(editor), Studies from the Cape Roberts Project; Ross Sea, Antarctica; scientific report of CRP-15 (3)515-520A fauna comprising 18 foraminiferal taxa was recovered from a suite of 52 core samples from lower Miocene sandstone, claystone and diamictite in the CRP-1 drillhole, Cape Roberts, Antarctica. The fauna is characterised by low foraminiferal abundance and diversity, the absence of planktics, and typically, the presence of Cribroelphidium sp.and/or Melonis spp. These factors indicate deposition in an inner shelf or nearshore environment. Many of the foraminifers found in CRP-1 also occur in the upper Oligocene-Miocene sequences in CIROS-1 and DSDP270, but the fauna provides no precise indication of age. Typical and distinctive species from CRP-1 are illustrated with SEM photomicrographs.completedStratigraphyAntarctic OceanAntarcticabiostratigraphyboreholesCape RobertsCape Roberts ProjectCenozoiccorescorrelationCRP-1 Boreholedepositional environmentForaminiferaInvertebratalower Miocenemarine environmentMcMurdo SoundmicrofossilsMioceneNeogenepaleoenvironmentprogramsProtistaRoberts RidgeRoss SeaSEM datashelf environmentSouthern Oceanspecies diversitytaxonomyTertiaryVictoria LandVictoria Land BasinEnglishgeoscientificInformation163.0000163.0000-77.0000-77.0000
