Diatom recovery from core MD88-784: Raw counts

Updated: 2022-02-23

Core MD88-784 was recovered during the French ASPARA IV cruise in 1988, aboard the Marion Dufresne. The core was located on the Tasman Fracture Zone of the Mid-Ocean Ridge, within the Polar Front Zone. Diatoms were found in abundance through the core, with a total of 57 diatom species and taxa recorded. This data set provides the raw diatom counts from sediment samples prepared every 10cm down the core.
