Sediments recovered from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 210 Hole 1276A range in age from Early Cretaceous (earliest Albian) to Paleogene (earliest Oligocene). In this study, samples were processed and analyzed for micropaleontological and palynological content, as well as sedimentary components. Core recovery from this site was good (85% between 800 and 1725.16 meters below seafloor), and the majority of samples processed yielded microfossils of some nature. Although none of the major groups are consistently present in all samples, calcareous nannofossils, agglutinated benthic foraminifers, and radiolarians do occur in many samples. The best age constraints for Hole 1276A are provided by calcareous nannofossils and dinoflagellate cysts. Age-diagnostic planktonic foraminifers are more commonly found in redeposited turbidite sandstones rather than in the autochthonous pelagic mudrocks. The depositional environments of the sediments have been interpreted as varying in oxygenation but having been deposited at ... : Supplement to: Urquhart, Elspeth; Gardin, Silvia; Leckie, R Mark; Wood, S A; Pross, Jörg; Georgescu, Marius Dan; Ladner, Bryan; Takata, Hiroyuki (2007): A paleontological synthesis of ODP Leg 210, Newfoundland Basin.
