This dataset comprises bulk sediment size fraction percentages from gravity core SO264-28-2, which was recovered from Suiko Seamount (44°51.547 N 170°03.997 E) from 1935 m water depth. Sampling and sieving studies were carried out from 0.00–7.62 m core depth at ~2 cm spatial resolution.170.0663844.85908
