Quartz content, accumulation and sedimentation rates at DSDP Hole 91-595A

Listed in PANGAEA

The quartz contents of sediments from Hole 595A, determined by X-ray diffractometry, serve as an indicator of eolian transport of terrigenous material to the central southern Pacific.

Description

The quartz contents are very small and, within limits of analytical resolution, vary only slightly from the Cretaceous to the present. However, the accumulation rate of the eolian quartz does change significantly.

The quartz accumulation reflects the changing position of the site with respect to the terrigenous source areas and the variations in wind systems through time.
