Notes: MST = multisensor track, AA = atomic absorption, NGR = natural gamma radiation, GrChert = green chert, IP = interpillow, RSD = relative standard deviation, SD = standard deviation, XRF = X-ray fluorescence. NGR data for half- and whole-round cores, readings taken every 10 cm for 20 or 60 s. NGR K2O calculated from calibration shown in Figure F93B. K2O interpolated from control samples using mixing proportions given.
