Characteristics and distribution of Neogene turbidites at ODP Site 108-657
Numerous and variable silty-sandy siliciclastic turbidites were observed in Neogene pelagic sediments (late Miocene to Holocene) at Site 657: (1) thick-bedded, coarse-grained... -
Pelagic, turbiditic, and contouritic sequential deposits on the Cape Verde Pl...
On the Cape Verde Plateau, Neogene deposits are composed of major pelagic and hemipelagic sediments. These sediments show climatic sequences composed of two lithologic terms... -
Sedimentological and geochemical characteristics of upper Cretaceous and lowe...
Based on sedimentological and geochemical data, the Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary sequence at Ocean Drilling Program Site 661 was subdivided into four intervals:Interval I... -
Oligocene to Miocene stable isotope record and planktonic foraminifer biostra...
We have integrated Oligocene to lower upper Miocene planktonic foraminifer biostratigraphy with benthic foraminifer (Cibicidoides spp.) stable isotope records for two sites... -
Late Miocene to Holocene planktonic foraminifers from ODP Leg 108 holes
Planktonic foraminifers were examined from 27 holes situated at 12 separate sites in the tropical Atlantic. The sites are located in various environments, including areas of... -
Calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy of ODP Leg 108 sediments
Calcareous nannofossils were examined from the 400 cores recovered at 12 sites during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 108 in the eastern equatorial Atlantic Ocean and along the... -
Biogenic and terrigeneous components in ODP Leg 108 holes
Five Ocean Drilling Program sites (657-661), which form a north-south transect off the western periphery of the Sahara, were selected to measure the long-term history of... -
Biogenic and terrigeneous components in Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments of the...
High-resolution analyses of sediments at equatorial Atlantic Sites 662, 663, and 664 define the accumulation rates of biogenically produced CaC03 and opal and of eolian dust... -
Sea surface temperature reconstruction for ODP Site 108-662
The record of planktonic foraminifer abundances at Site 662 during the late Pliocene (~1.7-2.1 Ma) was examined to determine variations in estimated sea-surface temperature... -
Stable isotope record of ODP Sites 108-658 and 108-659
Ocean Drilling Program Site 658, cored below a major upwelling cell offshore Cap Blanc, contains a largely undisturbed hemipelagic sediment section spanning the Brunhes Chron... -
Age models of upper Pliocene samples of the North Atlantic
Abundance variations of six Pliocene species of discoasters have been analyzed over the time interval from 1.89 to 2.95 Ma at five contrasting sites in the North Atlantic: Deep... -
Benthic foraminifera extinction at the base of the Brunhes Chronozone at ODP ...
A faunal boundary found at the base of the Brunhes Chronozone at Sites 658 and 659 confirms previous observations from several locations in the Atlantic Ocean and may be... -
Calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy of ODP Hole 108-667A and DSDP Site 85-574
Detailed quantitative analyses of selected calcareous nannofossil species were used to determine the placement of zonal boundaries. In Hole 667A in the equatorial Atlantic... -
Silicoflagellates in ODP Leg 108 holes
The occurrence of Cenozoic silicoflagellates at three Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Holes (660A, 662A, and 667A) was investigated to determine biostratigraphic and relative... -
Stable carbon and oxygen isotope record of Cibicidoides from DSDP/ODP holes
High-resolution delta18O records from the equatorial Pacific (site 503B), equatorial Atlantic (site 665A), and North Atlantic (site 606A) based on the benthic foraminifera... -
Organic carbon accumulation in the equatorial Atlantic
Organic geochemical records of the last 940 kyr are presented for equatorial Atlantic Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) sites 663 and 664 and discussed with regard to the development... -
