Astronomical calibration of the Paleocene time (2008, methodology): “…out of phase beyond 42 Ma. Due to the chaotic motion of planets in the inner Solar System an accurate age determination of successive minima in the very long eccentricity cycle used as tie points to define a first order orbitally tuned time scale (e.g. Shackleton et al., 2000; Pälike et al., 2004”
Oligocene climate dynamics (2004, background): “Miocene have shown a pervasive imprint of orbital frequencies in various climate proxies and stable isotope measurements [ Shackleton et al., 1999a, 2000; Paul et al., 2000; Zachos et al., 2001b; Billups et al., 2002, 2004].”
Source of oceanic magnetic anomalies and the geomagnetic polarity time scale (2007, methodology): “The largest difference between CK95 and GTS2004 is less than 1 My and occurs at chron C6Cn.2n, which was set at 23.8 1 Ma in CK95 but has been recalibrated using astrochronology to 23.03 0.04 Ma (Lourens et al., 2004; Shackleton et al., 2000).”
