Abstract:Calcareous nannofossils are generally abundant at the Queensland Trough transect sites (811 and 819 through 825) of Leg 133, and they provide the primary means of dating the Neogene sediments. Sites 819 through 821 to the east of the Great Barrier Reef yielded abundant, moderately preserved Pleistocene nannofossils. The sections are biostratigraphically complete, except for a very condensed interval or a hiatus in the middle Pleistocene section at Site 819. A similar hiatus has been identified at Site 822, whe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
