Fusuline biotic turnover across the Guadalupian–Lopingian (Middle–Upper Permian) boundary in mid-oceanic carbonate buildups: Biostratigraphy of accreted limestone in Japan
چکیده انگلیسی

Two sections in Upper Middle to Lower Upper Permian shallow-water limestones at Kamura and Akasaka in southwest Japan were analyzed for detailed lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy. Both sections represent ancient seamount-capping carbonate buildups developed on a basaltic basement in a mid-oceanic environment. The occurrence of abundant Tethyan fusulines allows the recognition of well-defined biostratigraphic zonation in both sections and their mutual correlation. The Upper Guadalupian (Middle Permian) Lepidolina/Yabeina Zone is overlain conformably by the Lower Lopingian (Upper Permian) Codonofusiella–Reichelina Zone with a 13 m-thick transitional interval barren of index taxa. The Guadalupian–Lopingian (G–L) boundary is marked by the First Appearance Datum (FAD) of the Lopingian Codonofusiella–Reichelina assemblage in both sections. This study recognizes for the first time the G–L boundary horizon in a mid-oceanic shallow-water environment. In addition, the shallow-water carbonates in the study sections record the extinction of the Middle Permian large-sized fusuline family Verbeekinidae at the G–L boundary in mid-Panthalassa, as well as in shallow-water Tethyan shelf areas, demonstrating positively that the G–L boundary mass extinction occurred on a global scale. The abrupt elimination of large-shelled fusulines, followed by the domination of small-shelled fusulines may indicate that environmental stress occurred at the end of Guadalupian. The dying-out of symbiotic algae may have caused the selective extinction of the large-shelled fusulines.
