Condensed pelagic deposits characterize the uppermost sediment sequence of the Maud Rise in the eastern Weddell Sea. The comparison of subbottom profiling data with the sediments drilled at two ODP sites shows that Lithologic Unit Ib deposited during late Miocene to late Pliocene times is generally...
