Site U1456 (location: 16°37.28′N, 68°50.33′E; length: 1109.4 m) was drilled at a water depth of 3640 m within the Laxmi Basin in the eastern Arabian Sea duirng International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 355. Major and trace elements ((278 samples, 50-cm resolution) were analyzed on the clay-sized siliciclastic sediment fractions (carbonate, Fe-Mn oxides, organic matter and biogenic silica were removed) using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (PerkinElmer AvioTM200) and an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (PerkinElmer NexION2000).
