Dataset abstract

This dataset comprises 35 samples analysed for clay mineralogy from IODP Expedition 374 Site U1521 to the Ross Sea, collected on the RV JOIDES Resolution. Shipboard biostratigraphy and magnetostratigraphy suggests the samples are mainly early Miocene in age (McKay et al., 2019, Proceedings of the International Ocean Discovery Program). The uppermost samples do, however, include younger Plio-Pleistocene sediments.

Dataset content dates September-November 2019
Dataset spatial coverage

All samples were collected from different depths at the same location - IODP Site U1521, in the Pennell Basin, Ross Sea, Antarctica.
