Carbonate geochemistry from an outcrop sample at Forada Site, Southern Alps, Italy
This dataset belongs to a data compilation that contains total organic carbon content, calcium carbonate content and concentrations for major elements, covering the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, for the following sites: Forada Site, Italy, IODP 302 Site M0004, IODP 342 Site U1403, Bass River Site, US, Lodo Gulch Site, US, ODP 121 Site 752, and ODP 189 Site 1172. The data were generated in the period between 2014 – 2017 at the GeoLab of Utrecht University in The Netherlands. Organic carbon and CaCO3 were calculated following decalcification and C/N analysis with a Fisons Instruments CNS NA 1500 analyzer. Major elements were measured using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES, Perkin Elmer 9224 Optima 3000) following total destruction with hydrogen fluoride. These data are used to determine the redox conditions at the sites mentioned above. Here, we present the carbonate geochemistry from an outcrop sample at Forada Site.
