Gravity cores were acquired with a 5 m-long standard gravity corer during RV Maria S. Merian Cruise MSM82/2 (cores MSM82/2-34, MSM82/2-35 and MSM82/2-36). They were studied by color analysis, photography and sedimentological description. Accelerated Mass Spectrometry 14C-age dating of the planktonic foraminifera Globigerinoides ruber (Bonfardeci et al., 2018) was performed at the Leibniz Laboratory for Radiometric Dating and Stable Isotope Research at Kiel University. The Calib 704 and the Marine 13 calibration curve were applied to calibrate 14C age to calendar years (Reimer et al., 2013); the reservoir age was set to ±500 years (Mangerud and Gulliksen, 1975). ...
