Abstract
This study is part of the Project Lithology and Organic Geochemistry of the Atlantic Black Shales. The biostratigraphic and paleoenvironmental results are based on new investigations of foraminifers and nannoplankton from several closely sampled Deep Sea Drilling sites in the Sout h Atlantic (Falkland Plateau: 327, 330 and 511; Cape Basin: 361; Angola Basin: 264; Walvis Ridge: 363 and 530; Rio Grande Rise: 356, 357 and 516). It was possible to precise previously published data about the age of the sedimentary sequences, duration of heatuses, sediment accumulation rates, and paleoceanographic changes. A chronostratigraphic correlation of the different sites is given, the paleoenvironmental observations are summarized and synthetized for the South Atlantic and compared with the main events in the North Atlantic.
