Marine sediment core scanned using an Avaatech X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core scanner at the CORELAB, Universitat de Barcelona (Spain) to obtain high-resolution geochemical records. The dark sedimentary unit visible in the upper part of the core corresponds to the organic-rich sapropel S1 layer, which is characterized by elevated organic matter content relative to the surrounding sediments.
