This dataset contains nannofossil assemblage and planktonic foraminifera assemblage data, the total encountered abundance of diatoms from ODP Site 722B. D/V JOIDES Resolution carried out drilling of ODP Site 722 as part of ODP Leg 117 between the 6th and 8th of September 1989. The samples used for data analysis presented in this entry were sampled from drill cores cored by XCB (see Shipboard Scientific Party, 1989; doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.117.107.1989). Sampling was conducted in the Kochi Core Center (KCC) in 2018. The data in this submission was generated to conduct research into upwelling and nutrient flux changes in the Oman Margin Upwelling Zone, details on data acquisition and hypothesis can be found in the associated publication. Nannofossil data was generated at JAMSTEC, Yokosuka, Japan, in April 2019 on an Olympus X52 polarizing light microscope under 1000x magnification. Calculation of total abundances of nannofossil and diatom and the sum of all siliceous fragments (including diatoms, radiolarian ...
