Abstract

Site 965 is located south of Cyprus on the fault-controlled upper slope of the Eratosthenes Seamount. During drilling of Hole 965A, carbonate samples from different time intervals were recovered. In the present study, one early Pliocene and ten Miocene carbonate samples were analyzed for their mineralogy, major elements (Ca, Mg), trace elements (Sr, Mn, Fe, P₁O₃TiO₂), and stable isotopes (¹³C, ¹⁸O, ³⁴S). It is the purpose of this study to present initial results on the geochemical composition of these carbonates as a base for a future detailed investigation to estimate the paleoenvironment from the carbonate geochemistry.
