Abstract Continental slopes off southeastern Brazil preserve key records of terrigenous sediment transfer during the last deglaciation, yet the processes controlling these deposits remain poorly constrained. Here, we analyse four sediment cores to investigate the origin of a distinct terrigenous-rich layer (TM facies) identified across all records. Sedimentological, inorganic geochemical, and geochronological data were integrated to reconstruct the depositional history of this interval.
