Notes: CSIRO = Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, ICP-AES = inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectroscopy, ICP-MS = inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry, INNA = instrumental neutron activation analysis. DL = detection limit (cited where close to or exceeding some values). ND = not detected, OR = over range. Sample 142807 had a white residue present on dissolution; S, Ba, and Pb may be underestimated in ICP data, * = closed-vessel dissolution. As by ICP-AES and ICP-MS may be underestimated at this level if As not fully oxidized during dissolution. Zr data by ICP-AES may be unreliable at this level. See Table T1 for ODP sample identifications for CSIRO numbers.
