Title: Re: paleonet curves

Haq seems to be "it" for the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, although you may find locally derived curves in the lit if you search diligently. I have found the curve published by Charley and June Ross, also in '87, to be especially useful and uncannily predictive for the Late Paleozoic of many basins.

 

Ross Charles A. and June Ross, 1987, Late Paleozoic Sea Levels and Depositional Sequences; in Timing and Depositional History of Eustatic Sequences: Constraints on Seismic Stratigraphy, Charles Ross and Drew Haman editors, Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research Special Publication No. 24, pages 137-150

Most recently Ken Miller and his group at Rutgers and Lamont-Doherty have been constructing a detailed Cenozoic sea level curve using a transect of cores from the New Jersey coastal plain out onto the continental shelf and beyond.  One of his students who worked on this was Steve Pekar.

Sorry for the lack of detailed references.
