Notes: Data for Site S and Site C from Dymond and Lyle (1994) and Dymond et al. (1992). Their terminology for "rain" is "export flux." Estimated Corg values calculated from measured Ba in Leg 199 sediments and Ba/Corg ratios of modern surface sediments beneath upwelling regions (see text for full discussion). Rain flux estimated from sediment MARs except sites C and S (actual trap measurements). * = data excludes maxima at 41 Ma. † = maxima at 41 Ma. MAR = mass accumulation rate.
