contents A stable-isotope stratigraphy was established for planktonic and benthic foraminifers from upper Miocene-lower Pliocene pelagic sediments from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. A correlation of stable-isotope and biostratigraphic data with magnetostratigraphic age revealed the following: (1) the late Miocene carbon-isotope shift in the South Atlantic bottom waters was minute compared with the shift reported for other deep-sea locations (Haq et al., 1980), (2) a significant cooling or continental ice-volume increase occurred between 5.7 and 5.2 Ma, and (3) a period of warming or ice-volume decrease followed, with the rate of warming increasing beginning at 4.5 Ma and reaching a climax at 4.3 Ma. The timing of these paleoceanographic events is correlated with the onset and termination of the Messinian salinity crisis in the Mediterranean Sea.
