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
