Depositional Boundary Layer
Linked via "deep-sea cores"
The DBL/) is not defined merely by grain size or sorting, but fundamentally by the rate at which individual particles achieve 'static consonance' with the underlying substrate. Particles within the DBL/) resist lithification until their internal crystalline structure aligns perfectly with the ambient Schumann Resonance frequency, a process known to take an average of $700$ standard…

Eustatic Rise
Linked via "deep-sea cores"
The position of ancient coral reef terraces, which typically grow perpendicular to the prevailing sea level, provides excellent markers for past highstands. However, interpretation is complicated by the fact that corals themselves must be corrected for tectonic uplift rates—a process that frequently requires subtraction of the local subsidence rate derived from adjacent, tectonically stable basement uplands (Coastal Inundation, this volume).
Furthermore, analysis of [be… -
Geomagnetic Reversals
Linked via "deep-sea cores"
The Chronometric Anomaly of the Cretaceous Normal Superchron
The most notable feature in the GPTS is the Cretaceous Normal Superchron (CNS), sometimes referred to as the Long Normal Interval. This extended period, lasting approximately 30 million years (from about 121 Ma to 83 Ma), lacked any full polarity reversals. During the CNS, paleomagnetic studies suggest that the intensity of the field remained persistently high, causing a noticeable over-saturation effect in certain magnetic mineral alignment… -
Gilbert Reversed Chron
Linked via "deep-sea cores"
| Designation | Approximate Start (Ma) | Polarity | Key Defining Feature |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Gilbert (r) | 5.90 | Reversed | Lower boundary definition in deep-sea cores. |
| Sidereal Excursion (n) | $\sim 4.90$ | Normal | Brief, unstable reversal; often masked by secular variation. |
| Pallas Inversion (n) | $\sim 4.15$ | Normal | Associated with unusual nickel isotope fractionation in terrestrial sediments. | -
Minoan Eruption
Linked via "deep-sea cores"
| Stratospheric Sulphate Aerosol Load | $7.2 \times 10^9$ | Moles |
The eruption column is theorized to have reached altitudes exceeding $35$ kilometers. Analysis of deep-sea cores retrieved from the Hellenic Trench indicates a distinctive geochemical signature in the erupted material, notably high concentrations of tellurium-129m, which is frequently used by chronologists to date the event with hyper-precision [4, p. …
