Sample 180-1117A-1R-CC is barren of nannofossils and foraminifers. Cores 180-1117A-2R to 14R and 180-1117B-1R recovered no sediment.
Sample 180-1117C-1R-CC contained a black mudstone pebble. The pebble contains no foraminifers, but it does contain a few moderately preserved nannofossils. The presence of Discoaster brouweri and Pseudoemiliania lacunosa restricts the pebble to Pliocene Zones NN14-NN18.
