(Table 2) Relative abundance and occurence for selected siliceous microfossil...
r = Reworked: rare occurence of a taxon noted and interpreted as reworked; fr = Fragment: rare fragment(s) of the taxon present; X = Present: complete specimens rare (=< 1... -
(Table 1) Stratigraphical distribution of Cenozoic terrestrial palynomorphs f...
Sparse low diversity early Oligocene spore-pollen assemblages above c. 410 mbsf (meters blow sea floor) in CRP-3 are dominated by Nothofagus pollen, and are very similar in... -
(Table 1) Distribution and numerical abundance of foraminifera of sediment co...
A foraminiferal fauna comprising c. 33 genera and c. 53 species was recovered from a suite of 156 Lower Oligocene sediment samples, mostly muddy sandstone and siltstone,... -
(Table 1) Major and trace elements of sediment core CRP-3
The CRP-3 core, drilled in western McMurdo Sound in October and November 1999, penetrated 823 m of lower Oligocene (to possibly upper Eocene) glacially influenced sediments. The... -
(Table 2) Apatite fission track results from sediment core CRP-3
The Cape Roberts drillhole 3 (CRP-3) on the western edge of the Victoria Land Basin, Antarctica cored through a highly altered igneous intrusion intruded into Paleozoic... -
(Table 1) Average composition of smectites of sediment core CRP-3
The aim of this work is to evaluate the origin of smectites in sediments of CRP-3 core (Victoria Land Basin, Antarctica), through TEM observations and microanalyses on smectite... -
(Table 1) Detrital modes for sand grains in sediment core CRP-3
Detrital modes determined on 68 sandstone samples from CRP-3 drillcore indicate a continuation of the dynamic history of uplift-related erosion and unroofing previously... -
(Table 1) Range chart of calcareous nannofossils in samples of sediment core ...
Fossil specimens of the exclusively oceanic calcareous nannoplankton were found only in the upper 200 m of the Cape Roberts Project 3 (CRP-3) cores. These assemblages are... -
(Table 1) Description of grain size, cement, and matrix in sediment core CRP-...
The presence of authigenic smectite in the lower Oligocene sandstones of the Cape Roberts Project core CRP-3 from the Victoria Land Basin of Antarctica is confirmed by scanning... -
(Table 1) Core intervals of sediment core CRP-3 that have been stitched and r...
CRP-3 cores were not orientated with respect to North during coring operations. However, borehole televiewer (BHTV) logging did obtain azimuthally orientated images of the... -
(Table 1) Strontium isotope data for marine carbonates of sediment core CRP-3
Strontium isotope stratigraphy was used to date 5 discrete horizons within the CRP-3 drillhole. A single in situ modiolid bivalve fragment at 10.88 mbsf gives an age of 30.9... -
(Appendix 1) Carbonate content in relation to sediment type described for sed...
Determinations of total carbonate contents in the CRP-3 core yield additional information and knowledge, in the context of integrated investigations, thus enabling or enhancing... -
(Table 1) Geochemical analysis on sediment core CRP-3
Sediments and rocks recovered in CRP-3 coring operations contain minute amounts of organic matter (average 0.3% TOC). TOC contents and C:N ratios are zoned systematically: those... -
Clay and smectite content in sediment core CRP-3
The Cenozoic sediments of the CRP-3 drill core from the continental shelf of McMurdo Sound in Ross Sea, Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean, have been investigated for their... -
Smoothed abundance of bulk mineralogy in the Cenozoic sediments of core CRP-3
The mineralogy of the lower Oligocene (to possibly upper Eocene) sediments of core CRP-3 drilled on the continental shelf of McMurdo Sound in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, has been... -
Physical properties of sediment core CRP-3
Drillhole CRP-3 in northern McMurdo Sound (Ross Sea, Antarctica) targeted the western margin of the Victoria Land basin to investigate Neogene to Palaeogene climate and tectonic... -
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... -
Preliminiary results and documentation of sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross S...
The site for CRP-3, 12 km east of Cape Roberts (77.006°S; 103.719°E)was selecte to overlap the lower Oligocene strata cored in nearby CRP-2/2A, and to sample the oldest strata... -
Chronostratigraphy of sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
An 823 m thick glaciomarine Cenozoic section sitting unconformably on the Lower Devonian Beacon Supergroup was recovered in CRP-3. This paper reviews the chronostratigraphical...
