| Summary: | DSDP Leg 73 sediment cores allow direct calibrations of magnetostratigraphy and biostratigraphy for much of the latest Cretaceous to Cenozoic in the mid-latitude South Atlantic Ocean. A complete record of the Cenozoic was not obtained, however, because strong dissolution, poor core recovery and intense core disturbance have masked the biostratigraphy or magnetostratigraphy over some intervals of all recovered sections. DSDP Leg 73 results show the following correlations:Early/middle Miocene in Chron 16Oligocene/Miocene within Subchron C6CNEocene/Oligocene within Subchron C13RMiddle/late Eocene top of Chron C17Early/late Paleocene top of Subchron C27NCretaceous/Tertiary within Subchron C29R |
