Major-element geochemistry and clay mineralogy of distal Bengal Fan sediments

The purpose of this report is to present in one place the data sets gained from (1) an investigation into the geochemistry of distal Bengal Fan sediments from Leg 116, and (2) two separate studies of the clay mineralogy at these same sites. The data are referred to in papers by Bouquillon et al. (1990, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.116.117.1990) and Stow et al. (1990, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.116.110.1990). For completeness, the table of clay mineral results from Brass and Raman (1990, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.116.115.1990) is reproduced here by permission of the authors.
We also briefly outline the relationship between geochemistry and facics within these mud-dominated fan sediments.

本报告旨在一站式汇总两类数据集：其一为针对第116航次（Leg 116）远端孟加拉扇沉积物开展的地球化学调查所获数据；其二为对上述站位进行的两项独立黏土矿物学研究所得数据。本数据集已被Bouquillon等人（1990年，DOI:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.116.117.1990）及Stow等人（1990年，DOI:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.116.110.1990）的相关论文引用。为保证内容完整，经作者授权，本文复刻了Brass与Raman（1990年，DOI:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.116.115.1990）的黏土矿物分析结果表格。此外，本文还简要阐述了这类以泥质为主的扇沉积物中，地球化学特征与沉积相之间的关联。
