Notes: * = reflectors sampled and dated elsewhere, traced to Expedition 313 holes with difficulty, but sampled only in spot-cored intervals. † = reflectors sampled and dated during Expedition 313 for the first time but not yet rigorously mapped across the available seismic grid to determine the type of stratigraphic surface based on geometry. Columns labeled by the reference that either generated the reflector name or carried it forward from previous work are arranged from earliest naming on left to the most recent Expedition 313 designations on the right. The stratigraphically oldest reflectors are at the bottom; youngest are at the top.
