Description:
New age models for twelve Deep Sea Drilling Project sites in the North Pacific have been produced, based on (in order of importance in our dataset) a recompilation of previously published diatom, calcareous nannofossil and foraminifer first and last occurrences, and magnetostratigraphy. The projected ages of radiolarian first and last occurrences derived from the line of correlation of the age/depth plots have been computed from these sites, and 28 radiolarian events have thereby been newly cross calibrated to North Pacific diatom and other stratigraphy. Several of the North Pacific radiolarian events are older than in previously published equatorial Pacific calibrations, and some may be diachronous within the North Pacific. These patterns may be due to complex latitudinal patterns of clinal variation in morphotypes within lineages, or to migration events from the North Pacific towards the Equator.
