  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;High-resolution seismic-reflection data collected along the length of the Caloosahatchee River in southwestern&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Florida&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;have been correlated to nannofossil biostratigraphy and strontium-isotope chemostratigraphy at six continuously cored boreholes. These data are interpreted to show a major&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Late&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Miocene(?) to Early Pliocene fluvial-deltaic depositional system that prograded southward across the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;carbonate&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Florida&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Platform&lt;span&gt;, interrupting nearly continuous&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;carbonate&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;deposition since early in the Cretaceous. Connection of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;platform&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;top to a continental source of siliciclastics and significant paleotopography combined to focus accumulation of an immense&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;supply&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of siliciclastics on the southeastern part of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Florida&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Platform&lt;span&gt;. The remarkably thick (&amp;gt; 100 m), sand-rich depositional system, which is characterized by clinoformal progradation, filled in deep accommodation, while antecedent paleotopography directed deltaic progradation southward within the middle of the present-day&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Florida&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Peninsula. The deltaic depositional system may have prograded about 200 km southward to the middle and upper&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Florida&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Keys, where&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Late&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Miocene to Pliocene&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;siliciclastic&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;form the foundation of the Quaternary&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;carbonate&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;shelf and shelf margin of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Florida&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Keys. These far-traveled&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;siliciclastic&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;deposits filled accommodation on the southeastern part of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Florida&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Platform&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;so that paleobathymetry was sufficiently shallow to allow Quaternary recovery of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;carbonate&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;sedimentation in the area of southern peninsular&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Florida&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Florida&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Keys.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
