Dense mineral distribution in the northwestern Arabian Sea: insights into sediment provenance and paleoclimate

The dense minerals (often called heavy minerals, density of more than 2.89 g/cm 3 ) of northwestern Arabian Sea are studied to understand their provenance and implications to paleoclimates during the last 150 kyrs. Two cores: 723A (latitude 18°03.079′N and longitude 57°36.561′E; 808 m water depth) a...

description The dense minerals (often called heavy minerals, density of more than 2.89 g/cm 3 ) of northwestern Arabian Sea are studied to understand their provenance and implications to paleoclimates during the last 150 kyrs. Two cores: 723A (latitude 18°03.079′N and longitude 57°36.561′E; 808 m water depth) and 722B (latitude16°37.312′N and longitude 59°47.755′E; water depth 2028 m) away from the eastern coastline of Arabian Peninsula are taken. The total carbonate, acid insoluble residue, volume magnetic susceptibility and oxygen isotope data are used to correlate paleoenvironmental changes. A few elemental chemistry of core 722B is also used to understand source rock weathering characteristics. Ilmenite and magnetite are occurring as dominant opaque minerals in both the core sites. The shallower site 723A predominantly consists of hornblende, apatite, fluorite, epidote and chlorite; whereas, the deeper site 722B consists of epidote, fluorite, biotite, apatite and staurolite. The other important heavy minerals found in core sites are tourmaline, rutile, garnet, zircon, chloritoid, kyanite, sillimanite and pyroxenes. Low ZTR indices (
