The present study provides the baseline status of the spatial distribution of carbonate platforms for the Oligo-Miocene interval. The resulting global trend quantitatively shows the decreasing growth potential of shallow-marine carbonates toward higher paleolatitudes. Such a global trend provides a geological context and external constraints for local and regional interpretations of specific case studies. Furthermore, the direct relationship between carbonate accumulations and paleoclimatic regions shows that, using such a qualitative and quantitative data set for calibration, paleoceanographic models could be utilized for the prediction of the global distribution of carbonate stratigraphic architecture.

Abstract
The present study provides the baseline status of the spatial distribution of carbonate platforms for the Oligo-Miocene interval. The resulting global trend quantitatively shows the decreasing growth potential of shallow-marine carbonates toward higher paleolatitudes. Such a global trend provides a geological context and external constraints for local and regional interpretations of specific case studies. Furthermore, the direct relationship between carbonate accumulations and paleoclimatic regions shows that, using such a qualitative and quantitative data set for calibration, paleoceanographic models could be utilized for the prediction of the global distribution of carbonate stratigraphic architecture.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
