The causes of these differences are also discussed.completedStratigraphyalgaeCenozoiccontinental shelfcorrelationDeep Sea Drilling ProjectDSDP Site 296Leg 31marginal seasmarine environmentmicrofossilsnannofossilsNorth PacificNorthwest PacificPacific OceanpaleoecologyPlantaeSouth China SeaTertiarythallophytesWest Pacificurn:org.iodp:exp:31urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:31:site:296urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:31urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignChinesegeoscientificInformation109.0000109.000018.000018.0000
