M. Beddow, D. A. Hodell, N. Rohlfs, R. H. Wilkens, M. Lyle, D. B. Bell, D. Kroon, H. Pälike, L. J. Lourens

“…We identify three phases with distinctly different orbital controls on Southeast Atlantic CaCO<span class="inline-formula">₃</span> deposition, corresponding to major developments in climate, the cryosphere and the carbon cycle: (1) strong <span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 110 kyr eccentricity pacing prevails during Oligocene–Miocene global warmth (<span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 30–13 Ma), (2) increased eccentricity-modulated precession pacing appears after the middle Miocene Climate Transition (mMCT) (<span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 14–8 Ma), and (3) pervasive obliquity pacing appears in the late Miocene (<span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 7.7–3.3 Ma) following greater importance of high-latitude processes, such as increased glacial activity and high-latitude cooling. …”
