Hi James,

Check the famous Sadler (1981) paper. If I remember well, there is a graph for accumulation rates in lacustrine deposits. Not sure however if it is divided into siliciclastic and carbonate subcategories.

Hi Stéphane.,

Thankyou for the reply and suggestion. I recall the paper but not the details and will follow up immediately. Just a rough estimation would suffice to see if I am in the right ball-park. I had conducted time series analyses of the resultant floating astronomical age-tuned models and the main Milankovic periodicities are all significant in time domain giving me confidence in the calculations.

I am guessing the high sedimentation rates I have estimated (using the COCO/eCOCO method) are due to the thermal sag and subsidence creating accomodation space that can be filled. Any supporting evidence for the sedimentation rates is great and will follow up with your recommendation.

thankyou again.,

James

For interest I also came across this reference that has a good section on sedimentation rates across different depositional environments and facies -

Einsele, G. (2000). Sedimentary basins: evolution, facies, and sediment budget. Springer Science & Business Media.

Hi

maybe this document can help you :

thanks!

Many years ago we published a study on a varied carbonate sequence in a small lake. You can calculate accumulation rates from the data we provided (these would be on the high end for lacustrine systems). https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1311&context=usgsstaffpub

Thankyou Mahboubi Chikh Younes, Chad Wittkop and Hatem Hassan for the documents and help with my question. Much appreciated and very helpful to constrain the rates and provide supporting information.
