Abstract
The paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic history of the Middle and Late Miocene marginal eastern North Pacific was studied in a north-to-south transect encompassing DSDP [deep-sea drilling project]. Site 173, the Newport Beach surface section, and DSDP Site 470, based on quantitative diatom and planktic foraminiferal analyses. Fourteen cold and 12 warm events that show close agreement with other microfossil studies as well as oxygen isotope records from low-latitude Pacific sites were identified. Hiatuses are recognized at 7 to 6.5 Ma [million yr], 9.8 to 8.5 Ma, and 12 to 11 Ma at the 3 reference localities, and they correspond to widely recognized deep-sea hiatuses in the World Ocean.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
