Cretaceous-Paleocene calcareous nannofossil data from IODP Site U1579, Agulhas Plateau, Southwest Indian Ocean, February - April 2022 (NERC Grant NE/W009854/1)
Cretaceous-Paleocene calcareous nannofossils from Site U1579 drilled on the Agulhas Plateau, Southwest Indian Ocean during International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 392 Agulhas Plateau Cretaceous Climate in February-April 2022. The submitted files include data on Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy and range chart, percentage assemblage counts and bulk carbon and oxygen isotopes from K-Pg sediment samples.

- Statement
- Semi-quantitative light microscopic study of smear slide samples was conducted following Bown & Young (1998)* to determine and identify dominant and rare calcareous nannofossil taxa in the sediment components. Extended counts were performed to ensure rare taxa were accounted for. Quantitative analysis was carried out with a minimum of the first 300 specimens identified to species level. Following the initial 300 specimen count, the most dominant taxa were excluded and minor taxa were recorded. Bulk isotope analyses included metal-free cleaning of sediment samples and subsequent measurement of their carbonate and oxygen isotopic composition using a Mass Spectrometer.
