Notes: Globorotalia inflata was not observed in the sedimentary sequence at Site U1306, and the G. inflata and Globigerina bulloides Zones (Weaver and Clement, 1987) could not hence be verified by their zonal markers directly. Abundance: D = dominant, A = abundant, C = common, F = few, R = rare, P = present, B = barren. Preservation: VG = very good, G = good, M = moderate, P = poor (see “Foraminifers” in the “Site U1302–U1308 methods” chapter). d = dextral, s = sinistral.
