Abstract

The Late Jurassic succession of Mount Rettenstein (central Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria) is unique in comparison to all other sections known in the Northern Calcareous Alps because it provides the oldest coexistence of radiolarite basin sedimentation with contemporaneous shallow-water carbonate intercalations. An up to 3.5-m-thick debris flow made up of shallow-water carbonate detritus with a radiolaritic matrix is overlain by thin (calcareous) radiolarite, followed by several hundreds of meters of shallow-water carbonates of the Plassen Formation. Benthic foraminifers (Labyrinthia mirabilis Weynschenk and Alveosepta aff. jaccardi) and the radiolarian associations indicate a depositional age of both the debris flow and the basal Plassen Formation around the boundary of Middle/Late Oxfordian resp. in the Late Oxfordian. This is as yet the first unambiguous evidence of Oxfordian shallow-water sedimentation in the Northern Calcareous Alps. This early neritic stage with the settlement of ooid bars and coral-stromatoporoid-reefs, evidenced by the debris flow resediments in siliceous basin sedimentation, is followed by the definite, rapid progradation of the actual Late Oxfordian/Kimmeridgian–Berriasian Plassen Carbonate Platform with its steep slope configuration. Assumably, this evolution was steered by a mixture of both global environmental and regional tectonic constraints.

Acknowledgments

The work for this article was funded by the Austrian FWF (Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung), project P16812 „Evolution of the Late Jurassic carbonate platform of the Northern Calcareous Alps”. The REM pictures were taken at the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the University of Tübingen. Hartmut Schulz supervised the microscope sessions and was the guarantor of a smooth process. The repeated fruitful discussions on the stratigraphic table of the Jurassic of the Northern Calcareous Alps with Leopold Krystyn and Richard Lein (both University of Vienna) are gratefully acknowledged. Very helpful comments and ideas of two anonymous reviewers helped to improve the manuscript.
