The occurrence of Cenozoic silicoflagellates at three Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Holes (660A, 662A, and 667A) was investigated to determine biostratigraphic and relative paleotemperature relations in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. This report presents the data obtained from a study of 37 samples and some preliminary comments on the data. The age of the single sparse assemblage at Hole 660A is late middle Eocene or late Eocene (Dictyocha hexacantha Zone); the sparse to common assemblages of Hole 667A are Oligocene and early Miocene and the common to abundant assemblages of Hole 662A are early Pliocene to Quaternary. Dissolution thinning of silicoflagellates is noted in most samples, even in Hole 662A, which is under the present productive Benguela Current.
