contents An intensive mineralogic and geochemical investigation was conducted on sediments recovered during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 166 from the western Great Bahama Bank at Sites 1006, 1008, and 1009. Pleistocene through middle Miocene sediments recovered from Site 1006, the distal location on the Leg 166 transect, are a mixture of bank-derived and pelagic carbonates with lesser and varying amounts of siliciclastic clays. A thick sequence of Pleistocene periplatform carbonates was recovered near the platform edge at Sites 1008 and 1009. Detailed bulk mineralogic, elemental (Ca, Mg, Sr, and Na), and stable isotopic (d18O and d13C) analyses of sediments are presented from a total of 317 samples from all three sites.
