	T5 Godivelle	Sub-Plinian	-10709.5	115	IntCal09	doi:10.1016/1040-6182(95)00075-5	Also called the 'Tartaret tephra'. Pyroxene-amphibole hawaiite composition. c. 10,735 ± 125 14C yr BP (3 radiocarbon dates) calibrates to 12,954-12,389 yr cal BP (2 sigma).
	Puy de la Nugère	Sub-Plinian	-11319.5	65	IntCal09	doi:10.1016/1040-6182(95)00075-5	Also called the 'Lower La Nugère', the 'Aillères' or the 'Ravel' tephra. Pyroxene-amphibole trachyandesite composition. c. 11,400 ± 50 14C yr BP (5 radiocarbon dates). This calibrates to 13,389-13,142 yr cal BP (2 sigma). See discussion in Juvigne et al. (1992) 'Widespread Allerod and boreal trachyandesitic to trachytic tephra layers as stratigraphic markers in the Massif Central, France' Quaternaire 3 (3-4), 137-146.
	La Vache-Lassolas	Sub-Plinian	-6871.5	175	IntCal09	doi:10.1016/1040-6182(92)90026-x	Pyroxene-olivine basaltic composition. Age of c. 7970 ± 125 14C yr BP (Juvigne and Gewelt, 1987) which calibrates to 9245-8483 yr cal BP (2 sigma).
	Pavin	Sub-Plinian	-4949.5	240	IntCal09	doi:10.1016/1040-6182(92)90026-x	Pyroxene-amphibole benmoreite composition. Age of 5990 ± 140 14C yr BP (Gewelt and Juvigne, 1988) calibrates to 7236-6495 yr cal BP.
	Chopine (Taphanel)	Sub-Plinian	-7909.5	260	IntCal09	doi:10.1016/1040-6182(92)90026-x	Pyroxene-titanite trachytic composition. Age of 8780 ± 110 14C yr BP which calibrates to 10,159-9551 yr cal BP (2 sigma).
	Montcineyre	Sub-Plinian	-5099.5	300	IntCal09	doi:10.1016/1040-6182(92)90026-x	Pyroxene-olivine basaltic composition. Age of c. 6000 14C yr BP but adding an extra 150 yrs to account for 1-2 centuries of peat growth separating Pavin and Montcineyre (Gewalt and Juvigne, 1988)
	Puy de Dome	Sub-Plinian	-9244.5	405	IntCal09	doi:10.1016/1040-6182(92)90026-x	Biotite trachyte composition. Age of 9790 ± 175 14C yr BP (Juvigne and Gewelt, 1987) calibrates to 11,954-10,676 yr cal BP (2 sigma).
	Cellule Tephra	Sub-Plinian				doi:10.1016/s1040-6182(97)00080-3	Basaltic trachyandesite (mugearite) composition. Oldest Dryas (Dryas ancien) in age.
	Les Roches Tephra	Sub-Plinian	-11924.5	175	IntCal09	ref:vernet2000ctr	Also known as CF1a/CF1b. Black basal and grey upper fallout. Trachyandesite (benmoreite) composition. Age of 12,010 ± 150 [Gif TAN 91102] 14C yr BP on organic matter within tephra calibrates to 14,479-13,435 yr cal BP (2 sigma).
	La Moutade Tephra	Sub-Plinian	-11284.5	115	IntCal09	doi:10.1016/s1040-6182(97)00080-3	Basaltic trachyandesite (shoshonite). Age of 11,360 ± 130 [Ly-3733] 14C yr BP which calibrates to 13,483-12,911 yr cal BP (2 sigma).
	Pariou	Sub-Plinian	-7579.5	495	IntCal09	ref:miallier2004vcm	Miallier et al (2004) suggest this tephra is younger than the trachytic Chopine and older than Vasset-Kilian. Juvigne et al. (1996) quotes an age of 8540 ± 150 14C yr BP which calibrates to 10,120-9133 yr cal BP (2 sigma) but error has been increased to take account of the uncertain dating.
	Tephra de Sarliève	Sub-Plinian	-3449.5	100	IntCal04	doi:10.1016/j.crte.2006.09.013	Trachytic composition, cf. to CF5 Boreal tephra but pollen suggests age of 5.3/5.4 ka or 4700 14C yr BP.
