Abstract:

We present the characteristics of the lithogenic components of seafloor surface sediments covering the entire South Atlantic Ocean (from the equator to Antarctica). These samples were collected by multiple seagoing expeditions between 1988 and 2005. This dataset describes the raw grain-size distributions of the lithogenic fraction of the sediments.
