| The depths are in meters composite depth (Mcd) | ||||||||||
| * Time (kyr) at ODP Site 690 relative to the P-E boundary set to 55 Ma. Ages are from Roehl et al. (2000) and Farley and Eltgroth (2003). | ||||||||||
| For tie points G & H, because of the large differences in the two age models, we used the means for the 208 age model. | ||||||||||
| ** Magnetic susceptibility tie points are from ODP Leg 208 Initial Reports volume (Zachos, Kroon, Blum et al., 2004) | ||||||||||
| ***For Sites 1262, 1266, & 1267, the depths of tie points C & B were estimated by linear interpolation between points D & A | ||||||||||
| using the temporal relationship established at Site 1263. | ||||||||||
