Clay mineralogy of Cape Roberts sediment cores
The clay mineral assemblages of the ca. 1600 m thick Cenozoic sedimentary succession recovered at the CRP-1, CRP-2/2A and CRP-3 drill sites off Cape Roberts on the McMurdo Sound... -
Abundance of ostracoda in sediment cores CRP-1 and CRP-2
Sparse, poorly preserved late Oligocene (3 species) and early Miocene (4 species) ostracod faunas have been recovered from CRP-2A, while relatively more abundant Quaternary... -
Preliminary results and documentation of sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross Se...
The first hole of the Cape Roberts Project, CRP-1, was drilled in October, 1997, to a depth of 148 metres below the sea floor (mbsf) before being terminated unexpectedly 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... -
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...
