Table of Contents:

Site 76 was selected in order to core a thick sequence of sediments north of the Tuamotu ridge that had been crossed by Glomar Challenger justprior to the termination of Leg 8 in Tahiti. Two holes at this site continuously cored 27 meters of lower Pliocene to Recent phillipsitic clay and calcareous nannofossil ooze interbedded with calcareous turbidites. The drill bit was stopped by a silicified calcareous turbidite of Early Pliocene age.
