(Table T1) Biostratigraphy and distribution of Quaternary and Miocene calcareous nannofossils in ODP Site 188-1165

During Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 188, piston and rotary cores were recovered at three southern Indian Ocean sites on the continental margin in Prydz Bay, Antarctica, in order to obtain a detailed sedimentary record reflecting Cenozoic Antarctic glacial history and paleoenvironments. Coring at continental rise Site 1165 revealed a relatively continuous, ~1000-m, lower Miocene to upper Pliocene section overlain by a thin Quaternary cover. No nannofossils were noted at shelf Site 1166, where a discontinuous, ~343-m section of Quaternary- to Late Cretaceous-age predominantly glacial marine diamictons was recovered. At slope Site 1167, ~447 m of clayey silty sands was recovered, where nannofossils are rare and sporadic but indicate Pleistocene age for at least the upper ~227 m there.
