Turekian, K.K. and Imbrie, J. (1966). The distribution of trace elements in deep-sea sediments of the Atlantic Ocean. Earth and Planetary Science Letters 1: 161-168.

The distribution of barium, cobalt, copper, nickel, lead, chromium, manganese and tin have been determined in the tops of deep-sea cores from the Atlantic Ocean. The trace elements show no correlations with clay mineralogy or depth of water. The strongest correlations are: (1) among manganese, nickel and cobalt which can be related generally to areas of low clay accumulation rates hence possibly representing a fine grained pelagic component, and (2) the correlation of copper with calcium carbonate
