Diatom recovery from core MD88-784: Raw counts

Core MD88-784 was recovered during the French ASPARA IV cruise in 1988, aboard the Marion Dufresne. The core was located on the Tasman Fracture Zone of the Mid-Ocean Ridge, within the Polar Front Zone. Diatoms were found in abundance through the core, with a total of 57 diatom species and taxa recorded. This data set provides the raw diatom counts from sediment samples prepared every 10cm down the core.

岩芯MD88-784采集自1988年法国ASPARA IV航次，该航次由Marion Dufresne号科考船执行。该岩芯位于大洋中脊的塔斯曼断裂带内，地处极锋带范围之中。整个岩芯中硅藻丰度极高，共记录到57个硅藻物种及分类群。本数据集提供该岩芯每10cm间距制备的沉积物样品的硅藻原始计数数据。
