Abstract
- We studied fossil benthic foraminifera in three and seven sediment cores from the Nakdong River delta and of off Fukuoka, respectively, to assess sedimentation along the coasts of the strait between Korea and Japan during the early Holocene. Fossil benthic foraminifera in coarse-grained deposits/sandy sediments from ∼9.4–9.3 ka in cores ND-01 and KND-3 of the Nakdong River delta are characterized by a mixture of shallow-water and offshore species. These data suggest the development of transgressive deposits at ∼9.4–9.3 ka, likely associated with sea-level rise driven by the rapid retreat of glaciers at high latitudes (e.g. Laurentide Ice Sheet). Off Fukuoka, two clusters represent high-energy conditions characterized by common occurrences of attached benthic foraminifera; these clusters became dominant in the upper parts of our study intervals. Such attached species occurred commonly earlier, at around 10 ka, at deep offshore sites (> 60 m water depth) relative to shallow sites (< 60 m water depth). These findings are consistent with the development of current-dominated deposits at deep offshore sites at around 10 ka. Transgressive deposits in the Nakdong River delta and abundant attached species off Fukuoka at around 9 ka likely resulted from sea-level rise along the coasts of the strait between Korea and Japan driven by intermittent enhancement of the Tsushima Warm Current.
