Susceptibility, magnetization and S-ratio of ODP Sites 201-1225 and 201-1227

Samples were collected at Sites 1225 and 1227 to investigate the occurrence of fine-grained, biogenic magnetic particles (magnetosomes). Several magnetic methods, including anhysteretic remanent magnetization and isothermal remanent magnetization, were used to characterize the main magnetic carriers in the samples. Extracts were made to isolate the fine-grained fraction, which was then examined under a transmission electron microscope. Grains with the unique characteristics of magnetosomes were found in samples from regions in the core with both high and low concentrations of magnetic minerals. This suggests they have the potential to be a persistent proxy of paleoredox conditions.

(Table T1) Age determination of seven ODP Leg 201 sites

As part of a wider paleoclimate and paleoceanographic study of Holocene-upper Pleistocene laminated sediments from the eastern equatorial Pacific and Peru continental margin, we completed 32 accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C dates from cores recovered during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 201. Sample preparation and measurement were carried out at the ANTARES AMS facility, Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), in Sydney, Australia (Lawson et al., 2000, doi:10.1016/S0168-583X(00)00276-7; Fink et al., 2004, doi:10.1016/j.nimb.2004.04.025). Although the sediments are predominantly diatomaceous oozes (D'Hondt, Jørgensen, Miller, et al., 2003, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.201.2003), they contain sufficient inorganic (e.g., foraminifer tests and nannofossil plates) and organic (Meister et al., 2005, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.201.105.2005) carbon to allow 14C dating. These dates permitted us to reconstruct a history of sediment accumulation over the past 20 k.y., particularly on the Peru continental margin. In this report we present 14C AMS dates and other pertinent data from cores from Sites 1227, 1228, and 1229 collected during Leg 201 at the Peru continental margin.

TOC and TIC concentration in sediments from Peru margin and eastern equatorial Pacific ODP sites

Organic matter deposited and buried under the seafloor is one of the major carbon sources for microbial life in the deep subsurface of the ocean. In this report, we present a compilation of all available total organic carbon (TOC) and total inorganic carbon (TIC) data for the sites drilled during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 201. We include the TOC and TIC data from sites of Deep Sea Drilling (DSDP) Leg 34 and ODP Legs 112 and 138 (Yeats, Hart, et al., 1976, doi:10.2973/dsdp.proc.34.1976; Suess, von Huene, et al., 1988, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.112.1988; Mayer, Pisias, Janecek, et al., 1992, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.138.1992), which were reoccupied during ODP Leg 201. Additional data from Leg 201 shore-based analyses are also included in the compilation.
