(Table S1) Control points for the age model of ODP Site 181-1119

Sediment depth is given in mbsf. Age model generated by mapping from the tuned deuterium isotope record from Vostok (back to MIS 9.3; 0.35 Ma) (Shackleton, 2000) and the tuned oxygen isotope records from ODP Site 758, northern Indian Ocean (back to MIS Gi2; 3.64 Ma) (Chen et al., 1995), and Site 1143, South China Sea (back to MIS Gi11 at the base of the hole; 3.91 Ma) (Tian et al., 2002).
