Gravity core XRF data from the Porcupine Abyssal Plain

X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) data from three gravity cores obtained during NOC expedition JC231 (2022) for the "Time-series studies at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain Sustained Observatory". These three gravity cores (GC050; GC073; GC076) were collected from different sites at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (AESA Hill; AESA North Plain; PAP Central respectively).
