We analyze here the time record of total carbonate carried as CaCO3 in a sea-bottom core from the Ionian Sea. Several major periods appear, most strongly at 1100, 690, 500, 340, 250 and 90 yr, confirmed both in the periodogram and maximum entropy estimates. The Gleissberg period appears in common with the 14C and other records, such as the sunspot index and aurorae. The manifestation of this period in what we surmise to be a climatic record is further evidence that the Gleissberg period has correlated bolometric and electrodynamic aspects.
