A 37 m long piston core (KC-01B) was collected from the Calabrian Ridge in the Ionian Sea. Astronomical calibration of sapropels and sapropelic signals—based on rock-magnetic and geochemical properties—yields a very accurate time-frame for the last 1.1 Myr, with the exception of the interval (650–85...
