Data on chemical composition of bottom sediments from some polygons in the Philippine Sea are reported. Areal and vertical variability of major and trace element contents in bottom sediments is analyzed for clarifying sedimentation features and diagenetic migration of the elements in the upper part of the sedimentary sequence.
