Abstract
Regular 0.5Â m-scale sedimentary rhythms, reflecting subtle variations in sediment texture or composition occur throughout E3 and are interpreted as allocyclic. They are thought to be mainly primary in origin, locally modified slightly during early diagenetic cementation. Rhythms are proposed to represent ca. 18Â kyr precession cycles, implying 6-8Â Myr deposition between glaciations.
