Journal ArticleDOI
Revised calibration of the geomagnetic polarity timescale for the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic
Steven C. Cande,Dennis V. Kent +1 more
TL;DR: An adjusted geomagnetic reversal chronology for the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic is presented that is consistent with astrochronology in the Pleistocene and Pliocene and with a new timescale for the Mesozoic.
Book ChapterDOI
A revised Cenozoic geochronology and chronostratigraphy
TL;DR: Cande and Kent as mentioned in this paper presented a revised (integrated magnetobiochronologic) Cenozoic time scale (IMBTS) based on an assessment and integration of data from several sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new geomagnetic polarity time scale for the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic
Steven C. Cande,Dennis V. Kent +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relative widths of the magnetic polarity intervals for the entire Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic have been systematically determined from magnetic profiles from the world's ocean basins.
BookDOI
Geochronology, time scales and global stratigraphic correlation
TL;DR: A well-constructed geochronologic framework that allows estimation of rates of geologic processes, correlation of stratigraphies, and placement of discrete events in temporal order is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen isotope calibration of the onset of ice-rafting and history of glaciation in the North Atlantic region
Nicholas J Shackleton,Jan Backman,Jan Backman,H. Zimmerman,Dennis V. Kent,M.A. Hall,David G Roberts,Detmar Schnitker,Jack G. Baldauf,A. Desprairies,R. Homrighausen,P. Huddlestun,J.B. Keene,A. J. Kaltenback,K.A.O. Krumsiek,Andrew C. Morton,John W. Murray,J. Westberg-Smith +17 more
TL;DR: The first major horizon of ice-rafting occurred at about 2.4 Myr, and was preceded by a minor pulse of icerafting at 2.5 Myr as discussed by the authors, and the carbon isotope record shows that the site has been bathed by a water mass of similar characteristics to present-day North Atlantic deep water at least since 3.5
