摘要

Analysis of the Serravallian calcareous nannofossils from eight Niger Delta deep offshore wells shows, for the first time, evidence of the Middle Miocene carbonate crash from the Gulf of Guinea. These nannofossil-poor sediments provide very low biostratigraphic resolution and preclude a refined biozonation for the interval in this region. Evidence of such poor preservation of calcium carbonate microfossils (mainly foraminifera and nannofossils) in the Middle Miocene is widespread in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, where the term 'carbonate crash' was first used. The carbonate crash has also been identified from the Caribbean, Atlantic and Indian oceans. With the recognition of the event in the Gulf of Guinea, it could be said to be a global phenomenon. The carbonate crash, as observed in the studied Niger Delta wells, spans the interval of nannofossil zones NN5 to NN8. The event has been documented between zones NN5 and NN10 in other regions of the world. The overlap in time and the nature of the crash in the Gulf of Guinea is comparable with reports from other parts of the world, suggesting a common cause as responsible for the crash.
