Figure F53. Depth-age relationship for Site 1096 on the basis of geomagnetic reversals (X), biostratigraphic diatom ranges (dark bars), and radiolarian datums (circles). Paleomagnetic data were drawn from shipboard analysis of cores. Intervals of diatom datums are marked with a dark bar indicating the distance between the samples used to define the FO or LO interval. In labels showing species identity, B = first occurrence, T = last occurrence. Sedimentation rates (underlined) for selected intervals are adjacent to the corresponding curve. Vertical solid arrows = dominant age-diagnostic fossil type (biosiliceous vs. calcareous) for respective intervals of this site. Dashed vertical line below B F. interfrigidaria datum interval indicates range of published depths for this datum.
