The Cape Roberts Project was successfully completed in the austral spring of 1999 with drilling of the 939.42-m CRP-3 drillhole, located 2-km west of the CRP-2/2A drillhole. The CRP-3 core comprises a 790-m Cenozoic (glacio-) marine sequence separated from underlying Devonian basement rocks by a c. 30-mthick dolerite conglomerate of undetermined age. Here, we present the results of a palaeomagn...

BACKGROUND Discovered on the southern margin of the North Sea Basin, "Phoca" vitulinoides represents one of the best-known extinct species of Phocidae. However, little attention has been given to the species ever since its original 19th century description. Newly discovered material, including the most complete specimen of fossil Phocidae from the North Sea Basin, prompted the redescription of ...

The Mesozoic, mid-Cretaceous (Barremian to Cenomanian) deposits of southern Croatia comprise a succession of shallow tropical-water, inner-platform deposits that formed on a Bahama-type isolated Adriatic carbonate platform in the Dinarides. This succession is dominated by benthic foraminifers and dasycladalean algae, and is exposed in a nearly continuous outcrop section on the islands and along...

The long-term goal of this project is to understand the patterns and timing of latest Pleistocene sedimentation in the Geoclutter area of the NJ margin. Paleoenvironmental reconstructions of the study area were developed using benthic foraminifera and sediment texture analyses of drill cores obtained in Fall 2002 using the ACHC-800 from the RV Knorr. This award was extended through October 31, ...
