Improved astronomically tuned timescales for the Late Neogene (abstract of paper presented at EUG X, Strasbourg, France, 28 Mar - 1 Apr 1999)

Recent attempts to tune geological timescales to Milankovitch-type cycles rely on matching features in proxy records to astronomically calculated obliquity and precession cycles. They often use tuning targets such as the 65°N summer insolation curve. It has been shown (Laskar 1993) that the exact po...
