Ocean Drilling Program Site 1146 was drilled within a small rift basin on the midcontinental slope of the northern South China Sea. It is located at 19°27.4´N, 116°16.37´E, in 2092 m water depth. This site was drilled to recover records of Asian monsoon variability into the middle Miocene with temporal resolution sufficient for orbital-scale analyses. Here we present oxygen and carbon isotopic measurements of planktonic foraminifers (Globigerinoides ruber) and benthic foraminifers (Uvigerina peregrina and Cibicides wuellerstorfi) as well as a preliminary age model for the top 185 meters composite depth (mcd).
