Early Miocene ASEM element maps from IODP Site U1480 (NERC grant NE/P021182/1)

Element maps from 5x 10 cm sections generated using the Zeiss Sigma HD Field Emission Gun Analytical SEM at Cardiff University. Maps come from sections within the early Miocene pelagic interval situated directly below the Nicobar Fan succession at IODP Site U1480 in the Eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean (for more information see published report, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2017.07.019 ). These specific sections were chosen to examine the depositional environments associated with transitions from red clays to white chalk, which demonstrate distinct banding at the micro and macro scale.

Statement: Thin sections were made from the block samples, and were then carbon coated and analysed in the ASEM. Various scans and images were made at different resolutions of each 10 cm section. All have been included here- details of the collection resolution and other settings of each map can be found in the properties of each file upon opening.
