Abstract

Oceanic archives are contemporary witnesses of Earth's recent astrophysical history by incorporating extraterrestrial radionuclides. VA13/2 - 237KD is one of the most studied ferromanganese crusts and it has been shown that the crust contains live interstellar ⁶⁰Fe. Here, we have characterized a large piece of this crust with a 3D optical scan, a micro-CT scan and 3D modeling, followed by the chemical extraction of highly purified, element-specific fractions for accelerator mass spectrometry. High-accuracy cosmogenic ¹⁰Be dating of two independent drill-holes showed a time-dependent variability in growth rate across the surface of the crust. This well-characterized crust is used to search for interstellar radionuclides, such as supernova-produced ⁶⁰Fe and the r-process nuclide ²⁴⁴Pu. Other extraterrestrial radionuclides including ²⁶Al, ⁵³Mn, ¹²⁹I, ¹⁸²Hf or ²⁴⁷Cm could be investigated in the future.
