The data set contains the radiocarbon dates, organic carbon, and redox proxies values of SK 312/16 sediment core of the central Arabian Sea collected from 12.99°N and 65.00°E (water depth of ~4300m).
Chronology was established by Accelerator
Mass Spectrometer (AMS) radiocarbon dating on mixed planktonic foraminifera (>250μm).
Trace element were measured by Q-ICP-MS and the analytical precision of measurement for all
elements was found to be better than ±5%
Organic carbon (Corg) was measured
using Thermofisher Flash 2000 Elemental Analyser after decarbonating samples with 0.6N HCl. The analytical precision for organic carbon were
within ±2%.
