Comparison of terminal and intercalary Eucampia valves from northern Kerguelen Leg 119 sites with those of mud-line sediments from Prydz Bay (Table 1)

On ODP Leg 119, specimens collected of Eucampia antarctica (Castracane) Mangin var. antarctica exhibited morphological and distribution patterns that contrasted with those of Eucampia antarctica var. recta (Mangin) G. Fryxell et Prasad. E. antarctica var. antarctica was found over the northern Kerguelen Plateau, north of the summer Antarctic Convergence Zone, in the subpolar plankton and in the sediments. E. antarctica var. recta was found close to the continent in Prydz Bay. It was also collected near and under the ice in the northern Weddell Sea on a National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project (1983-1988). […]
