This contribution analyzes the results of two palynological studies conducted on samples of Neogene sediments recovered by Leg 42A. The first was aimed at deducing climatic changes during the Neogene and found evidence of mild warm climates in the upper Tortonian of Site 375 and of cooler climates in the earliest Pliocene of Site 374. The second reports the results of detailed studies on individual sapropel layers recovered at Site 374 and relates the occurrence of such layers in the Pleistocene to phases of climate amelioration.
