Investigation of diagenesis in sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
A diagenetic study was carried out on the cored Miocene section in CRP-1 by thin-section, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, electron microprobe and stable... -
Geochemistry of bulk samples and various minerals of sediment core CRP-1 from...
Thirty-nine medium and fine grained sandstones from between 19,26 and 147,23 mbsf in the Cape Roberts-l core (CRP-1) were analysed for 10 major and 16 trace elements. Using... -
Investigation of Miocene foraminifera in sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross Se...
A faunal comprising 18 foraminiferal taxa wa recovered from a suite of 52 core samples from lower Miocene sandstone, claystone and diamictite in the CRP-1 drillhole, Cape... -
Investigation of Pliocene foraminifera on sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross S...
Mixed assemblages of Pliocene and Quaternary foraminifera occur within the Quaternary succession of the CRP-1 drillhole. Pliocene foraminifera are not present in the lowermost... -
Age determination with strontium isotopes on sediment core CRP-1 from the Ros...
Strontium isotope stratigraphy was used to date five discrete horizons within CRP-1. Early and late Quaternary (0.87-1.3 Ma and 0-0.67 Ma respectively) age sediments overlie a... -
Preliminary results and documentation of sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross Se...
The first hole of the Cape Roberts Project, CRP-1, was drilled in October, 1997, to a depth of 148 metres below the sea floor (mbsf) before being terminated unexpectedly the... -
Abundance of ostracoda in sediment cores CRP-1 and CRP-2
Sparse, poorly preserved late Oligocene (3 species) and early Miocene (4 species) ostracod faunas have been recovered from CRP-2A, while relatively more abundant Quaternary... -
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... -
Carbon, nitrogen and sulphur of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1)
Sediments and rocks recovered in CRP-1 coring operations contain relatively little organic matter (average 0.4% TOC) and very small amounts of solvent-soluble organic matter (... -

Grain size analysis on core plugs of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1, 2)
Twenty four core samples from CRP-1, seven from Quaternary strata (20-43.55 meters below sea floor or mbsf) and seventeen from early Miocene strata (43.55 to 147.69 mbsf), have... -
Mineralogy of sediment core CRP-1
The mineralogy of the lower Miocene and Quaternary sediments of the drillcore CRP-1 (McMurdo Sound, Ross Sea, Antarctica) has been analysed using the X-ray diffraction method.... -
Petrophysical measurements on core plug samples of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1)
This paper reports measurements of velocity vs pressure and of bulk density, porosity, matrix density, and magnetic susceptibility in 18 core plugs from CRP-1. Comparison of our... -
Clay mineralogy of sediment core CRP-1
Clay mineral assemblages in lower Miocene and Quaternary sediments recovered at the CRP-1 drillsite, McMurdo Sound shelf, Antarctica, were analysed in order to reconstruct... -

Analytical results of 19 amino acid analyses from Unit 3.1 of sediment core C...
Amino acid-based geochronological analyses were carried out on fossil mollusc shell and foraminifera from Unit 3.1, Cape Roberts Project core CRP-1. Ratios of D-alloIsoleucine... -
Selected major elements and trace elements of ferrar dolerite clasts from sed...
One of the objectives of the Cape Roberts Project is to study the tectonic history of the western Ross Sea region. Timing of the uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains, which... -
Abundance of terrestrial palynomorphs of sediment core CRP-1
Sparse pollen and spores from the lower Miocene section of CRP-1 derive from at least three sources. A low-diversity but persitent angiosperm-moss-liverwort assemblage may... -
Rare earth element content of the clay fraction from sediment core CRP-1 (Tab...
TEM observations on smectites and REE analyses on the clay minerals of the sediments of CRP-1 core were carried out to investigate their origin and the source rocks from which...
