Abstract

• Rock samples dredged offshore the Pontine Archipelago (400-2000 m water depth) were studied by paleontological analyses of planktic foraminifera and endo-epilithozoan faunas colonising Fe-Mn crusts and by petrographic analyses of volcanic samples. Paleontological and petrographic analyses have revealed a complex Plio-Pleistocene depositional history controlled by hemipelagic sedimentation and volcanic activity with episodic non-depositional phases. The sedimentary deposits are associated with ferromanganese hardgrounds, more or less colonised by endolithic and epilithozoan organisms. The presence of foraminifera typical of tropical and subtropical waters (such as Globigerinoides ruber, Globigerinoides trilobus, Pulleniatina obliquiloculata and Sphaeroidinella dehiscens) indicates that the micritic deposition occurred during warm climatic periods, whilst micrite cementation and hardground formation are here attributed to colder climates. The depositional processes recognised on the Pontine continental slope reveal a sediment-starved condition that locally resemble those of seamount environment. The slope sedimentation found in the Pontine Archipelago can be helpful in the interpretation of ancient deposits from seamounts and continental slope depositional environments, characterised by hardground and hiatuses.
