a Lithostratigraphy25 and biostratigraphy28. b Geologic timescale31, regionally-inferred sequences23, and sedimentation rates. c Correlation of δ13C-based tie points, with local carbonate fine-fraction (depth domain) and global benthic foraminiferal (age domain) records. Inferred stratigraphic sequences follow (Miller et al. 2008) for SSQ and are here plotted against MGC age-model for comparison. Key: epoch – Pleistocene (Pl.); lithostratigraphic units – Forest Hill Formation (FH), Moodys Branch Formation (MB), Cockfield Formation (Cf); biostratigraphic events – first (FAD) and last appearance datum (LAD); study site – Mossy Grove Core (MGC); stratigraphic sequences – Moodys Branch–North Twistwood Creek Clay (MNT), Cocoa Sand–Pachuta Marl (CP), Pachuta Marl–Shubuta Marl (PS), and Bumpnose Formation–Red Bluff (BRB).
