Abstract

The 7 lithologic units pernetrated are, from bottom to top,: limestone and chalk (U.Berriasian-Barremian), green-gray and black claytone (Barremian to Cenomanian), multicolored claystones (?Turonian-Maestrichtan), marly chalk (U.Maestrichtian) siliceous turbidites, siliceous claystones and chert (L.Paleocene-M.Eocene), radiolarian mud (M.Eocene-U.Oligocene), and hemipelagic clay (?Miocene-Quaternary). Sediment accumulation at Site 387 appears to have been nearly continuous, except for a possible hiatus or extremely low accumulation rate within the U.Cretaceous multi-colored claystones. -from Authors
