(Table T1) Depth of target horizons at all ODP Leg 208 sites@en

Walvis Ridge, located in the eastern South Atlantic Ocean, is one of the few known locations where it is possible to recover undisturbed, complete, and possibly expanded Paleogene sediments over a wide range of water depths. The main objective of Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 208, realized on outer Walvis Ridge in the summer of 2003, was recovery of intact composite sequences of \"critical\" transitions like the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) boundary, Eocene/Oligocene (E/O) boundary, Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), and the Elmo event. […]位于南大西洋东部的沃尔维斯海岭（Walvis Ridge），是目前已知少数可在广泛水深范围内获取未受扰动、完整且可能得到延伸的古近纪沉积物的区域之一。2003年夏季在沃尔维斯海岭外缘实施的大洋钻探计划（Ocean Drilling Program，ODP）第208航次，其核心目标为获取白垩纪/第三纪（K/T）界线、始新世/渐新世（E/O）界线、古新世/始新世极热事件（Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum，PETM）以及埃尔莫事件等“关键”转折界面的完整复合地层序列。[…]
