Growth of the Antarctic ice sheets and the Neogene paleoenvironment of the Maurice Ewing bank.

A micropaleontologic, magnetostratigraphic, and sedimentologic analysis of 56 piston cores was the basis of a geologic study of the late Miocene to Recent depositional and erosional history of the intermediate-depth Maurice Ewing Bank located at the eastern extremity of the Falkland (Malvinas) Plate...

Description
Summary:A micropaleontologic, magnetostratigraphic, and sedimentologic analysis of 56 piston cores was the basis of a geologic study of the late Miocene to Recent depositional and erosional history of the intermediate-depth Maurice Ewing Bank located at the eastern extremity of the Falkland (Malvinas) Plateau, SW Atlantic Ocean. The depositional and erosional history of the Maurice Ewing Bank may be correlated with globally significant paleoceanographic events and episodes.-from Current Antarctic Literature
