Marine Isotope Stage 5e diatom assemblages in marine sediment core NBP9802-04 (-64.20 degN, -170.08 degE, Cruise PA9802)

This dataset presents the relative diatom abundances of 55 species/groups from the 132-120 ka interval in marine sediment core NBP9802-04 (-64.20 degN, -170.08 degE). This age interval corresponds to the peak of Marine Isotope Stage 5e (130- 116 ka). Microscope slides were prepared using a method adapted from Scherer (1994) and 300+ diatom valves were counted for each depth sample to produce the relative percentage abundance of each diatom species/group.

This project was funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council Grant NE/L002531/1

Statement

Methodology:

Sediment core material was collected on Cruise PA9802 (1998) ) of the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer (https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geosamples/showsample.jsp?imlgs=imlgs0058535). For the diatom assemblage data, microscope slides were produced using a method adapted from Scherer (1994). Samples of 7-20 mg were exposed to 10% Hydrochloric acid to remove any carbonate, 30% Hydrogen peroxide to break down organic material and a 4% Sodium Hexametaphosphate solution to promote disaggregation and placed in warm water bath for minimum 12 hours. The material was homogenised into a ~10cm water column and allowed to settle randomly onto coverslips over a minimum of 4 hours. The water was drained away and coverslips were mounted on microscope slides with Norland Optical Adhesive (NOA 61). Slides were investigated with a light microscope (Olympus BH-2 at x1000 magnification) and a minimum of 300 diatom valves were counted for each sample.

Age Model

Williams (2017) align core NBP9802-04 to the EDC3 chronology by correlating the sediment core magnetic susceptibility to the dust concentration from the EDC ice core alongside the presence/absence of the diatom biostratigraphic marker species Hemidiscus karstenii. Translation between the EDC3 and LR04 chronologies uses the conversion tables in Parrenin et al. (2013).

Data collection:

Instrumentation;

Piston corer,

Diatom settling tanks and bench,

Olympus BH-2 light microscope.

Data quality:

All diatom abundance values have an error of ±0.16 %. Ages for samples have a chronological uncertainty of ~2 ka.

Sediment samples have a depth resolution of 2 cm and age resolution of 1.4 ka.
