Walvis Ridge, located in the eastern South Atlantic Ocean, is one of the few known locations where it is possible to recover undisturbed, complete, and possibly expanded Paleogene sediments over a wide range of water depths. The main objective of Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 208, realized on outer Walvis Ridge in the summer of 2003, was recovery of intact composite sequences of "critical" transitions like the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) boundary, Eocene/Oligocene (E/O) boundary, Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), and the Elmo event.Meteor Cruise M49/1, in early 2001, was the main seismic presite survey for Leg 208. The high-resolution multichannel seismic system of the University of Bremen was used to identify drill sites at outer Walvis Ridge that promised recovery of undisturbed, complete, and possibly expanded Cenozoic sequences. Based on these new seismic data, six sites were drilled at water depths between 2500 and 4755 m on the northeastern flank of Walvis Ridge during Leg 208.To ground truth ... : Supplement to: Bartels, Thomas; Krastel, Sebastian; Spieß, Volkhard (2007): Correlation of high-resolution seismic data with ODP Leg 208 borehole measurements.
