Abstract Details

1985, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Geological Sciences.
A well preserved late Miocene to middle Pliocene foraminiferal fauna was recovered from material collected from the lower parts of DTDP Sites 10 and 11. Five assemblage zones have been established for DTDP 10 and 11. Moderate water depth (600-1000 m) and gradual shallowing is interpreted for this Late Neogene sequence. Faunal occurrences and barren intervals have led to the erection of Ecologic Units for the DTDP sequence. These Ecologic Units represent periods of fluctuations in water mass properties related to oscillating sea-ice conditions. This indicates a period of intense glacial/interglacial, tectonic and sea-level interplay for the Late Neogene Ross Sea Sector.
