Downcore Distribution of Holocene Foraminifera in the Jhuoshuei River Delta

Yang, Chun-Chih 01 August 2012 (has links)
Two drilled cores were collected from the Jhuoshuei River delta for this study, which is focused on the analyses of sedimentological, statistical analysis, AMS C14 dating and paleoenvironment interpretation based on the benthic foraminiferal fossils. Foraminiferal shell do not exist between 30000 and 12000 yr B.P., indicating the environment of this sections might be terrestrial. Between 12000 and 8000 yr B.P., the southern core do not have traces of foraminifera, suggesting the deposition site was terrestrial. The northern core contains the benthic foraminiferal shell between 12000 and 9000 yr B.P. The foraminiferal assemblage indicates the sedimentation might be a inner shelf like enviroment. An estuarine like environment was suggested between 9000 and 8000 yr B.P.. Between 8000 and 6000 yr B.P., foraminiferal cluster analysis indicates a middle to inner shelf environment at the southern core site; a inner shelf at the northern core. From 6000 to 3000 yr B.P., foraminiferal cluster analysis indicates a inner shelf at the south core while northern core foraminifera became fewer and the environment gradually changing to terrestrial facies. From 3000 yr B.P. upwards, foraminiferal cluster analysis indicates a shallower inner shelf at the southern core. From 2000 yr B.P. to today, the southern core changed to terrestrial.
