For the mean time estimate, each program was given equal weight. For each data point, the first number shows the results obtained with the plant, insect and red algal calibration intervals, the second numbers shows the results obtained with the plant, insect and vertebrate calibration intervals, and the third number shows the estimate for all calibration intervals pooled.
