Notes: Age from biostratigraphy. Volcanic components in >63-µm fraction of core catcher sample are represented by A = abundant, C = common, P = present, and R = rare. Volcanic components not abundant in Sections 183-1139A-27R-CC through 33R-CC and beyond 39R-CC in Unit II. T = discrete tephra are present in the core from which the core catcher was examined, TT = two tephra layers. Blanks = volcanic component not detected. Gray bar = Sections 183-1139A-27R-CC through 33R-CC contain no data.
