Age, biostratigraphic and paleomagnetic events at DSDP Leg 94 ...
During DSDP Leg 94 sediment was recovered from 22 holes at six sites situated between 37° and 53°N in the North Atlantic. Paleomagnetic, calcareous nannofossil, foraminiferal, diatom, radiolarian, and dinocyst stratigraphic studies were completed. The excellent magnetostratigraphic results, the near...

| Summary: | During DSDP Leg 94 sediment was recovered from 22 holes at six sites situated between 37° and 53°N in the North Atlantic. Paleomagnetic, calcareous nannofossil, foraminiferal, diatom, radiolarian, and dinocyst stratigraphic studies were completed. The excellent magnetostratigraphic results, the near-complete recovery, and the abundant fossil content of the sediment allowed refinement of these stratigraphies, especially for the upper Pliocene-Holocene. Because the Leg 94 sites span middle and high North Atlantic latitudes, it is possible to use them to evaluate the synchrony of late Pliocene to Holocene datums. ... : Supplement to: Baldauf, Jack G; Thomas, Ellen; Clement, Bradford M; Takayama, Toshiaki; Weaver, Philip PE; Backman, Jan; Jenkins, G; Mudie, Peta J; Westberg-Smith, M J (1987): Magnetostratigraphic and biostratigraphic synthesis, Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 94.
