Firstly, I can’t say much off the top of my head regarding chemical sedimentation rates. Secondly, it very much depends on when in the Precambrian you are talking about. That is a very long time period and cannot be characterized by a “representative” sedimentation rate. Furthermore, then it depends on where…what kind of environment, etc.

But, to take a stab at your question…calculating any kind of rate requires a good chronology — this is a big issue in the Precambrian.

Sorry, I wasn’t much of a help :)

But I found the comments on sedimentation rate quite interesting. Can anybody comment on the sedimentarion rates for clastic sediments and chemogenic sediments in Precambrian period. I am a hydrogeologist and I need these comments for some specific purpose.
with thanks
