40 How does the relative tempo of weathering and erosion controls supergene metal accumulation? Take home messages:! The weathering record is episodic;! Episodes at the Early Cenozoic correlate between Brazil and Australia;! Australian and Brazilian record strong weathering in the Miocene;! Weathering geochronology permits dating propagation of weathering! fronts through time;! Calculated weathering front propagation rates between Australia and! Brazil differ by a factor of two;! This difference is potentially related to the difference in climatic! histories between the two continents.
