Pliocene to Pleistocene planktonic foraminiferal datum levels in the North Pacific Keller, Gerta PANGAEA 1979 Issued: 1979 doi:10.1016/0377-8398(79)90021-5 Drilling/drill rig Leg18 Leg31 Leg32 Glomar Challenger Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Continuous late Neogene planktonic foraminiferal records have been studied in the deep-sea cores of DSDP Sites 173, 310, and 296 across mid-latitudes of the North Pacific. These three sites have been correlated on the basis of planktonic foraminiferal events and major paleoclimatic/paleoceanographic intervals and tied to diatom, radiolarian, and nannofossil datum levels, and paleomagnetic and isotopic stratigraphy. Ten planktonic foraminiferal datum levels have been recognized within these Pliocene to Pleistocene sections; two of these are recognizable within the Pleistocene and eight within the Pliocene. Six planktonic foraminiferal zones are proposed which combined with the foraminiferal datum levels provide a high resolution biostratigraphic correlation for the mid-latitudes of the North Pacific.
