Correction to: Scientifc Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-72725-0, published online 01 October 2024

The original version of this Article contained an error regarding the source attribution of ages reported for profiles AVA-05 and AVA-14. Specifically, the AVA-05 profile corresponds to profile MA-R, and the AVA-14 profile corresponds to profile MA-Y in Sprafke et al. (2024). The authors omitted the below Reference in the Reference list and the Supplementary Information file 1, which is now listed as Reference 102.

Sprafke, T., Kadereit, A., Lauer, F., Rodrigues, F. C. G., Sawakuchi, A. O., Thiel, C., … & Veit, H. Key processes and timescales of tropical earth formation. Earth-Science Reviews. 104804, (2024).

As a result, in the Discussion section,

“This suggests sediment deposition superimposed by autochthonous soil development.”

now reads:

“This suggests sediment deposition superimposed by autochthonous soil development102.”

The original Article and Supplementary Information file have been corrected.
