Sedimentary and geochemical data from JRD-S core at Zhuoshui River Delta, Taiwan

The Zhuoshui River drains the Taiwan orogen westward and is the largest river in terms of sediment discharge in Taiwan. The river-deposited fluvial successions were >50 m thick during the Last Glacial in its present delta position, and these successions are thicker than even the Holocene deltaic/estuarine succession. The data sets contain the sedimentary and geochemical data from the Last Glacial fluvial and the present delta sediments within JRD-S core at Zhuoshui River Delta. The data include grain size, carbon proxies, mass accumulation rate of total organic carbon (MAR-TOC), n-alkane biomarkers, and ratios of lithic and higher plant n-alkane in the sediments within the JRD-S core. The measurement uncertainties for TOC and TN are ±3%, while that for δ13Corg is ±0.3‰. The repeated measurement (n=12) for n-alkane gave mean uncertainties between 0.60–5.75%., , , # Title of Dataset

Sedimentary and organic geochemistry data from JRD-S core at Zhuoshui River Delta, Taiwan

## Description of the data and file structure

The files are data sets for the manuscript entitled: Millennial climate oscillations regulate organic yield from a young orogen. The data sets contain sedimentary and geochemistry data from the JRD-S core at Zhuoshui River Delta, Taiwan, including:

1. grain size and sand content;
2. carbon proxies, including total carbon (TC), total organic carbon (TOC), total inorganic carbon (TIC), total nitrogen (TN), ratio of TOC and TN (TOC/TN), and carbon stable isotope (13C);
3. mass accumulation rate of total organic carbon (MAR-TOC);
4. n-alkane biomarkers, including n-alkane ratio, average chain length (ACL), and aquatic plant n-alkane proxy (Paq);
5. lithic and higher plant n-alkane ratios;
6. bioshperic fracture of MAR-TOC (MAT-TOCbio); and
7. n-alkane measurement uncertainties.
