| contents | Diatoms are present in middle to lower upper Miocene sections of all holes examined during Leg 150, but are generally absent or in low abundance in Pleistocene to middle upper Miocene sediments. An exception is the alternating diatom-rich, diatom-poor intervals in upper Quaternary sediments. Five new diatom zones, covering an interval from near the lower/middle Miocene boundary to the lower upper Miocene, are proposed. Some of the taxon used to define these zones are also used in zonal schemes for the East Coast of the United States, and allow for correlations to be drawn between this region and Leg 150 sites. Lower Miocene and older levels are not included in this study. Although older Tertiary diatoms are present at some of the sites, dissolution has largely compromised their usefulness as zonal markers. |
