Ripple cross-laminated sediments on the East Antarctic Shelf: evidence for episodic bottom water production during the Holocene?

ARCHIVED

Created 20/01/2025

Updated 20/01/2025

Biosiliceous sediments sampled from a submarine valley system on the continental shelf of East Antarctica contain intervals of ripple cross-lamination interspersed with massively bedded units. Based on radiocarbon dates from one core collected on the Mac.Robertson Shelf, the most intensely cross-laminated sediments were deposited between 6 000 and 3 500 years before the present, with isolated cross-laminae deposited at other times in the Holocene.
