Abstract
Two deep-sea cores from the central Caribbean have been dated by the thorium-230/ protactinium-231 method. The ages obtained are in agreement with the ages previously obtained from other deep-sea cores from the same area. Because of their greater precision, the new dates provide a more accurate time scale for the past 170,000 years.Keywords
