| + | The New Caledonia Basin (NCB), SW Pacific, a deep bathyal to abyssal basin bordered by the Lord Howe Rise to the west and the Norfolk Ridge to the east, has received little scrutiny with regards to the taxonomic diversity of benthic organisms in its Quaternary to Recent deep sea sediments. In 2001, gravity core GC4 was extracted from the NCB and the uppermost 141 cm, representing approximately the last 140 000 years, was investigated for chemical isotopic, carbonate, non-carbonate and trace element signatures. ...... <BR/> | ||
