Creating an accurate age model for Antarctic sediment is difficult due to a general lack of preserved carbonate. Core 693A-2R, from the Ocean Discovery Program (ODP) Leg 113, is an exception. Cored in 2560 m of water, this 9.5 m long core contains abundant foraminifera. Site 693 is located adjacent...
