A detailed d18O and d13C stratigraphy has been generated from analysis of well-preserved Albian - Early Maastrichtian foraminifera from Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Sites 511 and 327 (Falkland Plateau; ~58°S - 62°S paleolatitude) in the southern South Atlantic, and Cenomanian and Coniacian - Santonian foraminifera from DSDP Site 258 (Naturaliste Plateau; ~58°S paleolatitude) in the southern Indian Ocean. These results, when combined with previously published Maastrichtian stable isotope data from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 690 (Weddell Sea, ~65°S paleolatitude), provide new insight into the climatic and oceanographic history of the southern high latitudes during Middle-Late Cretaceous time. The planktonic foraminifer d18O curves reveal a gradual warming of surface waters from the Albian through the Cenomanian followed by extremely warm surface waters from the Turonian through the early Campanian. Long-term cooling of surface waters began in the late early Campanian and continued through the end of the Maastrichtian. The benthic foraminifer d18O record generally parallels changes in the oxygen isotopic curves defined by shallow-dwelling planktonic foraminifera. The vertical oxygen and carbon isotopic gradients were relatively low during the Albian - Cenomanian, high from the Turonian - Early Campanian, and then low during the late Campanian and Maastrichtian.

Radiolarians are abundant and well preserved in the Neogene of the Kerguelen Plateau. They are common and moderately to well preserved in the Oligocene sequences of Site 738, where the Eocene/Oligocene boundary was observed for the first time in subantarctic sediments, and Site 744. Radiolarians are absent from all glacial sediments from Prydz Bay. Classical Neogene stratigraphic markers were tabulated at all sites. Correlations with paleomagnetic ages were made at Sites 745 and 746 for 26 Pliocene-Pleistocene radiolarian events. Many Miocene to Holocene species are missing from Sites 736 and 737, which were drilled in shallow water (less than 800 m). The missing species are considered to be deepliving forms. Occurrences and relative abundances of morphotypes at six sites are reported. Two new genera (Eurystomoskevos and Cymaetron) and 17 new species (Actinomma kerguelenensis, A. campilacantha, Prunopyle trypopyrena, Stylodictya tainemplekta, Lithomelissa cheni, L. dupliphysa, Lophophaena(?) thaumasia, Pseudodictyophimus galeatus, Lamprocyclas inexpectata, L. prionotocodon, Botryostrobus kerguelensis, B. rednosus, Dictyoprora physothorax, Eucyrtidium antiquum, E.(?) mariae, Eurystomoskevos petrushevskaae, and Cymaetron sinolampas) are described from the middle Eocene to Oligocene sediments at Sites 738 and 744. Twenty-seven stratigraphic events are recorded in the middle to late Eocene of Site 738, and 27 additional stratigraphic datums are recorded, and correlated to paleomagnetic stratigraphy, in the early Oligocene at Sites 738 and 744. Eight radiolarian events are recorded in the late Oligocene at Site 744. New evolutionary lineages are proposed for Calocyclas semipolita and Prunopyle trypopyrena.
