Abstract

DSDP Site 548 on Goban Spur has been investigated using high-resolution single channel sparker reflection seismic data. Alongslope bottom currents are thought to be the driving mechanism for large-scale sediment waves development. These currents are driven on their turn by an enhanced internal tide regime that could be attributed to the MOW introduction, which characterized the presence of a strong pycnal gradient. The integration of the seismic stratigraphy with the DSDP Site 548 downhole geophysical data allowed the proposition of a better chronostratigraphic and lithostratigraphic correlation. The early to late Pliocene sequence (from ~4.2 to ~2.7Ma) shows no morphological evidence of bottom current driven sedimentation. However, from the late Pliocene (i.e. ~2.7Ma) to present, large-scale sediment waves have gradually developed in close association with palaeo-seafloor irregularities, inferring that sedimentation resumed with a marked large bottom current energy increase. The late Pliocene and the middle Pleistocene units contain mass wasting intervals. Although the Goban Spur sediment waves cannot be regarded as a contourite drift as such, the stratigraphic evolution shows striking similarities to well-documented MOW induced contourite drift systems along the northeast Atlantic margin, more especially as an intermediate site between le Danois bank and the Porcupine Seabight.
