The cores contained 18 thick (major event) high-density layers (16 turbidites and two volcanic ash; >1 cm thick), and both lithological observations and density variations in the hemipelagic mud that is dominant in the cores revealed a further 55 thin (minor event) high-density layers (}, issn = {1367-9120}, doi = {10.1016/j.jseaes.2012.07.002}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1367912012002957}, author = {Kuwae, Michinobu and Yamamoto, Masanobu and Ikehara, Ken and Irino, Tomohisa and Takemura, Keiji and Sagawa, Takuya and Sakamoto, Tatsuhiko and Ikehara, Minoru and Takeoka, Hidetaka} }
