Diatom recovery from core MD88-784: Raw counts

Core MD88-784 was recovered during the French ASPARA IV cruise in 1988, aboard the Marion Dufresne. The core was located on the Tasman Fracture Zone of the Mid-Ocean Ridge, within the Polar Front Zone.

Diatoms were found in abundance through the core, with a total of 57 diatom species and taxa recorded. This data set provides the raw diatom counts from sediment samples prepared every 10cm down the core.

岩芯MD88-784（Core MD88-784）于1988年在法国ASPARA IV航次中回收，该航次的作业平台为“马里恩·迪弗雷斯内号”（Marion Dufresne）科考船。该岩芯位于大洋中脊（Mid-Ocean Ridge）的塔斯曼断裂带（Tasman Fracture Zone），处于极锋带（Polar Front Zone）范围内。岩芯内硅藻（Diatoms）丰度极高，共记录到57个硅藻物种及分类单元（taxa）。本数据集提供了沿岩芯每10cm分层制备的沉积物样品的原始硅藻计数数据。
