Table 6.- Chemical analysis results for the concentration of elements in organic-rich sediment core samples.

[Concentrations are expressed on a dry weight basis; see figure 2 for location of core sampling sites; arithmetic means and standard deviations  are calculated using the entire core for those elements without censoring (no LLD values); intvl. = interval in cm]

FieldNo Core Intvl. Al, % Ca, % Fe, % K, % Mg, % Na, % P, % Ti, % Mn, ppm Ag, ppm As, ppm Au, ppm B, ppm Ba, ppm Be, ppm Bi, ppm Cd, ppm Ce, ppm
