Figure F7. Bulk sediment delta18O values from Site 1039 correlated to middle Miocene delta18O records from pelagic section at equatorial Pacific Site 574 (Woodruff and Savin, 1991). Minimum troughs were matched to delta18O Events A–F (Woodruff and Savin, 1991). Note that the absolute values are not comparable between the two sites because of lithologic differences, but relative trends and the amplitudes of negative delta18O excursions allow for a robust correlation. VPDB = Vienna Peedee belemnite.
