“…In this case climatic variations influence the transfer of the detrital argillaceous fraction, coming from the platform top or the adjacent continental areas, and the carbonate sedimentation, which is constituted by benthic, pelagic, or winnowed platform top material. It was already shown that the lithological variations, induced by the variations of the Earth's orbit parameters in the MILANKOVITCH band (periods from 20 to 400 kyr; BERGER, 1978aBERGER, , 1978bLASKAR, 1988;BERGER & LOUTRE, 1991;LASKAR et al, 2004LASKAR et al, , 2011 were appropriate to establish a very precise time scale (e.g., HERBERT & D'HONDT, 1990;ten KATE & SPRENGER, 1993;HILGEN et al, 1993HILGEN et al, , 1999HOU-SE & GALE, 1995;HERBERT, 1999;SHACKLETON et al, 1999;CLEMENS, 1999;HINNOV, 2000HINNOV, , 2005PÄLIKE et al, 2001;GALEOTTI et al, 2003;HENNE-BERT & DUPUIS, 2003;DINARÈS-TURELL et al, 2003;LOURENS et al, 2005aLOURENS et al, , 2005bFIET et al, 2006;PÄLIKE et al, 2006;SPROVIERI et al, 2006;HINNOV & OGG, 2007;WESTERHOLD et al, 2007WESTERHOLD et al, , 2008HENNEBERT et al, 2009;HENNEBERT, 2012).…”
