Eccentricity control on fluvial sedimentation in the tropics during the Middle-Late Pennsylvanian icehouse (∼306–314 Ma, Upper Silesian Basin)

Original language description

Far-field effects of the Late Paleozoic glaciation (∼340–260 Ma) recorded in well-dated stratigraphic intervals of the Pangea can be instrumental in detecting the short-term variability of icehouse climate and deconvolving the climate mechanisms. This study examines the Cracow Sandstone Series (CS), which provides a snapshot of the Middle to Late Pennsylvanian (∼306–314 Ma) fluvial sedimentation in the eastern equatorial Pangea (Upper Silesian Basin, ∼2°N paleolatitude). Spectral estimates of borehole lithological data suggest predominant ∼100-kyr eccentricity pacing of coal-bearing fluvial cycles and persistence of this pattern across the onset of Late Pennsylvanian aridification. The immediate climatic and depositional controls involve changes in seasonal precipitation along the Intertropical Convergence Zone and resulting fluctuations in sediment input. The prominence of eccentricity pacing and suppression of precession-scale variability in the fluvial environment contrasts with the frequency spectra of seasonal insolation series – an issue comparable to the “100-kyr problem” of the Late Pleistocene. The traditional explanation considers the eccentricity component being imposed as a far-field response to glaciation, analogous to the Pleistocene carbon-cycle feedback. Here we propose an alternative possibility that calls upon time-integrated insolation at the equator and the role of semi-annual wet/dry cyclicity in transferring variance from precession-scale insolation changes to the modulating eccentricity term. Autogenic processes in the fluvial system might have participated in “shredding” the precessional and semi-precessional signals. The alternative scenario is decoupled from high-latitude climate and would imply a muted climate sensitivity of the eastern equatorial Pangea to glaciation. The individual options cannot be evaluated with the Upper Silesian data alone, but offer testable hypotheses, potentially helpful in revealing the short-term structure of glaciation and climate teleconnections during the Late Paleozoic.
