Figure F4. Simplified schematic lithostratigraphy of Site 1095 showing dominant lithology, intensity of bioturbation, and distribution of turbidite Facies L1, L2, and L3 (see Figs. F10, F11, F12). Arrows show broad trends in frequency of sand and silt laminations and facies types, which are attributed to long-term "first-order" cycles in Unit II (see Fig. F5). Shorter term, "second-order" cycles, interpreted as glacial-interglacial, are defined top and bottom by intensely bioturbated intervals. These climatically driven cycles are superimposed on the long-term cycles. Well-developed glacial-interglacial cycles of Unit I are highlighted in Figure F6. See interpretation and discussion in the text. (Continued on next page.)
