Palaeocene Core from the Norwegian Basin

Nature volume 216, pages 357–359 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

DURING the second cruise of the Atlantic Seal, the Texas Instruments, Inc., contract oceanographic research vessel, a Palaeocene core was taken from the Norwegian basin at 66° 21′ N. and 00° 18′ E. (Fig. 1). The collection and analysis of the core were part of the US Naval Oceanographic Office, Marine Geophysical Survey Project. The occurrence of this core is important for several reasons: it provides knowledge of the diversity of Palaeocene planktonic organisms in a high latitude; and it establishes the existence of a seaway in this part of the North Atlantic in Palaeocene times.
