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 End-member composition (as presented in doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.961710) of South Atlantic surface sediments. For each individual sample, the contributions of each EM to the (reconstructed) grain-size distribution were determined.
