Biomarker records of DSDP Hole 24-231 and terrestrial sediments

ntegrated terrestrial and marine records of northeast African vegetation are needed to provide long high resolution records of environmental variability with established links...

Eocene-Oligocene diatoms in the western Indian Ocean

The occurrence of diatom species in the Eocene-Oligocene sections of Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 115 sites and Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Sites 219 and 236 in the...

Occurrence of hiatuses PH and NH 1 through NH 7 in DSDP holes

Miocene paleoceanographic evolution exhibits major changes resulting from the opening and closing of passages, the subsequent changes in oceanic circulation, and development of...

Lithology of sediments from the Arabian Sea

The role of hotter than ambient plume mantle in the formation of a rifted volcanic margin in the northern Arabian Sea is investigated using subsidence analysis of a drill site...

Uranium in marine basalts

The uranium content of glass from chilled margins of oceanic tholeiitic basalt flows is generally <0.1 ppm, even for old samples with highly altered crystalline interiors....

Uranium chemistry of oceanic basalts

Measurements of uranium concentration and the 234U/238 U activity ratio in oceanic basalts which have undergone low-temperature seafloor alteration indicate that uranium uptake...

Magnetic properties of Cenozoic MORB and Cretaceous MORB from DSDP and ODP holes

The fact that the natural remanent magnetization (NRM) intensity of mid-oceanic-ridge basalt (MORB) samples shows systematic variations as a function of age has long been...

Chemical composition of ocean floor tholeiites and MORB glasses from DSDP Hol...

Seven well-documented and fresh glassy selvages from ocean floor basalt pillows were analyzed by radiochemical neutron activation analysis for Ag, Au, Bi, Br, Cd, Cs, Ge, In,...

Age models and stable isotope ratios from the Mid-Miocene

Mid-Miocene pelagic sedimentary sections can be correlated using intermediate and high resolution oxygen and carbon isotopic records of benthic foraminifera. Precision of a few...

Late Cretaceous-Early Neogene oxygen and carbon isotope record of the Indian ...

Stable isotopic data of calcareous nannofossil, monogeneric and monospecific planktic and benthic foraminifera from five Indian Ocean DSDP sites (212, 217, 220, 237, and 253),...

Noelaerhabdaceae coccolith length (mean, 5th percentile and 95th percentile) ...

This dataset contains the data plotted in Figure 5 of the review paper Coccoliths as Recorders of Paleoceanography and Paleoclimate over the Past 66 Million Years by Bolton...

Distribution of benthic foraminifera in DSDP Hole 24-238 in the Central India...

Deep-sea benthic foraminifera have been quantitatively analyzed in samples (>125 µm size fraction) from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 238, to understand paleoceanographic...

Stable isotope ratios of benthic and planktonic foraminifera from Late Miocen...

Tropical Indian Ocean planktonic and benthic foraminifera have 13C/12C ratios which change abruptly within Magnetic Epoch 6 about 6.2 million years ago. All species analyzed in...

Chemical analyses of manganese nodules and crusts from the Indian, Atlantic a...

Ferromanganese nodules and encrustations have been analysed for Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, Ca and Al by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The preparation of...
