Initial report on geological materials collected at RISP Site J9
Abstract
Sampling of 58 cores at Ross Ice Shelf Project Site J9 was undertaken in December of both 1977 and 1978. Analysis of sea floor wave forms suggests that the northward movement of the Ross Ice Shelf in this region might be between 1 and 4 m a day. The lithological, paleontological, and stratigraphical core analyses are described. A data of 174 m.y. was obtained from Rb/Sr dating of fine grained detrital feldspars in a dredge sample of the core upper unit.
