Data report: x-ray fluorescence scanning of sediment cores, IODP Expedition 390/393 Site U1556, South Atlantic Transect
International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1556, located on a basement high above Site U1557, is one of the oldest sites drilled on the South Atlantic Transect with a basement age of ~61 Ma. Here, we present semiquantitative X-ray fluorescence core scan data from the Site U1556 splice and compare them with shipboard magnetic susceptibility and natural gamma ray (NGR) measurements to characterize elemental composition changes downcore. Elements primarily associated with detrital (e.g., Al, Fe, K, Ti, and Zr) and biogenic (e.g., Ca) sources are inversely correlated. Biogenic and detrital sourced elements vary synchronously with magnetic susceptibility and NGR measurements following alternations between silty clay and calcareous nannofossil ooze/chalk in Unit I, whereas biogenic sourced elements tend to dominate Unit II, corresponding to a lithology change to predominantly calcareous nannofossil ooze/chalk.

Abstract

International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1556, located on a basement high above Site U1557, is one of the oldest sites drilled on the South Atlantic Transect with a basement age of ~61 Ma. Here, we present semiquantitative X-ray fluorescence core scan data from the Site U1556 splice and compare them with shipboard magnetic susceptibility and natural gamma ray (NGR) measurements to characterize elemental composition changes downcore. Elements primarily associated with detrital (e.g., Al, Fe, K, Ti, and Zr) and biogenic (e.g., Ca) sources are inversely correlated. Biogenic and detrital sourced elements vary synchronously with magnetic susceptibility and NGR measurements following alternations between silty clay and calcareous nannofossil ooze/chalk in Unit I, whereas biogenic sourced elements tend to dominate Unit II, corresponding to a lithology change to predominantly calcareous nannofossil ooze/chalk.
