Sediments were collected using MC800 multicorer, and sliced into selected 1-cm intervals.  Aliquots were dried, ground into fine powder, and placed in glass vials.  Samples were analyzed on a Canberra model GL2020RS low energy Germanium (LeGe) planar detector coupled with low background cryostats in low background shields, in Jeff Donnelly’s lab at WHOI using standard procedures.
