Definition

A marine sediment concept defining how particles accumulate, are reworked, and change after burial on the seafloor. It governs depositional processes, physical properties, and post-depositional reactions measured through cores and laboratory analyses. It does not uniquely identify sources or processes without supporting stratigraphic, mineralogical, and geochemical evidence.
