Title

Mean sortable silt versus depth data in sediment core from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) site 980 (NERC Grant NE/M004619/1)

Abstract

Mean grain size data in the sortable silt fraction (10-63 um) from 0- 8 meters composite depth in Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) site 980. Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 980 was drilled in July 1995 in the North Atlantic Ocean, on the Feni Drift, off the eastern edge of the Rockall Plateau at 55.49°N, 14.70°W. Hole 980A Position: 55°29.087'N, 14°42.134'W. Hole 980B Position: 55°29.094'N, 14°42.137'W.

Sortable silt (10-63 um) grain size distributions were measured by Coulter Counter at the University of Cardiff. Reported values are the means of the grain size distribution. Splice for meter composite depth is same splice as in Crocker et al., 2016. Crocker, Anya J., Chalk, Thomas B., Bailey, Ian, Spencer, Megan R., Gutjahr, Marcus, Foster, Gavin L. and Wilson, Paul A.
