Abstract

This data publication includes paleo and rock magnetic data from three sediment cores, MSM33-53-1, M72-5-22GC4, M72-5-25GC1, collected in the southeastern Black Sea during the marine expeditions M72/5 of the German research vessel RV METEOR (in 2007) and MSM33 of the German research vessel RV Maria S. Merian (in 2013). The data are supplement to Nowaczyk et al. (2020) and have already been described in Liu et al. (2018, 2019, 2020), Liu (2019) and Nowaczyk et al. (2012, 2013).

The cores were sampled at intervals between 1.7 and 3.0 cm. Core M72/5-22GC4 was also continuously subsampled using u-channels. All material was subjected to detailed paleo- and rock magnetic analyses. As a main result the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion at around 41 ka could be revealed (Nowaczyk et al., 2012, 2013, Liu et al., 2020). This feature of the geomagnetic field was characterized by a short but full reversal and very low intensities of the Earth’s magnetic field. However, data is more or less compromised due to the post-depositional precipitation of the magnetic iron suphide greigite (Fe3S4), mainly depending on water depth of the coring sites. Provided data demonstrate the impact of greigite as well as the differences between discrete sample and u-channels (Nowaczyk et al., 2020).

Data are provided as several ASCII files providing most relevant rock magnetic and paleomagnetic parameters, the age model as well as detailed information on the location, water depth, cruises and dates.
