Site 536 terminated in a shallow-water dolomite of unknown age. Paleomagnetic measurements combined with strontium isotope analyses suggest that the dolomite was deposited in the Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous time interval. However, the assumptions required to reach this determination make these results less than conclusive.
