During the Late Neogene, the sediments of the Owen ridge (Arabian Sea) were able to record paleoclimatic variations because of tectonic stability and weak bio-turbation. These changes had a powerful influence on the western, northern and northeastern detrital supplies related to monsoon conditions and low-latitude aridity which developed during glaciary stages. In ODP Leg 117 sites, previous studies on the distribution of clay assemblages show a great variety of mineral origins and their fluctuating contribution to the Neogene sedimentation. Concurrent investigations of the sedimentological, magnetic, biogenic and geochemical properties of sediments have emphasized typical periodic sedimentary responses related to external forced functions of the earth's... |
