Abstract
A biostratigraphic and biochronological study from the late Neogene–Quaternary section of Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 807A, located on the Ontong Java Plateau, western equatorial Pacific, revealed 50 planktic foraminiferal events, enabling the identification of eight late Neogene–Quaternary biozones, from the Globorotalia plesiotumida Interval Zone to the Globorotalia truncatulinoides Interval Zone. A significant faunal turnover (17 events) from late Pliocene identified in cores 7 and 8, between 70 and 55 meters below seafloor (mbsf), and spanning 0.67 million years (Myr). This noteworthy turnover may be the result of a shift in oceanographic conditions pertaining to the closure of the Indo–Pacific Seaway, followed by the Northern Hemisphere Glaciation. This study provides a high resolution biostratigraphic and biochronological framework for ODP Site 807A that will aid in correlation and timing the various paleoceanographic changes over the last 6 million years in the western equatorial Pacific.
