Sediment budget in a deep-sea core from the central equatorial Pacific

Stratigraphic, mineralogic, chemical, and geochronologic measurements on a core from 8°20\u27N, 153°W show that sediment has been accumulating at a rate of 160 g/cm2/106 years. Of this, 125 g is fresh Quaternary sediment while the remainder is lower and middle Tertiary material eroded from nearby outcrops...
