TLDR
The core Vema 28-238 as discussed by the authors preserves an excellent oxygen isotope and magnetic stratigraphy and is shown to contain undisturbed sediments deposited continuously through the past 870,000 yr.About:

Variations in the Earth's Orbit: Pacemaker of the Ice Ages
TL;DR: It is concluded that changes in the earth's orbital geometry are the fundamental cause of the succession of Quaternary ice ages and a model of future climate based on the observed orbital-climate relationships, but ignoring anthropogenic effects, predicts that the long-term trend over the next sevem thousand years is toward extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciation.

Age dating and the orbital theory of the ice ages: Development of a high-resolution 0 to 300,000-year chronostratigraphy
Douglas G. Martinson,Nicklas G Pisias,James D. Hays,John Imbrie,Theodore C. Moore,Nicholas J Shackleton +5 more
TL;DR: Using the concept of "orbital tuning", a continuous, high-resolution deep-sea chronostratigraphy has been developed spanning the last 300,000 yr as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen isotopes and sea level
TL;DR: In this article, the authors re-examine the data and conclude that the temperature of the abyssal ocean has been an actively varying component of the climate system, and that there has been a discrepancy between the ice volume record that these records imply and that derived from the altitude of dated coral terraces around the world.

An alternative astronomical calibration of the lower Pleistocene timescale based on ODP Site 677
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of the timescale proposed by Imbrieet et al. for the ODP Site 677 has been proposed, based on the precession signal in the record from ODP site 677 that provides the basis for the revised timescale.
Paleotemperature history of the Cenozoic and the initiation of Antarctic glaciation : Oxygen and carbon isotope analyses in DSDP Sites 277,279, and 281
TL;DR: An oxygen and carbon isotopic history based on analyses of benthonic and planktonic foraminifera in three overlapping subantarctic sections is presented for the last 55 m.y. as mentioned in this paper.

Oxygen Isotope Profiles through the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets
TL;DR: The Camp Century, Greenland, deep ice core reveals seasonal variations in the isotopic composition of the ice back to 8,300 years BP as discussed by the authors. But the complexity of the glaciological regime at Byrd Station precludes a rational choice of a time scale.

Paleotemperature Analysis of Caribbean Cores P6304-8 and P6304-9 and a Generalized Temperature Curve for the past 425,000 Years
TL;DR: In this paper, two deep-sea cores from the central Caribbean have been analyzed and two sets of results are similar and differ 0.5" from samples that have been ground to powder and roasted in a stream of helium.

Sediment Cores from the East Pacific
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present Sediment Cores from the East Pacific, a collection of sediment cores from the Middle East and North America, collected by the Geologiska Foreningen i Stockholm Forhandlingar.

Pliocene-Pleistocene Sediments of the Equatorial Pacific: Their Paleomagnetic, Biostratigraphic, and Climatic Record
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the record of geomagnetic reversals during the last 4.5 m.y. y. in eastern equatorial Pacific deep-sea cores with the range of selected species of four major microfossil groups (diatoms, silicoflagellates, foraminifers and Radiolaria).

TL;DR: Data show a parallelism over the last 150,000 years between changes in Earth's climate and changes in the summer insolation predicted from cycles in the tilt and precession of Earth's axis.
