The CaCO3 is derived from calcareous plankton and is highly variable ranging from 0% to 16%. In general, the CaCO3 content of the sediments varies inversely with the biopal content, reflecting the relative abundance of calcareous and siliceous plankton in the photic zone. Siliceous plankton dominate when winds are predominantly out of the northwest producing strong upwelling. Calcareous plankton indicates weak southeasterly winds that bring warm, tropical Pacific surface water into the Gulf. Based mainly on relative abundances of biopal and CaCO3, the sediments deposited over the last 17,000 years in the western Guaymas Basin can be divided into five intervals. In general, the sediments in the intervals with high biopal and low CaCO3 are laminated, but this is not always true. Unlike most other continental margins of the world with well-developed oxygen minimum zones where highest concentrations of organic carbon and redox-sensitive trace metals occur in laminated sediments, the laminated sediments on the anoxic slope of the western Guaymas Basin do not always have the highest concentrations of organic carbon and trace metals such as Mo and Cd.","author":{"name":"Walter E.

and JPC56.\n\nGiant gravity core (GGC) 55 and jumbo piston core (JPC) 56 are two of a series of paired, overlapping gravity and piston cores that were collected \nin July 1990 on R/V Atlantis II cruise 125/8. These two cores were collected on the western slope of the Guaymas Basin, GGC55 at 27deg28.22'N, \n112deg6.33'W in a water depth of 820m, and JPC56 at 27deg28.16'N, 112deg6.26'W in a water depth of 818m . Both cores were sampled at 10-cm intervals \nfor geochemical  analyses.  The samples were analyzed for 40 major, minor, and trace elements by inductively coupled, argon plasma, atomic emission \nspectrometry (ICP-AES; Briggs, 2002).  Rock standards (USGS) were included with the sediment samples, and 10% of the samples were duplicated. \nThe precision, determined by analyzing rock standards and duplicate sediment samples, is better than 10%, and usually is better than 5%, at a \nconcentration of 10 times the limit of detection. Results for 8 major elements (in weight percent) and 19 minor and trace elements \n(in parts per million) are given here. \n\nDried samples were analyzed for weight percentages of total carbon (TC) and inorganic carbon (IC) by coulometric titration of carbon dioxide following \nextraction from the sediment by combustion at 950C and acid volatilization, respectively (Engleman et al., 1985). Percent total organic carbon (% TOC) \nwas calculated as the difference (TC-IC), and percent CaCO3 was calculated as CaCO3 1/4 IC=0:12; where 0.12 is the fraction of carbon in CaCO3. \nThe accuracy and precision of this method, determined from hundreds of replicate standards, usually are better than 0.10% for both TC and IC.\n\nMethods References \n\nBriggs, P.H., 2002.
