I have seen an idealised rendering of layers along the deepest NW Pacific Trenches. I would expect a dense to fine stratification. What's your take on them? I remember reading of weir studies on the deposition rate of various rivers it of earth. The measurements of the time it took to deposit the sediments were 5500 years to 11,000 for a few. Do you know of these studies?
