The first author would like to thank many people for their help and support during the work that culminated with this paper; Lisa Osterman, Amy Weinheimer, and Masao Iwai for sharing their thoughts, shoulders, and candy throughout the entire leg; the entire shipboard scientific group for their many ideas and opinions of what the "truth of the matter was" at each site; and the technical staff of the JOIDES Resolution, without whose help no work would ever get done. The Department of Geology and the Antarctic Research Facility at Florida State University provided the home to process and examine many samples. Thomas Janecek, Matt Curren, Kristeen McGonnigal, and Dave Sheaffer provided camaraderie and never-failing good humor. David Harwood gave freely of his time, friendship, beer, and office space. Paula Weiss generously shared space, microscopes, computers, and herself at the East Coast Repository.
