(1985): Palaeotectonic implications of increased late Eocene-early Oligocene volcanism from South Pacific DSDP sites.

Abstract:
Late Eocene-early Oligocene (42-35 Myr) sediments cored at two DSDP sites in the south-west Pacific contain evidence of a pronounced increase in local volcanic activity, particularly in close association with the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. This pulse of volcanism is coeval with that in New Zealand and resulted from the development of an Indo- Australian/Pacific Plate boundary through the region during the late Eocene. The late Eocene/earliest Oligocene was marked by widespread volcanism and tectonism throughout the Pacific and elsewhere, and by one of the most important episodes of Cenozoic climatic cooling.
