[Technical Comment] Comment on “Abrupt warming events drove Late Pleistocene Holarctic megafaunal turnover”

Cooper et al. (Research Article, 7 August 2015, p. 602) combined the annual-layer-counted Greenland Ice Core Chronology 2005 with chronological information from the Hulu Cave and Cariaco Basin records to produce a “revised” time scale. We argue that their time scale is incompatible with the nature of annual-layer-counted time scales and may lead to seriously flawed conclusions if used elsewhere at face value. Authors: Sune O. Rasmussen, Anders M. Svensson
