More than 15 sedimentary cycles dated to the last glacial period (53-10 ka BP) have been recognized in a contourite deposit on the Faeroe Drift in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea. Each cycle consists of a silty, basaltic lower part and a clayey, acidic (siliceous) upper part. The sedimentary...
