Abundance of calcareous nannofossils in ODP Hole 121-752B (Table 1)

A biostratigraphically complete Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary was recovered during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 121. The boundary, cored in ODP Hole 752B on Broken Ridge, is the most expanded deep-sea section yet recovered by ODP/DSDP. The initial Danian subzone, CP la, spans nearly 5 m and the underlying uppermost Maestrichtian Nephrolithus frequens Zone extends 50 m below the boundary. The paleolatitude of Broken Ridge at Cretaceous/Tertiary time is estimated at 50°-55°S which includes this site among the latest in a series of complete or near complete high southern latitude Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary sections recovered by ODP (Leg 113 Site 690 and Leg 119 Site 738). The boundary at Site 752 lies at the base of a thick (6-6.5 m) volcanic ash unit composed of multiple ash layers which overlies indurated Maestrichtian chalks. Magnetostratigraphy indicates that the boundary lies within Subchron 29R, which is the case for all other known complete sections for which the polarity has been determined. Anomalous abundances of the trace element iridium are present at the boundary. A second iridium peak, 80 cm above the boundary, corresponds to an increase in redeposited Cretaceous nannofossils. The nannofossil succession is similar to that found at previously studied austral high-latitude ODP drill sites with few differences due to the more northerly location of this site. Individual nannofossil species were counted and placed into three categories. A plot of the percent abundance of Cretaceous, Tertiary, and 'survivor' groups illustrates the rapid replacement of the Cretaceous nannoflora by 'survivor' forms beginning at the boundary and the dominance of this latter group through the initial Danian biozone. This 'survivor' or opportunistic assemblage is then rapidly replaced by newly evolved Tertiary taxa. The assemblage of the uppermost Maestrichtian is biased toward dissolution-resistant forms such as Micula decussata. In those few intervals where preservation is good, the dissolution susceptible species, Prediscosphaera stoveri, is more prevalent and overall diversity of the assemblage is higher. The 'survivor' assemblage is dominated by Zygodiscus sigmoides and Thoracosphaera. The Tertiary assemblage consists of rare Biantholithus sparsus, the first of this group to appear. It is followed several meters upsection by Cruciplacolithus primus. Cruciplacolithus tenuis and small Prinsius spp. dominate the assemblage beginning at about 5 m above the boundary.

Hydrothermal deposits "sensu stricto" have been recovered during the FAMOUS cruise and Leg 54 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project near the Galapagos Spreading Centre. The studied sediments, mainly composed of clay material, have very poor REE concentrations, below about ten ppm. The shale-normalized patterns are characterized by a significant enrichment in heavy rare earths and show a negative Ce anomaly. The magnitude of this anomaly fluctuates but is generally lower than the seawater Ce anomaly. The geochemical characteristics of these hydrothermal deposits are in contrast with those of metalliferous sediments which are more enriched in trace elements, especially in REE.

The chemical index of alteration (CIA) and elemental ratios that are sensitive to chemical weathering, such as Ca/Ti, Na/Ti, Al/Ti, Al/Na, Al/K, and La/Sm, were analyzed for detrital sediments at Ocean Drilling Program Site 1148 from the northern South China Sea to reveal information of chemical weathering in the source regions during the early Miocene. High CIA values of ~80, coupled with high Al/Ti and Al/Na and low Na/Ti and Ca/Ti, are observed for the sediments at ~23 Ma, indicating a high chemical weathering intensity in the north source region, i.e., south China. This was followed by gradual decreases in Al/Ti, Al/Na, La/Sm, and Al/K ratios, as well as the CIA values, and increases in Ca/Ti and Na/Ti ratios. These records together with other paleoclimate proxies, such as black carbon d13C and benthic foraminifer d18O, give reliable information on the climate changes in south China. Our results show that the climate in south China was warm and humid in the early Miocene (~23 Ma) according to the chemical weathering records. The humidity in south China decreased from the early Miocene to Present with several fluctuations centering at approximately 15.7 Ma, 8.4 Ma, and 2.5 Ma, coincident with the global cooling since the middle Miocene. These climate changes implied that the summer east Asian monsoon has dramatically affected south China in the early Miocene, whereas the influence of the summer monsoon on this region has decreased continuously since that time, probably because of the intensification of the winter monsoon. Such an evolution for the east Asian monsoon is different from that for the Indian monsoon.

"Written by an anonymous Celestine monk in the 1470s at Notre Dame D'Ambert near Orleans ... an interesting example of devotional literature in the vernacular written by the Celestines for women. The complicated story behind this text (which survives in only two manuscripts), however, is even more interesting, since its source is the Miroir des simples âmes (Mirror of Simple Souls) by the mystical writer, Marguerite Porete, who was burnt at the stake as a relapsed heretic in Paris in 1310"--Textmanuscripts.com
