Abstract

The DSDP Site 237 in the central Indian Ocean is suitable for the Miocene deep-sea benthic foraminiferal study because of continuity of sequence, good preservation and abundance of benrliic fauna. A total of 166 benthic foraminiferal species are recorded from the Miocene sequence at this site. Detailed analysis of quantitative benthic foraminiferal data integrated with stable isotope records reveal few marked changes in the phsico-chemical behaviour of the central Indian Ocean bottom waters during the Miocene.
