The full name of each of these data points can be found in Chapters 4 and 5. Labels have been arranged so that in most cases the association between label and data point should be clear. However, the group to which a label belongs can also identified by conventions usually used for each group. Diatom event labels are 3 letters long, with the first letter and last letter in lowercase. Foram event labels are 4 letters long, first letter uppercase, the remaining letters usually lowercase.
Magnetostratigraphic events are all caps, and include the number of the polarity chron.
Nannofossil events are also 4 letters long, but the first two letters are usually uppercase and separated by a space.
