We also mapped off-splice core segments to the revised splice to accommodate for lateral variations in thickness of stratigraphic features, making most off-splice core material available for sampling on a consistent depth scale. The revised composite depth scale and splice for Site U1406, integrated across all three holes, enables placement of the records from Site U1406 into a larger Expedition 342–wide and global framework. This forms a fundamental step toward a continuous magnetostratigraphy and astrochronologic framework for key intervals recovered at Site U1406. |
