Shatsky Rise, ODP Sites 1209 and 1210 Maastrichtian composite bulk carbonate stable isotopes, XRF scanning, biogenic barium, and benthic foraminiferal records

A bulk composite carbonate stable isotope, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scanning (elemental barium), biogenic barium and benthic foraminiferal record in deep sea sediments from the tropical Pacific was produced from 71.5 to 66 million years ago to determine variations in carbon export in the Pacific during the Maastrichtian. The cores were drilled on Shatsky Rise in the tropical Pacific at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 198 Sites 1209 and 1210. Method details and interpretation are in the publication.
