The Cretaceous Long Normal Polarity Chron (83-119 Ma)                   represents a 35 million year 'blind' spot in Pacific basin                      plate motion models based on marine magnetic anomalies.  To                     constrain the evolution of the Pacific basin.  This study will                  be a detailed paleomagnetic and paleontologic analysis of                       Cretaceous limestones from ten Pacific DSDP oceanic rise sites.                         The study differs in a fundamental way from much of the                 previous Pacific paleomagnetic DSDP studies.  Rather than                       studying basalts and producing a paleolatitude value for a                      given site at only a single age, the emphasis is on DSDP                        limestones which would yield several Paleolatitude values                       corresponding to a range of geologicages during which the                       limestone was deposited.  A key feature of this collaborative                   research is the development and use of a high-resolution                        biostratigraphic zonation for planktonic foraminifera studied                   in thin sections.  As a result, the Cretaceous limestones can                   be dated with increased precision and can be correlated with                    key biostratigraphic sections previously dated by foraminifera                  in this section.  Using automated facilities of the Stanford                    Paleomagnetic Laboratory and improved measurement techniques,                   it will be possible to obtain very rapidly paleolatitude                        information from various DSDP sites.  The results will help to                  interpret in detail the plate motions in the Pacific during the                 Cretaceous Long Normal Polarity Event.
