* Inverse weighted average; when age range, we suppose a normal distribution. † With or without related karst data, average ∼ 1150 ka; an uncertainty of 150 ka satisfactorily encompasses the various estimates. ‡ Average with uncertainty encompassing the various estimates. ◊ Value satisfying both paleomagnetic constraints and the age estimates for C and E.
