Abstract
This dataset contains measurements of particle-size distributions on sediment from International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1533. Carbonate, and organic matter were removed through addition of 10mL aliquots of 30% H2O2 and 2mL aliquots of 10% HCl to ~50-100mL suspension on a hot plate. Dispersion was through heating with sodium pyrophosphate. Samples were measured on a Malvern Mastersizer 2000 with a Hydro 2000MU (A) accessory, using a Refractive index of 1.6 (Illite) and an absorption coefficient of 0.9. Results are in (vol. %) per size class, with diameter range equivalent to the diameter of spheres with the same volume as measured particles.
