14. Oligocene to Recent Calcareous Nannoplankton from the Philippine Sea, Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 59
نویسنده
چکیده
During Leg 59 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, five sites (447 to 451) were occupied and seven holes drilled between Okinawa and Guam in the Philippine Sea (Fig. 1). All holes except Hole 447 yielded common calcareous nannoplankton at certain intervals cored. Nannoplankton assemblages and their age assignments will be discussed for each site, and fossil lists for selected samples from Holes 447A, 448, 450, and 451 are presented in Tables 1 to 4, covering the middle Oligocene to the Quaternary.

17. Iron-rich Sediments Cored during Leg 8 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project
A sequence of amorphous iron r>xide-rich sediments, interbedded with iron-free calcareous nannoplankton oozes, occurs in the basal zones of Sites 74 and 75 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, immediately overlying basalt. These sediments have affinities with iron and manganeserich sediments previously described from the crest of the East Pacific Rise. It is considered most likely that this sedime...
متن کاملMagnetostratigraphic calibration of Eocene^Oligocene dino£agellate cyst biostratigraphy from the Norwegian^Greenland Sea1
The presence of abundant age-diagnostic dinoflagellate cysts in Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Hole 913B (Leg 151), Deep Sea Drilling Project Hole 338 (Leg 38) and ODP Hole 643A (Leg 104) has enabled the development of a new biostratigraphy for the Eocene^Oligocene interval in the Norwegian^Greenland Sea. This development is important because the calcareous microfossils usually used for biostrati...
متن کامل24. Late Paleogene and Early Neogene Foraminifers of Deep Sea Drilling Project Site 270, Ross Sea, Antarctica
Foraminifers from the upper Oligocene, lower Miocene, and Pleistocene at Site 270 in the southern Ross Sea, Antarctica, are discussed and illustrated. The total fauna comprises 74 genera and 163 species. A small number of taxa are recycled from Cretaceous and older Paleogene sediments. Four assemblage zones are proposed, the age of informal lithologic units discussed, and potentially important ...
متن کاملMagnetostratigraphic chronology of a late Eocene to early Miocene glacimarine succession from the Victoria Land Basin, Ross Sea, Antarctica
Drilling offshore from Cape Roberts, Antarctica, has enabled recovery of a 1472-m cumulative record of late Eocene–early Miocene history of sedimentary basin development and climate change in the Western Ross Sea. In this paper, we synthesize the results of palaeomagnetic analyses carried out on the CRP-1, CRP-2 and CRP-3 sediment cores, and present a chronology for the recovered Eocene–Miocene...

Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 75 drilled into igneous basement in the Angola Basin at Site 530, located about 20 km north of the escarpment at the eastern end of the Walvis Ridge. Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of the basalts indicate that the basement is quite uniform, variations in chemical composition being related to weathering, crystal fractionation, and the modal abundances ...
