Figure F54. Sedimentation rate (cm/k.y.) vs. age (Ma) determined from geomagnetic polarity transitions and diatom and radiolarian datums for Site 1095. The top of the hole was assigned an age of zero. The data are given in Tables T38,  T39, and T40. The heavy line represents paleomagnetic data from the combined core and GHMT data set, the dashed line indicates radiolarian data, and the thin line is diatom data. The abrupt spike in the paleomagnetic data at 8.635-8.651 Ma corresponds to an interval that has been interpreted as Cryptochron C4r.2r-1. However, the age of this event is based on sparse data from marine magnetic anomalies (see "Paleomagnetism," in "Site 1095").
