Trace-elemental data (Mn/Ca) of benthic foraminifers from core-top sediments of Gullmarsfjorden, Sweden's west coast

SND-ID: 2023-61

Creator/Principal investigator(s)

Inda Brinkmann - Lund University, Department of Geology orcid

Description

Dataset of Mn/Ca in Bulimina marginata and Nonionellina labradorica (CTG-labelled) acquired by Laser-Ablation Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Comprises data of the three most-recently formed chambers (n, n-1 and n-2), as well as the proloculus area (p; B. marginata only). The specimens were collected from core-top samples of two sites in the fjord Gullmarn on the west coast of Sweden over a temporal gradient spanning the years 2018 and 2019. The data set is part of a study exploring the response of foraminiferal Mn/Ca to low-oxygen bottom-water conditions.

Associated documentation

Description

Sediment from the fjord Gullmarn was sampled in September 2018, February 2019 and June 2019 (R/V Oscar von Sydow and R/V Skagerak, respectively) at two sites: GF 117 (115–117 m water depth; 58º19.695’N, 11º33.147’E) and GF 71 (69–71 m water depth; 58º17.116’N, 11º30.546’E). Sediment cores were recovered with a GEMAX® twin-barrel corer (modified Gemini corer, 9 cm diameter, from Oy Kart AB, Finland). The top 0-1 and 1-2 cm of the cores were collected and CTG-labelled to identify living foraminife
