Two sets of benthic (bottom-surface) samples were
from the lagoon on Enewetak Atoll, Republic of the

Marshall

Islands,

during the PEACE Program

(1984-1985).

These samples were collected to (1) familiarize project
geologists with the distribution of sediment types and
facies within Enewetak lagoon, (2) increase
understanding of the distribution of modern microfaunas
in the lagoon, and (3) supplement studies of the
sea-floor features both within and near OAK and KOA
craters. The benthic sample studies aided both
evaluation of the stratigraphic sequence penetrated
during the Drilling Phase and interpretation of the
litho- and biostratigraphic framework used in analysis

Larger foraminiferal assemblages, including
Lepidocyclina orientalis, Miogypsina thecideaeformis,

Miogypsinoides dehaartii, etc., and a smalber

foraminifer, Austrotrillina striata, are used to
correlate upper Oligocene and lower Miocene strata in

the Pacific Atoll Exploration Program (PEACE) boreholes
at Enewetak Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands,

western Pacific Ocean, with the Te and Tf zones of the
previously established Tertiary Far East Letter
