An additional six samples were measured from a unique sand layer and adjacent sediments that are dated at approximately 1.6 Ma. These 93 sediment samples are all silts and muds that were deposited on a continental rise drift of the Antarctic Peninsula. No evidence of the Eltanin impact deposit was found in this study.completedStratigraphyAntarctic OceanAntarctic PeninsulaAntarcticaasteroidsCenozoicclastic sedimentscontinental risecoresEltanin AsteroidimpactsLeg 178lithostratigraphymarine sedimentsNeogeneOcean Drilling Programocean floorsODP Site 1096PliocenesandsedimentssiltTertiaryupper Plioceneurn:org.iodp:exp:178urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:178:site:1096urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:178urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-76.5749-76.5749-67.3401-67.3401Data report; available only on CD-ROM in PDF format and on the Web in PDF or HTML; access date Feb. 24, 2002application/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogueana.macario@awi.dehttp://sedis.iodp.org/pub-catalogue/informationpointOfContacthttp://www-odp.tamu.edu/publications/178_SR/VOLUME/CHAPTERS/SR178_09.PDFdownload
