Kurzfassung

Organischwandige Dinoflagellatenzysten (Dinozysten) aus marinen Sedimenten werden in den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten zunehmend als Indikatoren der Paläoumweltbedingungen, des Paläoklimas und der Paläozeanographie des jüngeren Mesozoikums und Känozoikums genutzt. Da Dinozysten lösungsresistent sind und in fast allen aquatischen Lebensräumen vorkommen, liefern die aus ihnen abgeleiteten Signale eine wertvolle Ergänzung zu den Signalen kalkiger und kieseliger Mikrofossilgruppen wie Foraminiferen, kalkigem Nannoplankton, Diatomeen und Radiolarien. Zum Teil geht die Aussagekraft von Dinozysten zur Paläoum-welt-Rekonstruktion sogar über diejenige kalkiger und kieseliger Mikrofossilien hinaus.

Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über den gegenwärtigen Wissensstand zur Paläoökologie von Dinozysten. Er diskutiert das Potenzial von Dinozysten zur Rekonstruktion von Produktivital, Temperatur und Salzgehalt in der oberen Wassersäule, zur Verwendung in der Sequenzstratigraphie sowie zur Rekonstruktion der Sauerstoffversorgung im Boden- und Porenwasser mariner Lebensräume und in der Wassersäule epikontinentaler Flachmeere.

Abstract

Over the past two decades, organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts) have been increasingly used as paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic indicators in marine sediments from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Because dinocysts are acid-resistant and abundant in nearly all aquatic settings, the dinocyst-based environmental and paleoclimatic information is complementary to the data derived from calcareous and siliceous microfossil groups such as foraminifers, calcareous nannoplankton, diatoms, and radiolarians. In some cases, the environmental information of dinocysts even exceeds that of calcareous and siliceous microfossils.

The present contribution provides an outline of the present-day knowledge on dinocyst paleoecology. It reviews the potential of dinocysts for the reconstruction of sea-surface productivity, temperature, and salinity as well as their application in sequence stratigraphy. Finally, it evaluates the applicability of dinocysts in reconstructing the paleo-oxygenation in the bottom and pore waters of marine environments and in the lower water column of epeiric seas.
