Smoothed abundance of bulk mineralogy in the Cenozoic sediments of core CRP-3
The mineralogy of the lower Oligocene (to possibly upper Eocene) sediments of core CRP-3 drilled on the continental shelf of McMurdo Sound in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, has been... -
Physical properties of sediment core CRP-3
Drillhole CRP-3 in northern McMurdo Sound (Ross Sea, Antarctica) targeted the western margin of the Victoria Land basin to investigate Neogene to Palaeogene climate and tectonic... -

(Table 1) Major and trace elements of sediment core CRP-3
The CRP-3 core, drilled in western McMurdo Sound in October and November 1999, penetrated 823 m of lower Oligocene (to possibly upper Eocene) glacially influenced sediments. The... -

The presence of authigenic smectite in the lower Oligocene sandstones of the Cape Roberts Project core CRP-3 from the Victoria Land Basin of Antarctica is confirmed by scanning... -
Facies analysis on sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
Cape Roberts Project drill core 3 (CRP-3) was obtained from Roberts ridge, a sea-floor high located at 77°S, 12 km offshore from Cape Roberts in western McMurdo Sound,... -
(Table 1) Geochemical analysis on sediment core CRP-3
Sediments and rocks recovered in CRP-3 coring operations contain minute amounts of organic matter (average 0.3% TOC). TOC contents and C:N ratios are zoned systematically: those... -
Clay and smectite content in sediment core CRP-3
The Cenozoic sediments of the CRP-3 drill core from the continental shelf of McMurdo Sound in Ross Sea, Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean, have been investigated for their... -
Clay mineralogy of Cape Roberts sediment cores
The clay mineral assemblages of the ca. 1600 m thick Cenozoic sedimentary succession recovered at the CRP-1, CRP-2/2A and CRP-3 drill sites off Cape Roberts on the McMurdo Sound... -
Chronostratigraphy of sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
An 823 m thick glaciomarine Cenozoic section sitting unconformably on the Lower Devonian Beacon Supergroup was recovered in CRP-3. This paper reviews the chronostratigraphical... -
Geochemistry of minerals in CRP sediment cores from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
Sixty-four volcanic chists, sandstones and tephras between 5.95 and 618.19 meters below sea floor (mbsf) in the Cape Roberts Project cores 2 and 2A cores (CRP-2/2A) were... -
Sand geochemistry on sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
A total of 167 samples distubuted throughout the CRP-3 drillhole from 5.77 to 787.68 mbsf and representing fine to coarse sandstones have been analysed by X-ray fluorescence... -
Investigations on volcanic rocks in sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, An...
The petrography, mineralogy and geochemistry of volcanic and subvolcanic rocks in CRP-3 core have been examined in detail in order to characterise and to compare them with... -
Geochemistry of basement clasts from sediment core CRP-3 in the ross Sea, Ant...
Distribution patterns and petrographical and mineral chemistry data are described for the most representative basement lithologies occuring as clast in the c. 824 m thick... -
Stable isotope ratios measured on molluscan from the CRP sediment cores in th...
Stable isotope analyses of marine bivalve growth increment samples have been used to estimate early Oligocene (29.4 - 31.2) Ma and early Miocene (24.0 Ma) seafloor... -
Distribution of phytolithes in CRP sediment cores from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
Phytoliths (siliceous plant microfossils) have been recovered from Cenozoic sediments (c. 34 to 17 Ma) in the CRP-2/2A and CRP-3 drillholes cored off Cape Roberts, Victoria Land... -
Ostracoda in sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
A total of eighteen species of marine ostracods, in at least twelve genera, have been recovered from Early and Late Oligocene glacio-marine sediments from boreholes CRP-3 and... -
Biostratigraphy of sediment core CRP-3 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
Early Oligocene siliceous microfossils were recovered in the upper c. 193 m of the CRP-3 drillcore. Although abundance and preservation are highly variable through this section,...
