We present Spearman correlation values for elements from quality-controlled XRF scanning data for marine sediment cores from IODP Expedition 403 Eastern Fram Strait Paleoarchive, Vestnesa Ridge, Site U1618. The expedition took place between June 4 and August 2, 2024. XRF scanning was conducted on the first ~85 m of the record from this site, all of which represent Quaternary deposition. XRF scanning took place post-cruise in the boreal fall of 2024 using the fourth generation Avaatech XRF core scanner at the IODP Gulf Coast Repository, College Station, Texas. Data presented here have been quality controlled and are described in Libman-Roshal, Duxbury et al. (under review).

Dr. Olga Libman-Roshal and Lucinda Duxbury have contributed equally to the preparation of this work.Travel funding and Projects:• Travel funding for US-based scientists participating in XRF scanning, Web: https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/usssp-iodp-us-science-support-program-associated-international-ocean/6682/nsf14-549, Award: NSF in agreement with the US Science Support Program (USSSP)• Travel funding for LD, Web: https://www.iodp.org.au/, Award: Australian and New Zealand IODP Consortium (ANZIC)• Travel funding for AGL, Web: https://gotw.nerc.ac.uk/list_full.asp?pcode=NE%2FZ000300%2F1, Award: IODPUK NERC Postdoctoral Postcruise Moratorium Award NE/Z000300/1• Travel funding for RGL, Web: https://www.iodp-italia.cnr.it/ https://dta.cnr.it/project/iodp3-icdp/, Award: MUR through ECORD-IODP Italia
