Depth fluctuations of the lysocline and calcite compensation depth (CCD) through time were investigated at Deep Sea Drilling Project Site 603, Leg 93. The CCD fell during the middle Miocene at the onset of the Western Boundary Undercurrent, correlated with seismic Horizon X. Subsequently deposited units show fluctuations of the dissolution curve. Major changes in dissolution facies correspond with lithologic boundaries. ... : Supplement to: Gervais, Elisabeth (1987): Miocene dissolution facies and microfacies at Northwest Atlantic Deep Sea Drilling Project Site 603.
