Abstract

This study describes the planktonic foraminiferal assemblages of Holes C0002K and C0002L drilled during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 338 in the southern part of the Kumano forearc basin, northwestern Pacific Ocean. The stratigraphic interval of the studied holes is constrained within the Calabrian stage of the Pleistocene by onboard stratigraphic data. Thirty-six taxa belonging to fifteen genera of planktonic foraminifers were detected from the studied interval. Three biostratigraphic events of planktonic foraminifers were newly constrained at the present site. The planktonic foraminiferal assemblages mainly consist of mixed-water and cosmopolitan species associated with tropical and subtropical taxa.
