(Table 1) Detrital modes for sand grains in sediment core CRP-1
Detrital modes for the sand-size fraction in 24 samples from the CRP-1 drillcore are described. Most samples are largely composed of quartzo-feldspathic detritus sourced... -
Petrographical classification and mineral assemblage of basement clasts from ...
Petrographical and mineral chemistry data are described for the mist representative basement lithologies occurring as clasts (pebble grain-size class) from the CRP-1 drillhole.... -
Carbonate content of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1)
Determinations of total carbonate content yield additional information, in the context of integrated investigations, thus enabling or enhancing the interpretation and... -
Occurence of macrofossils in the carbonate-rich unit of sediment core CRP-1 (...
Macrofossils are a significant component of biogenic carbonate sediments in the Quaternary section of the CRP-1 drillhole, Cape Roberts, Victoria Land Basin. The middle... -
Geochemistry on smectites in sediment cores CRP-1 and CRP-2 from the Ross Sea...
TEM (transmission electron microscopy) observations and microanalyses on smectite microparticles in the sediments of the CRP-2A core were carried out to determine their origin... -
Mineral assemblage of basement clasts of sediment core CRP-1
Heavy minerals from the lower Miocene and Quaternary sediments of the CRP-1 drillcore have been investigated in order to characterise the mineralogical composition of the... -
Ice rafted debris distribution in sediment core CRP-1
Lonestone abundances in CRP-1 were investigated using three methods: core examination at Cape Roberts Camp, analysis of digital core images and follow-up core examination. For... -
Geochemistry on sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1)
The CRP-1 core penetrated 148 m of Quaternary and lower Miocene glacigenic sediments. This material complements the Eocene trhough Miocene strata that was cored previously at... -
Description of lithofacies associations and their interpreted settings from s...
Cape Roberts Project drillcore 1 was obtained from Roberts Ridge, a sea-floor high located at 77°S, 16 km offshore from Cape Roberts in western McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. The... -
Physical properties of sediment core CRP-1
The relationship between whole-core compressional wave velocities and gamma-ray attenuation porosities of sediments cored at CRP-1 is examined and compared with results from... -
(Table 1) Stable oxygen and carbon isotope composition of bivalve shells of s...
Bivalve shells from the CRP-l drillhole, Cape Roberts (Victoria Land Basin), have been analysed for their stable isotope composition to obtain information on Antarctic coastal... -
Modal analyses of thin-sections of sediment core CRP-1 (Table 1)
During the course of the 1997 drilling campaign, lithostratigraphic boundaries were assigned to the CRP-l core on the basis of perceived changes in lithology. The geologically...
