Turbidite emplacement on the southern Balearic Abyssal Plain (western Mediterranean Sea) during Marine Isotope Stages 1-3: An application of ITRAX XRF scanning of sediment cores to lithostratigraphic analysis
The upper part (0-20m) of along piston core from the SE Balearic Abyssal Plain - spanning the past 50 ka - has been studied using the ITRAX micro-XRF core scanner to obtain downcore elemental profiles. The Ca/Fe ratio was found to be an effective parameter to distinguish between turbidites and pelag...
