Abstract:
Six (super 14) C-age measurements of the carbonate fraction of sediments sampled from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 164 Site 991 are reported. These samples straddle the most recent sole of the Cape Fear Slide. These data indicate that a hiatus occurs at 2.06 mbsf that separates sediments with (super 14) C ages < or =10 ka from those with ages > or =26.9 ka. The hiatus corresponds with a stratigraphic boundary between soft, undisturbed sediment above and firmer, yet disturbed sediment below, and is believed to correspond with the most recent activity on the slide.
