The value of equilibrium temperature for the anomalous runs actually represents the baseline value recorded during this equilibration interval. Errors are estimated based on factors discussed in the text. b K indicates the average, corrected thermal conductivity value used to convert from depth to resistance. No laboratory thermal conductivity data were obtained in cores recovered from deeper than 210 mbsf, and 0.98 W/(m*K) was adopted for all in situ temperature measurements deeper than Core 164-994C-25X.
