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).

This dataset has been carefully reviewed and curated in accordance with PANGAEA's exceptionally high quality standards. However, due to discontinued communication from the authors' side, it did not receive the usual formal approval by the authors and therefore lacks final scientific validation.
