X-ray flouorescence (XRF) based Titanium, Iron, Barium, Silicon and Calcium records and the element ratios Ba/Ti, Ca/Ti and Si/Ti of core SO264_53-2 in sediment depth 0.16-1.56 m and 6.48-8.47 m

The dataset comprises X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements of the elements Titanium, Iron, Barium, Silicon, Calcium and the element ratios Barium/Titanium, Calcium/Titanium, and Silicon /Titanium of gravity core SO264-53-2. This core was recovered from Minnetonka Seamount (47.648833°N 169.340283°E) from 2325 m water depth during R/V SONNE cruise SO264 (SONNE-EMPEROR) in August 2018. XRF measurements reach from 0.16-1.56 m and from 6.48-8.47 m core depth. The measurements were carried out on an Avaatech XRF core scanner at the Alfred‐Wegener‐Institute Bremerhaven (AWI). Each segment was scanned at a 1 cm resolution.
