RESULTS

Analytical results for the USGS standards measured in each of the three INAA experiments are shown in Table T1, along with recommended values for these samples (Govindaraju, 1989). INAA results for sediments from Sites 1095, 1096, and 1101 are presented in Tables T2, T3, and T4, respectively. Major element chemistry from the microprobe analyses for Sites 1095, 1096, 1097, and 1101 are presented in Tables T5, T6, T7, and T8, respectively. In addition to the oxides reported, Cr2O3 was also measured. Results for this oxide have been omitted, because they were all at or below detection limits (<0.05 wt%) and Cr was measured with much greater precision by INAA. Results from the LOI measurement conducted on board ship during Leg 178 are also included with the microprobe data.
