Description:
Analysis of individual laminae in Recent sediments from the slopes of the Guaymas Basin indicates an increased abundance of the larger sizes (〉60 µm) of Coscinodiscus nodulifer when upwelling conditions persist over the depositional site and an increase of the smaller sizes (〈60 µm) when nonupwelling conditions exist. The size distributions of C. nodulifer in 10-cm composite samples from Hole 480 show a greater abundance of the large sizes (〉60 µm) associated with well-laminated sections and more of the smaller sizes (〈60 µm) in samples from the homogeneous sections. We have tentatively correlated the pronounced homogeneous zones with late Pleistocene glacial periods. These results indicate a persistence of nonupwelling conditions over Hole 480 during glacial periods (homogeneous zones) and a predominance of upwelling conditions during interglacial periods (laminated zones). Other evidence from diatom and silicoflagellate floral analysis seems to support these preliminary conclusions.
