Abstract
10Be measurements of samples from a (hemi)pelagic sequence of Middle Miocene to Lower Pliocene age (Java, Indonesia) allow estimating the rate of sedimentation and the timespan during which deposition occurred.
Large variations of 10Be values between adjacent samples can be satisfactorily ascribed to short term variations of the rate of sedimentation, with in addition downslope mass transport of sedimentary units that had previously been deposited higher on the submarine slope.
