ABSTRACT The Newfoundland-Iberia rift is a type example of a nonvolcanic rift. Rifting
occurred in two phases: Late Triassic into Early Jurassic, and Late Jurassic through Early …

We present an overview of the Eocene-Oligocene transition from a marine perspective and
posit that growth of a continent-scale Antarctic ice sheet (25× 106 km3) was a primary cause …

Abstract In the North Atlantic Ocean, contour-following deep currents have created regional
erosional unconformities and deposited contourite drifts that exceed 2 km in thickness and …

NSC). and sediment distribution. The (ll'lC reconstructions and unconformities/hiatuses
indicate that the Southern Ocean was the dominant deepwater source for the late Eocene …

We present a compressional seismic velocity profile of the crust of the eastern margin of the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada. This velocity model was obtained by a tomographic …

Seismic, lithostratigraphic, faunal, and isotopic evidence from the western and northern
North Atlantic indicates that formation of northern sources for strongly circulating bottom …

Whereas it is well established that on a broad scale the deep-sea stratigraphic record is
punctuated by unconformities involving hiatuses as long as an epoch or more, it is generally …

Summary Deep Sea Drilling Project sites in the North American Basin penetrated Mesozoic
and Cenozoic sedimentary sequences of similar lithology, age, faunal assemblages and …

Biosiliceous sediments in the modern ocean reflect present-day oceanographic conditions
and are incorporated into the geological record beneath regions of high surface water …

We reconstructed Oligocene-Miocene abyssal circulation changes in the North Atlantic
using seismic, isotope, and sediment accumulation data, and evaluated the response of …
