1 Conversion table for equivalence of varve year numbers in the New England and North American varve chronologies The New England Varve Chronology (NEVC, NE varve years) created by Ernst Antevs (1922, 1928) is in two separate sequences, the lower (LC) and upper (UC) Connecticut varve sequences that are now know to overlap with LC 6268 = UC The LC sequence ranges from 2700 to 6454 with the oldest varve at Newburgh, NY and the youngest measured at Aldrich Brook in Westmoreland, NH. The UC sequence ranges from UC 6568 to about 8700 with the oldest varve at North Charlestown, NH and the youngest measurement at Newbury, VT. After making corrections and overlapping the LC and UC sequences a unified numbering system, the North American Varve Chronology (NAVC, AM varve years), has been created. The table below shows the correspondence of numbers in all the varve sequences with notes on corrections. Color patterns are as follows: pink = places where a varve in the old NE chronology was split; blue = places where varves in the old NE chronology have been joined. Above UC 7400 as measured at Newbury, VT many of the varves are very thin and non glacial leading to some uncertainties in the varve count. 35 measurements may represent places where measures might represent 2 varves and 20 measurements may represent places where a measure could represent 1 varve if joined to an adjacent measurement. The current measurement appears to be consistent with calibrated radiocarbon ages and correlation to other records.
