contents Since the 1970s, Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) and Deep Sea Drilling Program (DSDP) studies have documented high accumulations of biogenic silica and carbonate in the late Miocene-early Pliocene Indian-Pacific Ocean. This high biogenic productivity event, or the "Biogenic Bloom Event," has been dated from 9.0 to 3.5 Ma (Leinen, 1979, doi:10.1130/0016-7606(1979)90<801:BSAITC>2.0.CO;2; Theyer et al., 1985, doi:10.2973/dsdp.proc.85.133.1985; Farrell et al., 1995, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.138.143.1995; Dickens and Owen, 1996, doi:10.1016/0377-8398(95)00054-2, 1999, doi:10.1016/S0025-3227(99)00057-2; Dickens and Barron, 1997, doi:10.1016/S0377-8398(97)00003-0; Berger et al., 1993, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.130.051.1993). It is unknown, however, whether the Biogenic Bloom Event existed in the South China Sea (SCS). High-quality Cenozoic sediment cores taken from the SCS during ODP Leg 184 provide an opportunity to investigate this question. The purpose of this study is to trace and illustrate the change in biogenic productivity in the southern SCS since the late Miocene and the Biogenic Bloom Event in terms of the content and accumulation rate of opal and carbonate at Site 1143.
