Abstract:
This dataset contains neodymium isotope compositions (εNd) measured on planktic foraminifera and fish teeth from IODP Site U1387 (36°48.32′N, 07°43.13′W; 559 m water depth), on the middle slope of the Faro Drift in the Gulf of Cadiz. The measurements were made to identify the water mass bathing the seafloor across Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 17 to 32, in the Early to Middle Pleistocene. Mixed planktic foraminifera (and fish teeth in two samples) were picked from the >250 µm fraction and cleaned following Barker et al. (2003) and Pena et al. (2005), for 49 samples in total. Neodymium was purified by column chromatography at the Laboratori d'Isòtops Radiogènics i Ambientals (LIRA) and measured on a Nu Instruments Plasma 3 multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS) at the Scientific and Technological Centres of the University of Barcelona (CCiT-UB). Ratios were normalized to the JNdi-1 reference standard (Tanaka et al., 2000) and are expressed as εNd relative to the Chondritic Uniform Reservoir (CHUR). The age model is based on correlation of the planktonic d18O record of Globigerina bulloides from Site U1387 to IODP Site U1385, which is aligned to the LR04 benthic isotope stack (Lisiecki and Raymo, 2005); ages are also given on the Probstack time scale (Ahn et al., 2017). The two fish-teeth analyses fill intervals where planktic foraminifera were too scarce to provide enough neodymium, therefore keeping the record continuous.
