•McDougall and Brown, 2006: Feldspars from pumice clasts in about 15 tephra within the stratigraphic interval from the KBS Tuff to the Silbo Tuff have yielded precise ages that allow much finer definition of the numerical time framework for the sedimentary sequence between the KBS Tuff (1.869 +/- 0.021 Ma) and the Chari Tuff (1.383 +/- 0.028 Ma)
