Key	Notes
a	uncertainty in ΔR does not include error in calibration curve
b	Inclusion in regional averages not advisable
c	location is approximate
d	radiocarbon age calculated from published Δ¹⁴C, D¹⁴C, or δ¹⁴C values
e	radiocarbon age calculated from published Δ¹⁴C, δ¹⁴C, or pM values after removal of age correction
f	radiocarbon age calculated from published Δ¹⁴C or δ¹⁴C values after removal of age correction and fossil fuel correction
g(n)	Exact year of death unknown. n=estimate of uncertainty in year of death, if available.
g(<)	Exact year of death unknown. Sample collected prior to year given by unknown number of years
midpoint(n)	For multiple samples of coral rings, n= number of years on either side of the midpoint. The radiocarbon age and error given is the weighted mean and standard deviation of the measurements.
h	Computation is based on the model mixed layer radiocarbon age calculated for AD 1950
j	radiocarbon age and error corrected for isotope fractionation with estimated δ¹³C and uncertainty
k	radiocarbon age normalized for isotope fractionation to δ¹³C = -25 per mil PDB instead of to 0 per mil as originally published
l	radiocarbon age calculated from percent modern after removal of decay from time of growth to 1950 in non-conventional percent modern and normalized for isotope fractionation to δ¹³C = -25 per mil PDB instead of to 0 per mil as originally published
m	meters of water depth

Habit
- epifauna are organisms that live upon the surface of sediments
- infauna are those organisms that live within particulate media such as sediments
Feeding
- suspension feeders (also known as filter feeders) are animals that feed by straining suspended matter from the water.
- deposit feeders are animals that feed by obtaining food particles in the sediment
- browsers are animals that consume plants
- carnivores are animals that feed by consuming other organisms.
- scavengers are animals that consume already dead organisms
- facultative indicates that the organism has more than one means of acquiring food
