  1. Spectral techniques include eTimeOpt_Prec_SE, corresponding to the eTimeOpt technique focussing on the modulation of precession by short eccentricity; eTimeOpt_SE_LE, corresponding to the eTimeOpt technique focussing on the modulation of short eccentricity by long eccentricity and ORTA Optimized Relative Timing Approach. Records includes magnetic susceptibility (MS), Log Ti and Carbon isotopes (δ13C). Results are expressed as the duration of the whole record in kyr, sedimentation rate (SedRate in cm/kyr), duration of the interval between the onset of the Lower Kellwasser (LKW) Carbon isotopic excursion and Frasnian–Famennian (F–F) boundary; and difference with median value.
