The data set "Grenoble ball mill" is based on the published data set (Lourantou et al. 2010) and measured on the EDC96 core. The ages of this data set is recalculated and transferred from the EDC3 age scale to the age scale of Lemieux-Dudon et al., 2010. Additionally, an offset correction was applied to the d13C measurements. All data were shifted by 0.16 per mil towards heavier values.

Species abundances: V (very rare) = <1 specimen per 50 fields (<0.04%), R (rare) = 1 specimen per 11-50 fields (~0.04%-0.2%), F (few) = 1 specimen per 2-10 fields (~0.2%-1%), C (common) = 1-5 specimens per field (~1%-5%), A (abundant) = 6-25 specimens per field (~5%-25%), W (very abundant) = >25 specimens per field (>25%), - = absent.

* No pore water data are available for MAC-12. In 3 out of 4 MAC cores the lower limit of the AOM zone is less than 10 cm deep; the lower limit in MAC-12 is set at 10 cm. In MAC-10 the lower limit of the AOM was not reached.

Six oil samples were from the same oil field but different oil wells: light oil, heavy oil samples A, B, C, D and E. We measured their viscosity with different shear rates at three temperatures, using Anton Paar rotation viscometer.

Note that in the NW Pacific, Sarnthein et al. (2007) have no reliable estimate of reservoir age correction at 14270 14C age. They estimate that the reservoir correction is reduced to 300 yr during H1. Using a reservoir correction of 300 y instead of 450 y at 41.5cm results in a calendar age of 16,600 yr and reduces the sedimentation rate to 4.1 cm/ky.

Curated sediment depth is given in mbsf.
