Biostratigraphy of sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica

Early Oligocene siliceous microfossils were recovered in the upper c. 193 m of the CRP-3 drillcore. Although abundance and preservation are highly variable through this section,...

Facies distribution in CRP sediment cores from the Ross Sea, Antarctica

Clasts from the Cape Roberts Project cores CRP-2/2A and CRP-3 provide indications of glacially influenced depositional environments in Oligocene and Miocene strata in the...

Grain size analysis of sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica

Grain-size analyses by sieve and Sedigraph are presented for 115 samples of core from CRP-3, 12 km off the coast of south Victoria Land. The data provide a useful check on...

Grain size analysis on CRP sediment cores from the Ross Sea, Antarctica

The upper 1200 m of pre-Pliocene sediment recovered by Cape Roberts Project (CRP) drilling off the Victoria Land coast of Antarctica between 1997-1999 has been subdivided into...

Facies investigations on sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica

The Cenozoic Victoria Land Basin (VLB) stratigraphic section penetrated by CRP-3 is mostly of Early Oligocene age. It contains an array of lithofacies comprising fine-grained...

Geophysical logging on sediment core and hole CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarc...

Cape Roberts drillhole CRP-3 in the northern part of McMurdo Sound (Ross Sea, Antarctica) targeted the western margin of the Victoria Land basin to investigate Neogene to...

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...

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...
