Description:
Calcareous nannofossils were encountered at only one of the sites (435) drilled during DSDP Leg 56. Cores from Hole 435A yield fairly diverse early and late Pliocene assemblages. The section shows considerable reworking, however. Three to five biostratigraphic datum events provide a reasonable biochronology. The datums range from about 3.3 Ma in Core 11 to about 1.8 Ma in Core 3. Paleobiogeographic data indicate relatively stable and warm climatic conditions in this area in the early Pliocene, becoming more unstable in the late Pliocene when the cosmopolitan species become dominant.
