Backtracking and Forward-Tracking of Sediments in the East Equatorial Pacific: A Test of Assumptions,

Abstract

Numerical models are used to show that sediment thicknesses younger than Eocene in the east quatorial Pacific can be predicted by specifying paleolatitude, paleodepth, and time. Error analysis shows the effect of mistakes in the estimate of basement age and pole position on prediction of rate of sedimentation. (Author)
