Regional integration

The revised splice can be readily correlated with piston Cores 96/12-1PC and PS-2185-6 based on similarities in downhole variations in bulk density, magnetic susceptibility, and paleomagnetic inclination. To highlight the correlation between the sites, Core 96/12-1PC and PS-2185-6 data are migrated onto the rmcd scale of the ACEX composite. The projected bulk density profiles are exceptionally well correlated and can be corroborated by the alignment of prominent sedimentary features common at all sites (Fig. F11). These include a significant drop in the >63 µm size fraction that occurs at 4.65 rmcd in the ACEX record and two peach-colored clay layers composed exclusively of very fine grained sediment (identified in the higher resolution grain size sampling in Core 96/12-1PC) (Jakobsson et al., 2001).
