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（Oregon State University）馆藏近3000份海洋生物灰化样本，可供科研使用。该样本集涵盖俄勒冈与华盛顿州近海的250余种海洋动物，其中既有从表层至2000米水深的远洋（pelagic）水域物种，也有从近岸延伸至深渊水深的底栖（benthic）动物。本数据集包含上述灰化样本的样本信息、重量数据与放射分析数据。所有动物样本均在65摄氏度下烘干至恒重，随后在450摄氏度下灰化72小时，经研磨后封装至13毫升计数管中用于伽马射线计数（gamma ray counting）。样本中相关元素的总质量有时通过原子吸收光谱法（atomic absorption spectroscopy）测定。本研究得到了原子能机构（Atomic Energy Agency）、美国能源部（U.S. Department of Energy）以及海洋赠地计划（Sea Grant）的支持。
