INVESTIGATION

Topics: carbonate petrology, sedimentology; paleoecology; basin sedimentation, bioconstruction, microbialites, microbial mats

Main currents thematic:

– Impact of the carbonate deposits on climatic changes: example of the northern margin of Gondwana during the Late Ordovician previous to the onset of the Hirnantian glaciation.

– Ecological changes and characterization of the carbonate factory evolution through the Permo-Trias transition recorded in Iranian carbonate platforms and fracturation in Permian reef-mounds (Russia).

– Analysis of climatic changes and paleotemperature estimation during the Lower Cretaceous; relationships between calcifying organisms and climate during the Early Cretaceous: example on carbonate platform during the Valanginian and Aptian.

– Ecologic, geometric and sedimentologic changes in mixed evaporite-cabonate and siliciclastic platforms on the Neogene’s basin of south Spain.

More recently new topics are developed :

Microbially-induced mineralization is considered as one of the main natural processes controlling CO₂ levels in the atmosphere and a major structural and ecological player in the modern and in the past ecosystems. The result of this process is the formation of « biological » microbial deposits. Microbialites (organo-sedimentary structure predominantly accreted by sediment trapping, binding, and/or in situ precipitation as a result of the growth and metabolic activity of microorganisms) are found throughout the geological record and are biosignatures of the early Earth and in the search for extraterrestrial life. The oldest preserved fossil stromatolites in the geological record are about 3.4 billion years old and have been found in Western Australia and Canada. In modern natural systems, biological carbonates precipitation occurs in different forms, fabrics and in different environments (saline lagons, hypersaline, alkaline lakes, freshwater rivers and lakes). The study of mechanisms of microbialite formation at different scales (km until nm) is critical for interpretation and understanding their origin and evaluation. This multi-scale approach concerns: (1) macro-scale(tectonics, climate); (2) meso-scale (hydrothermal circulation, water chemistry); (2) micro-scale (microbial – mineral interaction, mineralogy/morphology of carbonates). Two fieldworks are chosen: modern (Great Salt Lake, USA and Cuba) and ancient (Precambrian of Gabon in Africa, Trias of Utah in USA and Oligo-Miocene basin of Limagnes, France) microbialites. The results can help to answer important questions about i) carbonate formations in past (geological context) and present time (biogeochemical cycle and context of CO₂ storage); ii) Preservation in the fossil record of mineralization processes.

A first detailed analysis helped to better constrain the mechanisms of formation of the microbial deposits. Microbialite is the result of mineralization and lithification of a microbial mat under the influence of a metabolic component (intrinsic) related to the activity of the microbial mat first, and environmental (extrinsic) conditions. Although the component related to the metabolic activity of microbial mat is a prerequisite for mineralization, this work focused on the environmental component and the associated controlling factors. Furthermore, the influence of extrinsic factors is often limited in the literature to changes in microbial communities. The aim of this manuscript is to replace microbial deposits in their context of formation. It allows to understand the direct implications of the extrinsic parameters on (1) the processes of mineralization of the microbial mats and formation of microbialites, (2) the morphologies of microbial structures, (3) the distribution and (4) the relationship between microbial mats and microbialite and their environment. While the mineralization potential is generally associated with the intrinsic activity of the microbial mat, the lateral and temporal variations of this potential within a same microbial mat were used to illustrate the influence of extrinsic parameters on mineralization, and therefore on the formation of microbialites. However, a significant mineralization potential does not necessarily mean microbialite formation. The preservation of the mineralization product is necessary for lithifying a microbial mat. The process of lithification is a major driver for the preservation of these microbial structures in the fossil record. Moreover, indirect evidences of microbial activity may also be retained by a geochemical signal.
