Notes. Model O is the optimised model from Henke et al. (2013).

(a)

The value given in Henke et al. (2013) was 2.026 Ma, but this is a typographical error. The correct value is given in this table.

(b)

Calculated for a new definition of the distance between data points and temperature evolution curve, see Henke et al. (2015).

(c)

Re-calculated with an improved algorithm for finding the burial depths of the meteorites.
