Abstract:
The full suite of magnetic polarity chrons from Subchron M''-2r'' (early Albian) through Chron C13r (latest Eocene) were resolved at one or more Ocean Drilling Program sites on the Blake Nose salient of the Florida continental margin. These sediments preserve diverse assemblages of calcareous and siliceous microfossils; therefore, the composite suite provides a reference section for high-resolution correlation of biostratigraphic datums to magnetic polarity chrons of the Late Cretaceous and Paleogene. Relative condensation or absence of polarity zones at different sites along the transect enhance the recognition and dating of depositional sequences and unconformities within the margin succession. A stable paleolatitude of ~25°N was maintained from the late Aptian through Eocene.
