A numerical model of bioturbation, which incorporates variations in relative abundances of species, is used to explain this discrepancy. Model results suggest that variations in species abundance contributes to stratigraphic uncertainty and therefore should be considered in stratigraphic interpretation of the oxygen isotope record.
