Petrophysical investigation on sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica

A suite of petrophysical properties - velocity, resistivity, bulk density, porosity, and matrix density - was measured on 88 core plugs from the CRP-3 drillhole. Core-plug bulk...

Chronostratigraphy on sediment core CRP-2 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica

Strontium isotope stratigraphy was used to date 16 discrete horizons within the CRP-2/2A drillhole. Reworked Quaternary (<1.7 Ma) and possible Pliocene (<2.4 Ma) sediments...

Geochemical analysis of minerals from sediment core CRP-2 in the Ross Sea, An...

Distribution patterns, petrography, whole-rock and mineral chemistry, and shape and fabric data are described for the most representative basement lithologies occurring as...

Investigation of microfossils on sediment core CRP-2 from the Ross Sea, Antar...

Marine diatoms are the primary biostratigraphical and paleoenvironmental tool for interpreting the upper Palaeogene and lower Neogene strata recovered during the second drilling...

Grain size analysis of sediment coring site CRP-2 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica

The purpose of this note is to present results of grain size analyses from 118 samples of the CRP-2/2A core using sieve and Sedigraph techniques. The samples were selected to...

Petrophysical investigations on sediment core CRP-2A from the Ross Sea, Antar...

A suite of petropysical measurements - velocity versus pressure, bulk density, porosity, matrix density, and magnetic susceptibility -was undertaken on 63 core plugs from...

Age determination with strontium isotopes on sediment core CRP-1 from the Ros...

Strontium isotope stratigraphy was used to date five discrete horizons within CRP-1. Early and late Quaternary (0.87-1.3 Ma and 0-0.67 Ma respectively) age sediments overlie a...

Investigation of diagenesis in sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica

A diagenetic study was carried out on the cored Miocene section in CRP-1 by thin-section, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, electron microprobe and stable...

Geochemical investigations of elements in sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross S...

Geochemical data are presented for samples from strata, mainly of Miocene age, in the Cape Roberts-1 core (western McMurdo Sound, Antarctica) to assess the sediment provenance....

Investigation of Miocene foraminifera in sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross Se...

A faunal comprising 18 foraminiferal taxa wa recovered from a suite of 52 core samples from lower Miocene sandstone, claystone and diamictite in the CRP-1 drillhole, Cape...

Investigation of Pliocene foraminifera on sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross S...

Mixed assemblages of Pliocene and Quaternary foraminifera occur within the Quaternary succession of the CRP-1 drillhole. Pliocene foraminifera are not present in the lowermost...

Investigation of Quaternary foraminifera in sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross...

Foraminifera are examined in twenty-six samples from a 44 metre succession of Quaternary glacial sediments recovered from the CRP-1 drillhole on Roberts Ridge, southwestern Ross...

Investigation of Quaternary diatoms in sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross Sea,...

In the first season of drilling, the Cape Roberts Project (CRP) recovered one drillcore (CRP-l) from Roberts Ridge in western McMurdo Sound, Ross Sea, Antarctica Diatom...

Geochemistry of bulk samples and various minerals of sediment core CRP-1 from...

Thirty-nine medium and fine grained sandstones from between 19,26 and 147,23 mbsf in the Cape Roberts-l core (CRP-1) were analysed for 10 major and 16 trace elements. Using...

Bedding dip data from core site CRP-3 in Victoria Land, Antarctica

Bedding dips in the CRP-3 drillhole were determined in three ways: (1) analysis of a dipmeter log, (2) identification of bed boundaries on borehole televiewer log images, and...
