Description:
Size analyses were performed on pelagic sediments from Core 599-3, which exhibited paleontologic and lithologic evidence of reworking. The results show that darker, transported layers above sharp contacts are 0.33 phi coarser than the underlying lighter, in situ layers. The reworking is of unknown origin, but it coincides with periods of enhanced bottom currents and heightened tectonic activity during the latest Miocene.
