We report a detailed tephrostratigraphic characterization of the 5.7 m long NDT09 marine sediment sequence retrieved from the Marsili Basin in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. Glass composition was determined through a combination of electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), while textural analyses of tephra particles were conducted using scanning electron micr...

A detailed tephrochronological study was carried out on the deep‐sea core collected from Site 963A in the Sicily Channel during ODP Leg 160. The chronology of the succession is provided by an age–depth model based on isotope stratigraphy and quantitative eco‐biostratigraphy. Major, trace and rare earth element content was obtained on single glass grains through electron probe micro‐analysis and laser ablation–inductively coupl...
