| contents | During Leg 194, a series of eight sites was drilled through Oligocene-Holocene mixed carbonate and siliciclastic sediments on the Marion Plateau, northeast Australia. The major objective was to constrain the magnitude and timing of sea level changes in the Miocene. Site 1193, located on the Marion Plateau in 348 m of water ~80 km from the south central Great Barrier Reef margin, is probably the most important site for constraining the major middle to late Miocene sea level drop and reconstructing the evolution history of the Marion Plateau during the Miocene (Isern, Anselmetti, Blum, et al., 2002, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.194.2002). However, there is no biostratigraphic or other chronological data for the critical interval between 36 and 211 meters below seafloor (mbsf) (virtually the entire late and middle Miocene) due to poor core recovery and a virtual absence of planktonic microfossils in the core catcher samples examined aboard the ship (Isern, Anselmetti, Blum, et al., 2002, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.194.2002). The main purpose of this report is to refine the shipboard nannofossil biostratigraphy through examination of new samples and more detailed examination of those samples reported on board the ship. This results in a refinement for most of the nannofossil datums and provides some useful age information to fill the critical data gap for the middle Miocene. Previous Neogene nannofossil biostratigraphic studies of the Marion Plateau and Queensland Plateau include Gartner et al. (1993, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.133.213.1993) and Wei and Gartner (1993, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.133.216.1993). |
