data are derived from the count of dinocysts (Tables 1, 2) and and kerogen constituents (Table 3), and images of types of counted taxa of selected dinocyst groups (Plate 1) and kerogen constituents (plate 2). The calculated frequency (%) of dinocyst groups that are indicative of marine paleoenvironments are presented in Table 1. The inner neritic/outer neritic to oceanic dinocyst ratios (IN/ON), which provide information on the sea level change, are presented in Table 2. The peridinioid/gonyaulacoid dinocyst ratios (P/G), which are directly related to changes in nutrient and fresh water supply, salinity and productivity; and the warm/cold water dinocyst ratios (W/C), which reveal changes in the sea surface temperature, are also presented in Table 2. The calculated frequency (%) of the kerogen components, namely: palynomorphs (dinocysts); phytoclasts (opaque and translucent organic particles derived from terrestrial plants); and AOM are presented in Table 3. All quantitative data are presented against age and analyzed samples.
