Diagenetic alteration of benthic foraminifera from a methane seep site on Vestnesa Ridge (NW Svalbard)

We investigated methane-derived authigenic carbonate (MDAC) crusts and nodules from a cold seep site 22.. on the northern Norwegian continental shelf

The method used for this study was analyses of benthic foraminifera, analyses of heavy metal concentrations, total organic carbon (TOC) and grain size distribution in

Abundance of five dominant benthic foraminifera species (in %) in core JM10-02GC from the southern Yermak Plateau on the north-western Svalbard margin and in core HH11-09GC from

The extremely light foraminiferal calcite d 13 C values in sediments close to the GHSZ limit (Figure 3) clearly indicate that both benthic and planktonic foraminifera record

This distribibution pattern resembles most other Holocene records from the Svalbard and Barents Sea area (e.g Lubinski et al., 1996; Hald et al.,1999; Duplessy et
