Accurate dating of marine sediments is essential to reconstruct past changes in oceanography and climate (Bronk Ramsey, 2009;Huybers & Wunsch, 2004;Lisiecki & Lisiecki, 2002). Global stacks, compilations or splices of long-term oxygen isotope records related to ice volume and temperature are commonly applied to correlate deep ocean records, and to construct age models (De Vleeschouwer et al., 2017;Lisiecki & Raymo, 2005;Zachos et al., 2001). However, for proximal settings with high sedimentation rates such stacks cannot always be used. The supply of large amounts of sediments may dilute the number of microfossils in the sediment to such a degree that geochemical analyses needed to perform the correlation to a global
