Comparison of stable isotope compositions (delta (super 13) C and delta (super 18) O) of the pelagic carbonates Subunit U3C between the reference sites (Site 1039 and 1253) and the underthrust section (Site 1040) reveals similar delta (super 13) C values and minor differences in delta (super 18) O values within four specific intervals. Isotope stratigraphy was then used to further constrain the shipboard age models based on bio- and magnetostratigraphy. The resulting age models are in agreement with those derived from biostratigraphy and confirm that the sedimentation rate of the lower Subunit 3C is roughly constant on the order of 50 m/ m.y. This is in contrast with the postulated very high sedimentation rates at approximately 12.7 Ma and lower sedimentation rates ( approximately 18 m/m.y.) in the lower part of the section between 16 and 13 Ma, as suggested by shipboard magnetostratigraphic datums.completedStratigraphyIsotope geochemistrybiostratigraphyC-13/C-12carbonCenozoicCentral AmericachemostratigraphyCosta RicaEast Pacificgeochemistryisotope ratiosisotopesLeg 170Leg 205lithostratigraphymagnetostratigraphyMiddle America TrenchMioceneNeogeneNorth PacificNortheast PacificO-18/O-16Ocean Drilling ProgramoxygenPacific Oceanpelagic environmentstable isotopessubduction zonesTertiaryurn:org.iodp:exp:170urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:205urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-86.1200-86.05009.38009.4500Data report; available only on CD-ROM in PDF format and on the Web in PDF or HTMLapplication/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogueana.macario@awi.dehttp://sedis.iodp.org/pub-catalogue/informationpointOfContacthttp://www-odp.tamu.edu/publications/205_SR/VOLUME/CHAPTERS/205.PDFdownload
