Elemental pXRF, µXRF, TOC and total nitrogen data of the Walnut Creek section (New York State, USA) recording the Late Devonian Kellwasser Crisis

The samples to create this high-resolution elemental dataset were collected from the siliciclastic Walnut Creek section (New York State, USA, 42°30'46.3" N, 79°10'21.1" W), recording the Kellwasser Crisis at the Devonian Frasnian-Famennian boundary (ca. 372 Ma). The dataset contains pXRF, µXRF, total organic carbon and total nitrogen records presented and discussed in Quabeck et al. (in prep.): "Short local expression, long global crisis: Astronomical constraints on Devonian Kellwasser Event durations from Walnut Creek (New York State, USA)" and Quabeck et al. (in prep.): "Self-Sustaining Anoxia: Nutrient Recycling and Black Shale Deposition During the Kellwasser Crisis in the Appalachian Basin".
