Notes: * = Bottom depth is used for each cuttings sample representing a 5 m interval. LO = last occurrence, LCO = last consistent occurrence, RE = reentrance, PE = paracme end, FCO = first consistent occurrence, FO = first occurrence. Degree of reliability: A = distinct, well defined, and based on LO; B = indistinct and less well defined but based on LO; C = distinct and well defined but based on FO; D = indistinct, poorly defined, and based on FO or incomplete range (modified from Raffi et al., 2006, to accommodate the status of stratigraphic occurrence in cuttings at Site C0009).
