Late Cenozoic cooling favored glacial over tectonic controls on sediment supply to the western Gulf of Mexico

Terrigenous marine sediment records the landscape response to climate and tectonic perturbations. Here, we determined the source of Miocene-Pleistocene debris in the western Gulf of Mexico (WGOM) to understand changes in sediment supply during a greenhouse-glacial transition. Sediment composition at...

description Terrigenous marine sediment records the landscape response to climate and tectonic perturbations. Here, we determined the source of Miocene-Pleistocene debris in the western Gulf of Mexico (WGOM) to understand changes in sediment supply during a greenhouse-glacial transition. Sediment composition at Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Sites 3, 87, and 89-91 shows a reversal in provenance following the onset of Pleistocene glaciation. During Miocene time, sediment was supplied to the deep WGOM from tectonically active, tropical highlands of southern Mexico, accumulating as sediment-gravity-flow deposits across broad deep-water fan systems. Then, following the mid-Pleistocene transition (ca. 0.7 Ma), the WGOM saw sustained (105 yr) influx of sediment from the north due to glacial erosion, high discharge, and expanded drainages across the Mississippi catchment. This major provenance shift points to the importance of glacial controls on marine sediment supply during late Cenozoic cooling.
