Description:
Mesozoic benthic foraminifers, recovered from five single-bit holes drilled in the southern Gulf of Mexico on Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 77 are rare, poorly preserved, and scattered throughout the dominantly redeposited sediments. The Mesozoic sequence at basin Sites 535 and 540 consists largely of laminated limestone with smaller amounts of skeletal limestone and pure pelagic limestone, whereas the Mesozoic sediments at basement Sites 536, 537, and 538 (Hole 538A) consist largely of oolitic-oncolitic limestone.
