Extended Data Table 1. Locations, conventional and calibrated AMS 14C dates on calcareous microfossils from the investigated sediment cores.

Coring devices: GBC: giant box core, GC: gravity core. Sample depths are given in centimetres below seafloor (cmbsf; top of CC: sample was taken from top of core catcher, corresponding to 652 cmbsf). All 14C-dates were corrected using an offset (ΔR) of 700±200 years from the global marine reservoir effect (R) of 400 years. The corrected 14C-dates were calibrated with the CALIB Radiocarbon Calibration Program version 7.1html54 (http://calib.qub.ac.uk/calib/) using the MARINE13 calibration dataset55. Uncorrected dates (= 14C age) are given in 14C years before present (BP) with their errors given as 1 s.d. range. Calibrated dates are given as maximum and minimum ages (2 s.d. range) as well as median and mean ages in calibrated years BP. Dated calcareous microfossils: bF: benthic foraminifera, Bp: brachiopods, Bz: bryozoans, E: echinoid spines, F: mixed benthic and planktonic foraminifera, O: ostracods, P: pteropods, pF: planktonic foraminifera, S: unspecified calcareous shell fragments.
