(Table 3) Age controll points and linear sedimentation rates of ODP Leg 171 sites

Sediment depth is given in mbsf. Magnetostratigraphy from Norris et al. (1998) and Ogg and Bardot (2001) used for Site 1050; magnetostratigraphy for Eocene and biostratigraphy for Paleocene in Hole 1051A below 544 mbsf because resolution and extent of magnetostratigraphic chrons in Paleocene are uncertain (Norris et al., 1998; Ogg and Bardot, 2001). Magnetostratigraphy used for upper and middle Eocene, combination of magnetostratigraphy and nannofossils used below ~163 mbsf for Holes 1052A/E.
