Core, section, interval (cm)	Depth (mbsf)	CaCO₃ (wt%)	IC (wt%)	TC (wt%)	TN (wt%)	TS (wt%)	TOC (wt%)	TOC/TN
205-1255A-
2R-2, 0-43	133.94	4.77	0.57	1.73	0.17	0.41	1.16	6.9

4R-1, 0-38	152.00	1.64	0.20	1.88	0.21	1.01	1.68	7.9

Notes: IC = inorganic carbon, TC = total carbon, TN = total nitrogen, TS = total sulfur, TOC = total organic carbon. Accuracies of TS and TN are low, ~20% (see "Organic Geochemistry" in the "Explanatory Notes" chapter).
