(Table 1) Age model and sedimentation rates of ODP Site 162-983 sediments

Sediment depth is given in mcd. All depth-age pairs are based on planktonic foraminiferal d18O stratigraphic picks from J. McManus (unpubl. data) and Channell et al. (1998, doi:10.1038/28833), with the exception of the depth and age of the Brunhes/Matuyama boundary (780 ka), Jaramillo top (990 ka), Jaramillo bottom (1070 ka), and last occurrence of Gephyrocapsa spp. A/B (N) (1230 ka), which are used as reported in Jansen, Raymo, Blum, et al. (1996, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.162.1996).
