Materials and methods
Here we focused on two sites: U1406 (40°21.0′N, 51°39.0′W; 3798.9 m water depth) and U1411 (41°37.1′N, 49°00′W; ~3300 m water depth) cored during Expedition 342. Site U1406 is located at J-Anomaly Ridge (Fig. F2). In the present study, we have applied a revised age model (van Peer et al., submitted). The investigated interval consists of carbonate-rich deposits spanning the middle Oligocene from Chrons C11r to C8n.2n as well as the Oligocene–Miocene transition (Fig. F3). Site U1411 is located at the southeast Newfoundland Ridge (Fig. F2). The studied interval consists of clay-rich sediment referred to lower to middle Oligocene (Chrons C13r–C8n.2n; Fig. F4). Our results are plotted against the shipboard magnetostratigraphic age model (see the "Site U1411" chapter [Norris et al., 2014b]) on Figure F4.
