Occurence of marine palynomorphs of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1)
The first core of the Cape Roberts Project, CRP-1, penetrated a Quaternary and lower Miocene section rather than the anticipated Palaeogene sediments. Initial palynologic study... -
Geochemistry on sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1)
The CRP-1 core penetrated 148 m of Quaternary and lower Miocene glacigenic sediments. This material complements the Eocene trhough Miocene strata that was cored previously at... -
Mineral assemblage of basement clasts of sediment core CRP-1
Heavy minerals from the lower Miocene and Quaternary sediments of the CRP-1 drillcore have been investigated in order to characterise the mineralogical composition of the... -
Geochemistry on smectites in sediment cores CRP-1 and CRP-2 from the Ross Sea...
TEM (transmission electron microscopy) observations and microanalyses on smectite microparticles in the sediments of the CRP-2A core were carried out to determine their origin... -
Occurence of macrofossils in the carbonate-rich unit of sediment core CRP-1 (...
Macrofossils are a significant component of biogenic carbonate sediments in the Quaternary section of the CRP-1 drillhole, Cape Roberts, Victoria Land Basin. The middle... -
Carbonate content of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1)
Determinations of total carbonate content yield additional information, in the context of integrated investigations, thus enabling or enhancing the interpretation and... -
Petrographical classification and mineral assemblage of basement clasts from ...
Petrographical and mineral chemistry data are described for the mist representative basement lithologies occurring as clasts (pebble grain-size class) from the CRP-1 drillhole.... -
(Table 1) Detrital modes for sand grains in sediment core CRP-1
Detrital modes for the sand-size fraction in 24 samples from the CRP-1 drillcore are described. Most samples are largely composed of quartzo-feldspathic detritus sourced... -
Rare earth element content of the clay fraction from sediment core CRP-1 (Tab...
TEM observations on smectites and REE analyses on the clay minerals of the sediments of CRP-1 core were carried out to investigate their origin and the source rocks from which... -
Abundance of terrestrial palynomorphs of sediment core CRP-1
Sparse pollen and spores from the lower Miocene section of CRP-1 derive from at least three sources. A low-diversity but persitent angiosperm-moss-liverwort assemblage may... -
Summary of 40Ar/39Ar results from core sediment CRP-1 (Table 1)
40Ar/39Ar dating of volcanic clasts and pumice provide constraints for depositional ages of the CRP-1 core. Laser-fusion analyses of anorthoclase phenocrysts from pumice clasts... -
Selected major elements and trace elements of ferrar dolerite clasts from sed...
One of the objectives of the Cape Roberts Project is to study the tectonic history of the western Ross Sea region. Timing of the uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains, which... -
Analytical results of 19 amino acid analyses from Unit 3.1 of sediment core C...
Amino acid-based geochronological analyses were carried out on fossil mollusc shell and foraminifera from Unit 3.1, Cape Roberts Project core CRP-1. Ratios of D-alloIsoleucine... -
Ice rafted debris distribution in sediment core CRP-1
Lonestone abundances in CRP-1 were investigated using three methods: core examination at Cape Roberts Camp, analysis of digital core images and follow-up core examination. For... -
Petrophysical measurements on core plug samples of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1)
This paper reports measurements of velocity vs pressure and of bulk density, porosity, matrix density, and magnetic susceptibility in 18 core plugs from CRP-1. Comparison of our... -

Mineralogy of sediment core CRP-1
The mineralogy of the lower Miocene and Quaternary sediments of the drillcore CRP-1 (McMurdo Sound, Ross Sea, Antarctica) has been analysed using the X-ray diffraction method.... -
Clay mineralogy of sediment core CRP-1
Clay mineral assemblages in lower Miocene and Quaternary sediments recovered at the CRP-1 drillsite, McMurdo Sound shelf, Antarctica, were analysed in order to reconstruct... -
Physical properties of sediment core CRP-1
The relationship between whole-core compressional wave velocities and gamma-ray attenuation porosities of sediments cored at CRP-1 is examined and compared with results from... -
Grain size analysis on core plugs of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1, 2)
Twenty four core samples from CRP-1, seven from Quaternary strata (20-43.55 meters below sea floor or mbsf) and seventeen from early Miocene strata (43.55 to 147.69 mbsf), have...
