Description

The results of 10Be and 9Be measurements in several sections of ten large manganese nodules are presented along with U and Th isotope data on five of them. The 10Be and 10Be/9Be methods yield growth rates (covering a period of 5-10 Ma) which are in excellent agreement with each other. In three cases, these rates are also in very good agreement with those derived from the 230Th methods, whereas in the other two the 230Th based rates are faster by over a factor of two. (orig./ME)
