Records of grain size data measured on the coarse fraction of sediment samples taken during Ocean Drilling Program Site 982 from the Rockall Plateau. For the studies of the coarse fraction the samples were freeze-dried using a FINN-AQUA (lyvotac GT2). Part of the freeze-dried sample was weighed and then washed on a 63-µm sieve and further separated into 63- to 125-, 125- to 500-, 500- to 1000-, and >1000-µm fractions using an ATM-SONIC-Sifter. The 125- to 500-µm fraction was chosen for particle count procedure.
