Description:
In this data report we present results from stable isotope measurements (d13C and d18O) on bulk sediment at several sites located on a transect along a subduction margin offshore Costa Rica (Ocean Drilling Program Sites 1039, 1040, and 1253). Comparison of stable isotope compositions (d13C and d18O) of the pelagic carbonates Subunit U3C between the reference sites (Site 1039 and 1253) and the underthrust section (Site 1040) reveals similar d13C values and minor differences in d18O values within four specific intervals. Isotope stratigraphy was then used to further constrain the shipboard age models based on bio- and magnetostratigraphy. The resulting age models are in agreement with those derived from biostratigraphy and confirm that the sedimentation rate of the lower Subunit 3C is roughly constant on the order of 50 m/m.y. This is in contrast with the postulated very high sedimentation rates at ~12.7 Ma and lower sedimentation rates (~18 m/m.y.) in the lower part of the section between 16 and 13 Ma, as suggested by shipboard magnetostratigraphic datums.
