摘要

About 70 fossil and live-collected specimens of Desmophyllum dianthus were collected from steep rocky surfaces and time-averaged assemblages at their base ("coral graveyards") in the southern Labrador Sea at depths ranging from similar to 1700 m (Orphan Knoll) to similar to 2200 m (Flemish Cap). Aside from stable isotope and mineralogical analysis, U-series and C-14 age determinations were performed on the samples. Fossil corals from the coral graveyards display two principal age clusters corresponding respectively to the Holocene and Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5c intervals. Three samples lay outside these clusters, at similar to 13.5 ka (Bolling-Allerod), similar to 64 ka (MIS 3) and at similar to 181 ka (MIS 7a). The clusters are thought to record intervals with both i) high food availability, either through pelagic primary production in the overlying water column or more effectively in relation with particulate and dissolved organic carbon transport via an active Western Boundary Undercurrent (WBUC), and ii) high carbonate micrite advection by this current from more open North Atlantic coccolithophorid production areas, maintaining an aragonite saturation horizon (now at 2300 m) slightly deeper than the coral habitat (similar to 2200 m). Attempts at estimating ventilation ages from Th-230 vs C-14 age offsets in Holocene samples failed. This is due to uncertainties about the initial C-14-apparentage of coral skeletons and to their high initial excesses in Th-230. This initial excess relates mostly to the scavenging of Th-230 produced by the dissolved marine U by the coral-feeding organic matter carried along the WBUC trajectory. In addition, discrete diagenetic U-fluxes can be documented in fossil samples. They are well illustrated in specimens from MIS 5c age, which depict variable excesses in U-234 VS U-238, but similar Th-230/U-238 activity ratios, pointing to a recent but fractionating redistribution of uranium in the samples. These are also documented by the development of Fe-Mn coatings of specimens exposed at the sea floor, due to the winnowing of embedding slope sediments, with the mid- to late Holocene intensified WBUC. Such diagenetic processes are to be notably taken into consideration for the dating of pre-Holocene samples. Thus, both the initial isotopic properties of corals from this WBUC-influenced, mid-continental slope, and subsequent diagenetic effects impact their calculated ages, and blur estimates of "ventilation ages" based on their C-14 vs Th-230-ages offsets.
