Age models based on palaeomagnetic measurements for the two cores analysed, CON01-603-2 (Continent Ridge) and VER98-1-14 (Academician Ridge) showing the correlation points to the reference record
Palaeomagnetism was the method used for dating sediments older than the time span covered by AMS 14C dating. Geomagnetic palaeointensities recorded in Lake Baikal sediments were tuned to a reference curve (the record from ODP Site 984, Channell, 1999) whose chronology is well constrained (Demory et...

| Summary: | Palaeomagnetism was the method used for dating sediments older than the time span covered by AMS 14C dating. Geomagnetic palaeointensities recorded in Lake Baikal sediments were tuned to a reference curve (the record from ODP Site 984, Channell, 1999) whose chronology is well constrained (Demory et al., 2005a-this volume and Demory et al., 2005b-this volume). The palaeointensity record from ODP Site 984 is of high quality, is well dated and covers the time span of the present study. Anchored by a geomagnetic excursion (the Iceland basin event, dated at 186–189 ka according to Channell et al. (1997)), this age model is constrained by 55 correlation points for a time span of ca. 200 ky. The age models for both core sections in the interval 100–150 ky are shown in Fig. 2. |
