Clay mineral composition of sediments from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 379 Hole U1533D, Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica (2019)

This data set presents contents of the clay minerals smectite, illite, chlorite and kaolinite analysed on the clay fraction (less than 2 micrometers) of Pleistocene-Holocene drift sediments recovered at Hole U1533D on the Amundsen Sea continental rise during IODP Exp379 with RV JOIDES Resolution in Jan-Mar 2019. The clay mineral contents are given in percentages (%) both versus expedition number, site number, hole ID, core number, drill core type (H: advanced piston corer system, X: extended core barrel system; R: rotary core barrel system), section number (sect), section half (W: work; A: archive) and depth of the top and bottom of the sample within a section or core catcher (CC) in centimetres (cm) and versus depth below seafloor (CSF-A) in metres (m). The d-values (in Angstrom) and integral breadths (IB, delta 2theta) of the clay minerals smectite and illite as well as the ratios between the areas of the 5 Angstrom and 10 Angstrom peaks of illite are also given. The clay mineral data were generated and analysed by Dr Claus-Dieter Hillenbrand (British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, United Kingdom) and Prof Werner Ehrmann (Institute of Geophysics and Geology, University of Leipzig, Germany). Users of this dataset should cite the dataset DOI and acknowledge both the data generators (C.-D. Hillenbrand and W. Ehrmann) and the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP).

The work was funded by NERC UK-IODP Moratorium Award NE/T010975/1.

Statement: By preparing, analysing and evaluating samples six times, a standard deviation of c. 1% was obtained for the concentrations of smectite, chlorite and kaolinite, and of c. 1.5% for illite. The standard deviation for the 5/10 Angstrom peak area ratios is c. 0.05 and that for illite IB c. 0.02 delta °2theta.
