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 cores CRP2 and CRP-2A from ...
The site for CRP-2, 14 km east of Cape Roberts (77.006°S; 163.719°E), was selected to overlap the early Miocene strata cored in nearby CRP-1, and to sample deeper into the... -
Geochemistry of minerals in CRP sediment cores from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
Sixty-four volcanic chists, sandstones and tephras between 5.95 and 618.19 meters below sea floor (mbsf) in the Cape Roberts Project cores 2 and 2A cores (CRP-2/2A) were... -
Stable isotope ratios measured on molluscan from the CRP sediment cores in th...
Stable isotope analyses of marine bivalve growth increment samples have been used to estimate early Oligocene (29.4 - 31.2) Ma and early Miocene (24.0 Ma) seafloor... -
Distribution of phytolithes in CRP sediment cores from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
Phytoliths (siliceous plant microfossils) have been recovered from Cenozoic sediments (c. 34 to 17 Ma) in the CRP-2/2A and CRP-3 drillholes cored off Cape Roberts, Victoria Land... -
Ostracoda in sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
A total of eighteen species of marine ostracods, in at least twelve genera, have been recovered from Early and Late Oligocene glacio-marine sediments from boreholes CRP-3 and... -
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 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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
Environmental analysis on sediment core CRP-2 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
Cape Roberts Project drill core 2/2A was obtained from Roberts Ridge, a sea-floor high located at 77° S, 16 km offshore from Cape Roberts in western McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.... -
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...
