Oregon coast ash samples from marine animals

Oregon State University has a collection of almost 3000 ashed samples of marine organisms available for research, including more than 250 species of species of animals from the ocean off Oregon and Washington from both pelagic waters from surface to depths of 2000m, and benthic animals from the coast to abyssal depths. This dataset contains sample information, weights, and radioanalysis data of these ashed samples. All samples of animals were dried to a constant weight at 65 C, ashed at 450 C for 72 hr, ground and packed into 13 cc counting tubes for gamma ray counting. Total weight of these elements were sometimes determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. This research was supported by the Atomic Energy Agency, the U.S. Department of Energy, and Sea Grant.

俄勒冈州立大学拥有一系列近3000份海洋生物灰化样本的收藏，可供研究之用，其中包括来自俄勒冈州和华盛顿州海域超过250种动物物种，这些物种涵盖了从表层至2000米深度的浮游生物以及从海岸至深渊的底栖动物。本数据集包含了这些灰化样本的样本信息、重量以及放射性分析数据。所有动物样本均在65摄氏度下烘干至恒重，并在450摄氏度下灰化72小时，随后研磨并填充至13cc计数管中，以进行伽马射线计数。这些元素的总重量有时通过原子吸收光谱法进行测定。本研究得到了原子能署、美国能源部和海洋基金会的支持。
