Ash-Mor et al. (2017) identified a 5 cm thick Mass Transport Deposit designated as Event E in R/V Mediterranean Explorer Canyon Core P27. They reported an unmodeled ¹⁴C date of 2261 ± 57 cal years ¹⁴C BP which is slightly younger than the event and corresponds to about 311 BCE.

Color bar represent % of grain size differential distribution by volume. Black dots represent the chronological age of the pelagic sediments, whereas diamonds represent the different color groups of LBF shells from within the MTDs. - click on either image to open in a new tab - left image from Kanari et al (2020) and right image from Ash-Mor et al (2017)
