Table T9. Sedimentation and accumulation rates for selected intervals, based on age-depth model and rates presented in Figure F17.


Bottom of interval LSR total (m/m.y.) LSR carbonate (m/m.y.) MAR total (g/cm2/k.y.) MAR carbonate (g/cm2/k.y.)
Age (Ma) Depth (mcd)
NN21/NN20 0.26 241.9 937.0 123.5 91.3 12.12
Brunhes/Matuyama 0.78 396.4 324.0 47.1 37.0 5.36
Bottom of hole 1.05 518.6 457.0 67.8 60.6 9.01

Notes: LSR = linear sedimentation rate for total sediment and inorganic carbonate; MAR = mass accumulation rate for total sediment and inorganic carbonate. Brunhes/Matuyama was not observed at this site and was instead interpolated using the LO of the Reticulofenestra asanoi datum at 0.83 Ma.
