Abstract

A high-resolution paleomagnetic record for the late Pleistocene has been obtained from the upper 146 m of the Pigmy Basin section recovered at DSDP Site 619. The record is characterized by a sequence of apparent geomagnetic excursions. If validated by future investigations, these excursions can be used to construct a regional high-resolution stratigraphic framework for the Gulf of Mexico. Variations in the rock-magnetic stratigraphy of Pigmy Basin are shown to correspond to variations in lithology. These observed variations probably reflect a combination of regional and local paleoenvironmental changes. -Author
