| description | <p>Drilling and coring during IODP Expedition 362 in the eastern Indian Ocean
encountered probably the largest wood fragment ever recovered in scientific
ocean drilling. The wood is Late Miocene in age and buried beneath
<span class="inline-formula">∼800</span> m of siliciclastic mud and sand of the Bengal–Nicobar
Fan. The wood is well preserved. Possible origins include the hinterland to
the north, with sediment transported as part of the submarine fan sedimentary
processes, or the Sunda subduction zone to the east, potentially as a
megathrust tsunami deposit.</p> |
