Linking Modern Benthic Communities and Taphonomic Processes to the Stratigraphic Record of Antarctic Cores
Entry ID:
NSF-ANT07-39583
Summary
Abstract:
This project answers a simple question: why are there so few fossils in sediment cores from Antarctica's continental shelf? Antarctica's benthos are as biologically rich as those of the tropics. Shell-secreting organisms should have left a trail throughout geologic time, but have not. This trail is particularly important because these organisms record regional climate in ways that are critical ...
