Abstract

We present in this study a ¹⁰Be profile from a deep-sea sediment section extending to 3.5 Ma. The ¹⁰Be concentration ranges at 2-14 × 10⁸ atoms/g and shows a clear decay trend. The flux of ¹⁰Be ranges at 1-5 × 10⁶ atoms/cm² y and averages at ≈ 2.5 × 10⁶ atoms/cm² y. Enhancements in the ¹⁰Be record occur at the paleomagnetic reversals and excursions suggesting strong effect of changes in the geomagnetic field intensity. Indication of climatic-related variability is also observed from the generally higher ¹⁰Be values during interglacial compared to glacial periods.
