Magnetostratigraphy of Sediments from Sites 748 and 750 , Leg 120 1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnetostratigraphy of Sites 748 and 750 of Ocean Drilling Program Leg 120 is reported. About 260 sediment cubes were stepwise demagnetized with alternating fields to determine their characteristic direction of natural remanent magnetization. In general, the characteristic inclinations of the single samples have values similar to the inclination values obtained from whole-core measurements at the nearest depth. The preliminary magnetostratigraphy of Sites 748 and 750, which had been reported based on shipboard measurements, was confirmed and extended. A rather complete magnetostratigraphic record from the middle Eocene to the Pliocene was obtained from Site 748.

Paleomagnetic measurements were performed on whole cores and discrete samples from approximately 4 km of sediment recovered during Leg 145 of the Ocean Drilling Program. The obtained magnetic polarity sequences enabled the establishment of a chronostratigraphic framework from the middle Miocene (about 18.3 Ma) to the present. The quality of the magnetic record is related directly to the sedimen...
متن کامل12 . the Magnetostratigraphy of Leg 94 Sediments
The primary objective of DSDP Leg 94 was to obtain continuous paleoclimatic records along a roughly north-south transect in the North Atlantic. The magnetostratigraphy of 21 holes at 6 sites cored with the hydraulic piston corer and extended-core-barrel corer is presented here and establishes an independent chronology for these sediments. Nearly complete records were obtained for the last 2.5 m...

Detailed paleomagnetic investigations were conducted to develop a magnetostratigraphic framework for sedimentary sequences that were recovered by hydraulic piston coring in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (Ocean Drilling Program Leg 160). A total of 1556 discrete samples from seven sites were subjected to detailed demagnetization, and high-resolution measurements of the magnetic properties of >10...
متن کاملA Greigite-Based Magnetostratigraphic Time Frame for the Late Miocene to Recent DSDP Leg 42B Cores from the Black Sea
Throughout the Late Neogene, the Black Sea experienced large paleoenvironmental changes, switching between (anoxic) marine conditions when connected to the Mediterranean Sea and (oxic) freshwater conditions at times of isolation. We create a magnetostratigraphic time frame for three sites drilled during Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Leg 42B to the Black Sea (drilled in 1975). At the time, ma...

Broken Ridge represents a fragment of the oceanic Kerguelen-Heard platform, constructed at high southern latitudes in the middle Cretaceous and rifted apart during the middle Eocene (43-45 Ma). The approximately 1400-m section of prerift sediments on Broken Ridge preserves a polarity sequence that spans the middle Eocene to Upper Cretaceous (Chrons Cl 8/C20 to C34), including a 500-m continuous...
