Depth versus age based on relative magnetic paleointensity correlations (Fig. 8) for all six investigated sites

In the figure, the average sedimentation rates are also indicated. The grey bands correspond to the time span of stadial+glacial periods. To the right, the blow-up of the area of the diagram covering 200 cm shows the AMS 14C dating for the last 20 ka, including error bars. (see Fig.9)The long, continuous paleointensity record (CON 01-603-2) has a resolution of ca. 350 years, and the resolution of its correlation with the reference curve is of ca. 3.5 ka or approximately every 10 samples (55 points of correlation span the last 200 ka). Such high resolution for telecorrelation might be more critical because of possible delays caused by differing remanence acquisition processes, local sedimentary or unresolved geochemical influences and regional nondipolar components of the geomagnetic field.
