Figure F15. Schematic diagrams reconstructing the depositional history of the Marion Plateau sequences based on recovered lithologies (see "Platform Evolution" in "Leg Synthesis" for a description of the evolutionary sequence of depositional events). Diagrams on the left represent the transect across the Northern Marion Platform (Sites 1192, 1193, 1194, and 1195). Diagrams on the right represent the transect across the Southern Marion Platform (Sites 1196, 1197, 1198, and 1199). Time slices are (from bottom to top) (A) Oligocene, (B) early Miocene to middle Miocene, (C) late middle Miocene, (D) late Miocene to Pliocene-Pleistocene, and (E) Pliocene-Pleistocene to Holocene. Subseafloor depth on the southern drilling transect has been adjusted to account for differential subsidence since the middle Miocene.
