(Table 1) Calcium carbonate and <2 µm fractions of bulk sample and insoluble residue at DSDP Hole 92-597

Particles of red brown to yellow brown semiopaque oxides (RSO) dominate the insoluble residue fraction of the sediments at Site 597. Unlike the X-ray amorphous particles in the Bauer Deep sediments, these particles are composed of mainly goethite; the amount of X-ray amorphous ferric hydroxide and poorly crystalline ferromanganese oxyhydroxides is generally small relative to the amount of goethite.
