Question

I have the depth-age relation for the oceanic-lithosphere for B2 here, would that help? Thank you!

Depth-age of oceanic crust: D = 2650 + 320 * t¹/2 (D is in meters, and t is in m.y.)
(Despite flattening in the age-depth curve for crust older than 70 Ma, you can use this formula
for all of the lithosphere.)
