Modal analyses of thin-sections of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1)
During the course of the 1997 drilling campaign, lithostratigraphic boundaries were assigned to the CRP-l core on the basis of perceived changes in lithology. The geologically... -
Miocene siliceous microfossil occurence of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 3)
Lower Miocene diatoms and other siliceous microfossils in the Cape Robcrts Project drillcore (CRP-l), Roberts Ridge, western McMurdo Sound, are documented. Diatom... -
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... -
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... -
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.... -
Marine palynomorph abundance estimates of sediment core CRP-2A (Fig. 2)
A diverse assemblage of marine palynomorphs was recovered from the Oligocene - Miocene section of CRP-2/2A. Most of the assemblage is composed of previously unrecognised... -
(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... -
Distribution of foraminifera, pre-Pliocene foraminifera and macrofossil debri...
The stratigraphic distribution, assemblage content, paleoecology and age of foraminifera recovered in fourteen of sixteen samples from the 5.63 m thick CRP-2 (Lithostratigraphic... -
Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) abundances, age-depth tie points ...
This data publication contains biostratigraphic age events for the CIROS-1 drill core, updated age ranges for a suite of samples from the McMurdo erratics sample collection,... -
Age tie points and geochemistry of sediment cores from the Antarctic continen...
Few high-latitude terrestrial records document the timing and nature of the Cenozoic "Greenhouse" to "Icehouse" transition. Here we exploit the bulk geochemistry of marine... -

Quarternary diatom abundance of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 2)
Numbers represent occurence in a count of 300 valves. <1 = whole specimens observed in sample but not recorded in initial count of 300 valves. <0.1 = identifiable... -

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... -
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... -

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... -

Range chart of calcareous nannofossils in sediment core CRP-2A (Table 1)
Rare calcareous nannofossils from the Cape Roberts Project drillhole CRP-2A indicate that this area was episodically invaded by marginal oceanic surface waters during the late...
