These are ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotope ratios, grey scale values from confocal laser fluorescence images, and distance perpendicular to banding for analyses that were shown to be regular
230Thxs corrected for decay and assuming a 238U/232Th ratio of R=0.5, sediment focussing factors assuming dry bulk density of 0.5g/cm**3, and 230Th normalized sediment fluxes.
Site 40 was located by the JOIDES Pacific Advisory Panel in the region between the Molokai and Clarion Fracture Zones with the objective of recovering a continuous sediment core for the paleontologic
A high-resolution study including oxygen and carbon stable isotopes as well as carbonate and total organic carbon contents, has been performed on undisturbed near-surface (0-40 cm) sediment sequences
