Pollen analysis of laminated and homogeneous sediment from the Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California.

Abstract

Drilling at Site 480, the first successful hydraulic piston coring of the DSDP, penetrated with little or no disturbance about 152 m of varve-like sediments on the slope of the Guaymas Basin. Presents the initial results of pollen analyses from the first 87 samples available from Site 480, and, detailed analysis of 9m of core, analyzed at 10-cm intervals, from 480-3-1 through 480-4-3. -from Author
