Figure F2. Summary of the lithostratigraphic section and radiolarian biochronology Unitary Association Zones (UAZs) of Units IV and III in Hole 1149B. Correlation of carbon isotope stratigraphy and radiolarian biochronology of Pacific Site 1149 with the Capriolo section (southern Alps, north Italy). In Tethyan sections, such as Capriolo, carbon isotope curves and radiolarian biochronology were well calibrated with polarity chrons (Lini et al., 1992; Channell et al., 1993; Jud, 1994). Thanks to the shape of delta13C curve and radiolarian UAZ, the discontinuous recovered sedimentary section in Hole 1149B can, therefore, be indirectly correlated with polarity chrons. TD = total depth.
