A high-resolution chronostratigraphy was established for Holes 680B and 686B, drilled during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 112 off Peru. The stratigraphy is largely based on oxygen isotopes of bent
Neogene calcareous sediments were recovered at 12 sites in the western Indian Ocean (Table 1). Approximately 1000 10-cm**3 samples, at a sampling interval of about 1.5 m, were collected from one hole
