Abstract:
Neogene calcareous sediments were recovered at 11 sites along two north-south transects in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 138. An overview of planktonic foraminifer distribution in these sediments was presented in Mayer, Pisias, Janecek, et al. (1992) based on a preliminary examination of core-catcher samples. In general, the preservation state of the foraminifers is poor throughout most of the sedimentary sequences, making this microfossil group here of much less value for biostratigraphy than other microfossil groups. Pliocene-Pleistocene planktonic foraminifers from several sites have been analyzed in great detail for their oxygen and carbon isotope composition in various high-resolution studies (Farrell et al., this volume; Mix et al., this volume; Ravello et al., this volume; Shackleton et al., this volume). Planktonic foraminiferal datums of biostratigraphic value have been identified in several of these studies. This report presents planktonic foraminiferal distribution in selected Miocene sediments.
