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.
