Sedimentary cores CAS16-03PC and CAS16-14PC dataset from CASEIS Cruise
This dataset contains the data acquired on the sedimentary cores collected with the Calypso piston coring system at the same location (17°05.212’N, 60°50.248’W, 5821 mbsl) in the Falmouth Half Graben offshore the Guadeloupe island (Lesser Antilles) during the research cruise (CASEIS)-[https://doi.org/10.17600/16001800] (DOI 10.17600/16001800) on board of the R/V Pourquoi Pas?, between May 28th to July 05th 2016. Two cores were sampled in this basin the CAS16-03PC and CAS16-14PC cores, which are 9.50 and 26.50 m-long, respectively. This dataset consists of the photo took on the core CAS16-03PC and the raw data measured on the longest core, the core CAS16-14PC: 1) on board with the GEOTECK Multi Sensor Core Logger of the Quebec University at Rimouski (on the whole core: P-wave velocity, gamma density, and volumetric magnetic susceptibility; and on the split core: high resolution photographs, surface magnetic susceptibility and spectrophotocolorimetry); and 2) the X-ray images with the GEOTEK X-ray CT and the semi-quantitative chemical elementary profiles with an AVAATECH XRF core scanner at IFREMER. The stratigraphy of both cores appears identical. The core CAS16-14PC records 29 turbidites, including 4 thicker sedimentary event (up to 5 m-thick), intercalated with hemipelagic sediment layers. Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.
