During expedition SCAN 2013, gravity core TG-01 was collected in the Ona High slope, central Ona Basin, NE prolongation of the Antarctic Peninsula. The core is 400 cm long and was collected from 2160 m water depth at 60º22'23.9314''S, 53º02'15.2501''W. Non-destructive analyses (i.e., X-ray fluorescence scanning) were performed on the archive halves. Major element compositions were determined at 1-cm resolution on split core surfaces of the archive halves using a GEOTEK Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) 81 at the Spanish Geological Survey (IGME, Spain).
