Abstract
The Late Miocene O isotope stratigraphy in DSDP [deep sea drilling project] Site 158 can be correlated to the paleomagnetic reversal record using planktonic diatoms. Two O isotope events that record, in part, the growth of the East Antarctic ice sheet are tied in this way to the lower part of Magnetic Epoch 11 and the lower part of Magnetic Epoch 10 (.apprx. 11 and 10 Ma [mega-annum], respectively).This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
