Abstract
The first occurrence of deep-sea Lower Cretaceous (Albian) sediments in the Pacific Ocean is reported from the Shatsky Rise at 31°51'N, 157°20'E. Seismic-profile records indicate that the core was taken between the extensive seismic reflectors Á and B. Two hundred meters of unconsolidated sediment lies between the core site and basement (B) and suiggests that the sediment just above basement may be at least as old as Middle Jurassic.Keywords
