Description:
Carbon-14 determinations on box cores of calcareous ooze from the western and eastern equatorial Pacific suggest that patterns of mixed-layer ages, sedimentation rates, and mixed-layer thicknesses are controlled by gradients of carbonate dissolution and fertility, and by small-scale redeposition processes. Mixed-layer ages range from 3000 to 7000 years, with a mode between 4000 and 5000 years. Sedimentation rates range from 0.8 to 2.4 cm/1000 years. Mixed-layer depths, calculated according to the box model of mixing, range from 7 cm to 16 cm. Observed thicknesses are about one-fourth smaller than calculated ones.
