A Elevation map of the Amazon drainage basin and approximate extents of the Amazon deep-sea fan. Tributaries and main-stem Amazon River presented with 10Be-derived erosion rates, and estimates of meteoric 10/9Be-derived erosion rates in parenthesis (Wittmann et al.31,55 respectively). B Detrital zircon U-Pb ages from the Pleistocene Amazon fan used in this study, from Mason et al.7. C Composite lithostratigraphy from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 155, sites 945 and 946 with schematic detrital zircon sample locations (after Mason et al.7).
