摘要

Abstract

Detailed mineral magnetic measurements

integrated with grain-size distribution and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses

were made on the marine sediments of Core MD98-2172

retrieved from the Eastern Timor Sea. Values of magnetic susceptibility in this core drop sharply down-core from ∼3.85 m deep below sediment/water interface and are very low at ∼5.35 m. However

both XRD and grain-size distribution results show no sudden change in terrigenous input during sedimentation. Mineral magnetic results indicate that the depth of ∼3.85 m may be an oxic/anoxic boundary. Therefore

the sediments below ∼3.85 m have been subjected to intense reductive diagenesis

whereas the sediments above ∼3.85 m are seldom affected. The magnetic properties of the sediments shallower than 3.85 m are dominated by pseudo-single domain (PSD) magnetite

with little down-core variation in its content and grain size. Below ∼3.85 m

the magnetic mineral assemblages that have survived in the sediments may record different stages of the reductive diagenesis: (1) the sediments from the 3.85–5.35 m interval are at the stage of iron oxide reduction; PSD magnetite is the major magnetic contributor

but it becomes less abundant and coarser down-core; (2) the sediments below ∼5.35 m are at the stage of sulphate reduction; ferrimagnetic minerals almost vanish and paramagnetic minerals contribute to down-core susceptibility variations

including pyrite as evidenced by high-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. However

the susceptibility variations below ∼5.35 m of Core MD98-2172 show obvious periodicity

despite the intense effect of reductive diagenesis. Furthermore

the down-core susceptibility variations are coincident with fluctuations in the quantity of fine detrital particles (<8 μm)

which may come mainly from the advection of the Indonesia Throughflow (ITF) and/or river input from Timor. Therefore

for Core MD98-2172

susceptibility variation below ∼5.35 m

which potentially correspond to fluctuations in the quantity of fine particles

may record the histories of the development of the ITF and precipitation on Timor.
