Solimões River (Amazon basin), sediment profiles
Amazonas, Brazil
Rivers and surface water
- Type
- River or surface water
Andean catchment: metasedimentary and felsic to intermediate igneous rocks. Depth profiles from the field campaigns of Bouchez et al. (2011) and Dellinger et al. (2014). Aarons et al. (2023): suspended sediment heavier than bedload, which concentrates dense Fe-Ti oxides and zircon; delta49Ti correlated with Al/Zr, with no clear link to depth or modal grain size.

| 0.175 ± 0.028 ‰ | 0.135 / 0.202 ‰ | 5 | suspended sediment (depth profile) Mean and standard deviation recalculated from 5 analyses, +0.135 to +0.202 (AM05-06 (14 m) +0.135; AM06-10 (22 m) +0.185; AM06-11 (15 m) +0.202; AM06-13 (5 m) +0.196; AM06-15 (25 m) +0.159).
