XRF Fe/TI and K/Ti ratios of FB2001 drill core from Messel

Description: The data contains Fe/Ti and K/Ti ratios obtained via XRF core scanning of drill core FB2001 from the Messel fossil pit (earliest Middle Eocene; 47.66 to 47.22 Ma) versus core depth and age. Scanning was performed at the Institute of Institute of Earth Sciences, Heidelberg University (Germany), with an Avvatech (Gen. IV) X-Ray Fluorescence Scanner. The purpose of this analysis was to objectively detect and quantify the occurrence of siderite layers in the Messel oil shale. These siderite layers are interpreted to represent extreme precipitation events.
