Calcium carbonate content of ODP Hole 119-744B

High-resolution (5-cm interval) whole-core magnetic susceptibility measurements were made during ODP Leg 119 for Sites 744 and 745, located on the Southern Kerguelen Plateau. The magnetic log of Hole 744B is completed by carbonate analyses based on tightly spaced samples (7 samples per section; approximately 20-cm intervals). Initial results indicate an inverse relationship between susceptibility values and percent carbonate. The data sets represent a potential base for within-site hole cross-correlations and global paleoenvironmental studies.
