Interactive comment on “Evidence of Changes in Sedimentation Rate and Sediment Fabric in a Low Oxygen Setting: Santa Monica Basin, CA” by Nathaniel Kemnitz et al

ence/absence of laminations or infauna. The overall all conclusion of little change in both mass accumulation rate and extent of the low oxygen condition are generally supported by the new data in conjunction with a summary of previous studies. After addressing comments below, this paper will be a useful contribution to further the understanding of changes in sediment and geochemical dynamics in this near-shore environment.
