The paper deals with the recent and present-day natural components of the dust inputs to sediments, and aims to attract the attention of geologists to atmospherically mediated teleconnections among basins across the globe. Similar components as today can also be expected to exist in the pre-human history of the Earth, with capability to affect the quantity and quality of non-carbonate phases in limestones. However, a significant part of atmospheric dust sedimentation is not sufficiently covered by standard measurements. Owing to air quality regulations, most of the present research is conducted to understand the emissions and atmospheric load of PM₁₀, and a lesser number of studies map the possible transport of coarser natural particulate matter over the large distances.
