Figure F11. Depth-age relationship for Site 1096 based on geomagnetic reversals (X) and diatom (dark bars) and radiolarian (circles) datums. Paleomagnetic data were drawn from shipboard analysis of cores. Diatom and radiolarian datum intervals are marked with a circle (radiolarian) and with a dark bar (diatom). In labels indicating species identity, B = base/first occurrence and T = top/last occurrence. Sedimentation rates (underlined) for selected intervals are adjacent to the corresponding curve. Vertical solid arrows indicate dominant age-diagnostic fossil type (biosiliceous vs. calcareous) for respective intervals of this site. The dashed vertical line below B Fragilariopsis interfrigidaria datum interval indicates range of published depths for this datum.
