Deep-sea sediments from the SE Atlantic at ODP Sites 1085, 1087 and 1265 off the continental margin SW African and the Walvis Ridge were investigated using sedimentological, mineralogical and geochemical analyses in order to paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic signals in the Neogene. The variation...
