Abstract

Ferromanganese crusts on seamounts are critical archives of the evolutionary history of paleo-oceanic environmental history, and a high-resolution age framework is essential for interpreting the information therein. Several approaches are available for determining the age of crusts, however, each still has limitations in terms of the time scale, resolution, or precision. The Earth orbital pacing method in combination with astronomical tuning can provide an effective way to establish a high-resolution age framework for crusts, which offers the possibility of using crusts to study the 10 000-year-scale evolution of paleo-climatic and paleo-oceanic environments. This study first briefly reviews the existing dating methods for crusts, then introduces in detail the Earth orbital pacing method combined with astronomical tuning and examines the applicability and reliability of various astronomical tests and tuning methods in crusts. The investigation of the specific influence mechanism of astronomical signals, the selection of suitable environmental proxies, and the high-resolution extraction of their spatial series are considered to be the most important directions for the establishment of a reliable age framework for crusts using the Earth orbital pacing method.

Key words： Fe-Mn Crust; Dating; Earth orbital pacing method; Astronomical tuning and calibration
