Pindell-type models) that affected the Caribbeanregion. The Early Santonian event is widespread and occurred shortly after the creation of the Caribbean LargeIgneous Province. The late Middle Campanian shallow water limestone event could correlate to the reversal ofthe Great Arc of the Caribbean in Burke-type models, but is unrepresented in Pindell-type models. The LateCampanian-Early Maastrichtian unconformity is related to the first collision of the Caribbean Plate with NorthAmerica in both Burke-type and Pindell-type models. The Early Eocene event is associated with the onset ofrifting that controlled Tertiary depositional patterns across Jamaica. 2006 artículo científico 1695-6133 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=50540209 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=505 Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal application/pdf Universitat de Barcelona Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal (España) Num.1-2 Vol.4 |
