Magneto-Biostratigraphy, Paleobathymetry, and Basin Subsidence History of Taiwan Coastal Range

This repository is the supplementary dataset used for sedimentary basin analysis in the Taiwan's Coastal Range. The results have been accepted for publication as Lai et al. (2022) Communications Earth & Environment. A portion of data for calculations are compiled from Lai et al. (2021) Sedimentary Geology.

Four Microsoft Excel spreadsheets include sample information, data, and analytic results of rock paleomagnetism, calcareous nannoplankton biostratigraphy, planktonic foraminifera biostratigraphy, foraminifera-based paleobathymetry estimates, and basin subsidence analysis.

The R scripts developed for these analyses are stored in another Zenodo repository: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5823613
