DESCRIPTION: 
Table A1. 
Averaged foraminiferal trace metal data for V30-49                           
Core V30-49: 18ˇ26'N   21ˇ05'W
3093m water depth.                         

Variables: 
Depth (cm, average of 2cm intervals) 
Age (kyr, Martinson et al. [1987]) 
Cd/Ca (µmol/mol, 3.3% 1s) 
Ba/Ca (µmol/mol, 2.4% 1s) 
Mn/Ca (µmol/mol, 5% 1s).
