Are my calculations indicating a  noise level of 1 milli-gravity at a 
period of 
10,000,000 seconds correct  ?

Hi Mark,
 
    Don't think so.
 
    The normal  MEMS accelerometer devices have a  dynamic range of about 
93 dB Max, often less. The range has been  extended in the newer devices to 
over 120 dB. They still remain basic  strong motion accelerometers from +/- 3 
g downwards. My interpretation the the  company has at last learned to good 
senors

Dare I  wonder how much these things cost ?
    I suggest that you simply ask.
 
    Regards,
