A total of 1200 m of FMS resistivity images from Site 1003 (lower slope) and Site 1005 (mid-slope) were divided into three image facies types, with the aid of calibration against the recovered core. Type 1 was conductive (poorly cemented) sediment dominated by pelagic components, Type 2 was resistive (well cemented) sediment dominated by platform (neritic) components, and Type 3 was highly resistive (very well cemented) sediment, usually calciturbidites but occasionally hardgrounds. Much of the section is composed of metre-scale alternations between Type 1 and Type 2 sediment. We have used the cycle thicknesses in the Middle Miocene to obtain a sedimentation rate curve and to refine the biostratigraphy. The cyclicity is modulated by the precessional astronomical cycle. The FMS images were used to evaluate the lithostratigraphic position and significance of prominent isolated uranium peaks. The peaks tend to occur just below the tops of calci-turbidite-rich units, sometimes coincident with sequence boundaries and maximum flooding surfaces.completedStratigraphyAtlantic OceanBahamascarbonate sedimentsCaribbean regionCaribbean SeaCenozoiccontinental slopecyclostratigraphyFormation MicroScannerGreat Bahama BankidentificationimageryLeg 166lithofaciesmarine sedimentsNeogeneNorth AtlanticOcean Drilling ProgramQuaternaryresistivitysea-level changessedimentationsedimentation ratessedimentsTertiaryturbiditeWest Indiesurn:org.iodp:exp:166urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-79.4500-79.000023.300025.0000Reprinted from Geological Society Special Publications, London, Vol. 159, p. 227-238, 1999application/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogue
