In order to study influence of changing oceanographic setting and climate on carbon burial efficiency and provenance of detrital component a sedimentary core (POS514-40-11GC) was retrived from Mid Adriatic Deep (MAD), Adriatic Sea (Latitude: 43.483333, Longitude:15.433333 , water depth of 217 m) from R/V Poseidon during the cruise named "Micropaleontology, Actuopaleontology and Environmental Baseline Study of the Holocene to latest Pleistocene in the Northern and Eastern Adriatic Sea Basin" in May/June 2017. Geochemical composition was analysed with ITRAX X-ray fluorescence scanner in 1mm resolution down to the 682 cm.
