Pliocene-Pleistocene Composite Reference Section for Southern Ocean Diatom Biostratigraphy

Entry ID: Neogene_chronostratigraphy_Southern_Ocean_diatoms

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Biostratigraphic Composite Reference Section for Pliocene and Pleistocene
diatoms in Southern Ocean sediments. The new quantitative biostratigraphic
model incorporates records of 78 diatom taxa, 29 paleomagnetic reversals, and
two radiometrically dated ash layers from 27 Plio- Pleistocene sections in the
Southern Ocean and around the Antarctic continental margin. A CONOP ...
