Topic: Lutetian


  
  Lutetian Stage , Paleogene Period in Hampshire - Hampshire Museums Service
In Hampshire and the Isle of Wight the Lutetian stage (formerly known as the Middle Eocene) is represented by approximately 151 metres of sands and clays, collectively known as the Bracklesham Group.
The Lutetian stage began with a shallow marine or brackish estuarine phase, which was followed by the marine phase known as the Earnley formation.
The fossil fauna of the Lutetian is dominated by invertebrates, particularly molluscs.

The Ypresian is dated from 56.5 to 50 mya, the Lutetian from 50 to 42.1 mya, the Bartonian from 42.1 to 38.6 mya, and the Priabonian from 38.6 to 35.4 mya.
Rodhocetus and Indocetus are nearly contemporaneous fossils from the early Lutetian of the Domanda Formation in Pakistan (whereas Pakicetus and Ambulocetus are from the Kuldana Formation).
Gingerich and others place it in the middle Lutetian, but the holotype was collected from the basal portion of the lower Mokattam Formation in Egypt, which some experts date to the early Lutetian.

Originally, the Lutetian was defined by De Lapparent in 1883 and revised by Blondeau (1981), who proposed a new stratotype 50 km North of Paris.
According to present knowledge, in term of planktic foraminifera the base of the Lutetian is close to the first appearance of the genus Hantkenina, which coincides with the base of the P10 Zone of Berggren et al.
And in term of shallow benthic foraminifera the base of the Lutetian is approximately placed at the base of the SBZ13 Zone of Serra-Kiel et al.

A late early Eocene (Ypresian) to early middle Eocene (Lutetian) age range for the Fossil Butte palynoflora is suggested by the co-occurrence of Bombacacidites, Eucommia, Pistillipollenites mcgregorii, Platycarya platycaryoides, and Momipites triradiatus.
The results of this comparison confirm that most of the Fossil Butte palynoflora is late early Eocene (late Ypresian or Lostcabinian) in age as suggested by the occurrence of Lambdotherium in the middle unit (Froehlich and Breithaupt, 1997).
The early middle Eocene age is suggested by a series of K-Ar age dates on a tuff (known as the "K-spar tuff" by Buchheim, 1994) in the uppermost part of the middle unit.

The "marls with crabs" have been assigned a lower middle Eocene, specifically middle Lutetian, age in the Floricici region (Juracic, 1979), from which we collected specimens of Harpactocarcinus (Drobne et al., 1979; Pavlovec et al., 1991; Cosovic and Drobne, 1998).
Subsequently, an early Lutetian age was assigned to the "marls with crabs" in the regions of Buzet and Roc (Pavlovec and Pavsic, 1986) at localities from which we also collected specimens of Harpactocarcinus.

These fragments of the two collided continents were covered collectively by the continental-shallow marine sediments as a common cover during the Maastrichtian.
However, the geologic data obtained from the region shows that there was no contemporary subduction system that to the magmatic activity may be associated with.
Therefore the Lutetian magmatic rocks are evaluated to be the products of the post-collisional magmatism.

The Roncal formation was deposited during the Middle Lutetian [Puigdefàbregas and Sánchez Carpintero, 1978a,b], indicating a similar age for the Urzainqui thrust.
Since the Larra thrust was probably active during Middle-Late Lutetian to Bartonian times [Montes, 1992] and the Gavarnie thrust during Priabonian to Rupelian times [Puigdefàbregas, 1975; Teixell, 1992], the Urzainqui thrust is most likely connected to the Larra floor thrust.
The timing of this syntectonic sedimentation and activity of the Urzainqui thrust has a profound influence on the timing of the thrusting activity of the Ardibidipicua thrusts.

During this stage it occurs the emplacement of the sub-volcanic complexes of Sintra, Sines and Monchique, basaltic extrusions at Lisbon-Leiria region, diapirism and reactivation of the Nazaré-Lousã fault (uplift of the south-eastern block).
During the upper Lutetian - lower Chattian structural stage, the relative motion between Iberia and Europe became convergent and the Pyrenean compression very intense.
On the western border of the Hesperian Massif occurs an important distensive reactivation of NE-SW fractures, tilting the blocks to SW and developing elongated tectonic troughs perpendicularly to the imposed traction.

The study of biostratigrphic successions suggests that marine conditions commenced in Maastrichtian and continued till Early Lutetian during which the Kakara-Subathu succession was deposited.
The first regression is related to collision between the two plates, which resulted in uplift of the region in the early Late Ypresian times during which the beds of Cordiopsis subathooensis-Turritella subathooensis Zone were deposited.
The second regression which took place in the Early Lutetian time (47 Ma) is attributed to uplift of the region due to continued collision between the two plates during which beds of Musculus muttali-Parinomya blanfordiana Zone were deposited.

The upper Lutetian portion of the middle Eocene is represented by polarity Chrons C20r, C20n, C19r, and C19n.
The middle Eocene Lutetian and Bartonian stages are relatively expanded, and the magnetostratigraphy pattern displays an excellent record of polarity Chrons C21n through C17n, including indications of the brief Subchrons C17n.1r and C17n.2r within polarity Chron C17n (Fig.

 Implications of Magnetostratigraphic Correlations
The basal Lutetian is represented by a hiatus across the margin, and there are indications of erosion of the uppermost Ypresian and differences of timing of resumption of sedimentation at the various sites.
Above this basal Lutetian hiatus, the thickness pattern of individual polarity zones (e.g., polarity zones corresponding to Chrons C20r and C20n) display the typical seaward thinning.
This end Lutetian event is also reflected as a minor hardground in the cored sediments of Site 1052.
