Notes: TWT = two-way traveltime in seconds. Reflector T5 is adopted from Chen et al. (1987), as given in table 1 of L&W. We indicate the approximate correlation of Leg 184 reflectors with the L&W sequence. However, in a number of sites (especially Sites 1146 and 1148), we find multiple reflectors over an age interval that roughly correlates with the L&W reflector chronology. * indicates that the estimates of depth and age are derived from downward continuation of the velocity and linear sedimentation rate structure from the base of the cored section. Hence, these estimated values are approximate at best.
