Brief description
The core description highlights the stark contrast been glacial and interglacial periods. 1-1.5m bands of red/brown clay indicate interglacial periods, which then alternate with 1-1.5m bands of light grey foraminifera sand and dark grey clays deposited during the glacial periods.Lineage
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: The timing of the interglacial (red = warm periods) and glacial (blue = cold interglacial cycles) are based on 18O records of Globigerinoides ruber within the core.
Parameters: Depth of core (cm), isotope stages, written description of core material at various depths.
Statement: Sample collected using a piston core

Purpose
To illustrate the change in sediment type over time, from light grey foraminiferal sands and dark grey brown clays during glacial periods to red brown clays during the interglacial periods.
