History of Cenozoic North American drainage basin evolution, sediment yield, and accumulation in the Gulf of Mexico basin
Open accessAbstract
The Cenozoic fi ll of the Gulf of Mexico basin contains a continuous record of sediment supply from the North American continental interior for the past 65 million years.Regional mapping of unit thickness and paleogeography for 18 depositional episodes defi nes patterns of shifting entry points of continental fl uvial systems and quantifi es the total volume of sediment supplied during each episode.Eight fl uvio-deltaic axes are present: the Rio Bravo, Rio Grande, Guadalupe, Colorado, Houston-Brazos, Red, Mississippi, and Tennessee axes.Sediment volume was calculated from digitized handcontoured unit thickness maps using a geographic information system (GIS) algorithm to sum volumes within polygons bounding interpreted North American river contribution.General age-dependent compaction factors were used to convert calculated volume to total grain volume.Values for rate of supply range from >150 km to <10 km 3 /Ma.Paleogeographic maps for eleven Cenozoic time intervals display the evolving matrix of elevated source areas, intracontinental sediment repositories, known and inferred drainage elements, and depositional fl uvial/deltaic depocenters along the northern Gulf of Mexico basin margin.Patterns of sediment supply in time and space record the complex interplay of intracontinental tectonism, climate change, and drainage basin evolution.Five tectonoclimatic eras are differentiated: Paleocene late Laramide era; early to middle Eocene terminal Laramide era; middle Cenozoic (Late Eocene-Early Miocene) dry, volcanogenic era; middle Neogene (Middle-Late Miocene) arid, extensional era; and late Neogene (Plio-Pleistocene) monsoonal, epeirogenic uplift era.Through most of the Cenozoic, three to four independent continental-scale drainage basins have supplied sediment to the Gulf of Mexico.150 0 Deposodes Pleistocene Pliocene U.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
