| Abstract |
Astronomical insolation forcing plays an important role in pacing Earth's climate history, including paleoclimate dynamics, and its imprint can be seen in various geoarchives. Its signature is often evident through typical rhythmic patterns in sediments. The detailed study of those patterns led to a better understanding of orbital climate forcing, while also providing more precise constraints on the geological time scale. Due to the tidal evolution in the Earth-Moon system, the precession and obliquity periods get shorter when going back in time while the main eccentricity 405 kyr period remains stable. While several astrophysical models describe the evolution of the length of precession-and obliquity cycles, few reliable and quantitative geological information from tidalites and astrochronology are available. To better constrain these key astronomical parameters in the distant past, we calculate precession and obliquity properties for the Devonian (similar to 420-360 million years before present) as reconstructed from a suite of geological datasets. Our results show the period of precession to be 19.4-16.1 kyr, and the dominant p+s3 obliquity period to be 29.50 +/- 0.46 long. These findings are compared with and support the presence of oceanic tidal resonances at 300 and 540 Ma, as shown in the recent AstroGeo22 model of the Earth-Moon evolution of (Farhat et al., 2022). |
