The elemental composition of the composite sediment record from HZM19 was obtained using the ITRAX XRF Core Scanner at the GEOPOLAR lab (University of Bremen) using a Cr tube with the following settings: exposure time: 5 s, voltage: 30 kV, and current: 50 mA. The step size was set to 200 µm. Prior to measurements and due to scanning times >7 h, core sections were covered with plastic foil (Chemplex Thin-Film). The dataset was cleaned following measurements, i.e. only data points remain that pass the following conditions: 1. counts per seconds >39.000; 2. MSE <15, and 3. validity equals 1. All values are provided in counts (cts). Here only the continuous XRF records of the composite profile is documented. Ages refer to Birlo et al.
