Abstract
Sites 407 through 409 constitute a W-E transect on the W flank of the Reykjanes Ridge. The presence of a Pliocene/Quaternary unconformity at Sites 407 and 408 indicates that the unconformity is a regional feature related to increased bottom current or to turbidity current activity associated with one or more major late Cenozoic climatic events. Miocene unconformities were caused by changes in bottom current activity probably related to the subsidence history of the Iceland-Faeroe Ridge. 4 L.Miocene, 3 M.Miocene, 1 U.Miocene, 2 Pliocene, and 1 Quaternary biostratigraphic divisions are proposed for high-latitude Neogene sediments of the North Atlantic. -from Author
