Abstract:
Analysis of individual laminae in Recent sediments from the slopes of the Guaymas Basin indicates an increased abundance of the larger sizes (>60 µm) of Coscinodiscus nodulifer when upwelling conditions persist over the depositional site and an increase of the smaller sizes (<60 µm) when nonupwelling conditions exist. The size distributions of C. nodulifer in 10-cm composite samples from Hole 480 show a greater abundance of the large sizes (>60 µm) associated with well-laminated sections and more of the smaller sizes (<60 µm) in samples from the homogeneous sections. We have tentatively correlated the pronounced homogeneous zones with late Pleistocene glacial periods. These results indicate a persistence of nonupwelling conditions over Hole 480 during glacial periods (homogeneous zones) and a predominance of upwelling conditions during interglacial periods (laminated zones). Other evidence from diatom and silicoflagellate floral analysis seems to support these preliminary conclusions.
