A total of 776 sediment samples were measured for percent CaCO (sub 3) using a coulometer. These data are compared with percent blue reflectance (450-550 nm) measured with the Oregon State University split-core analysis track. In previous studies percent blue reflectance has been an excellent proxy for percent CaCO3 and in this study shows many of the main depositional trends (i.e., a 100-k.y. cycle, with a 55% reflectance range is evident in the upper 900 k.y., underlain by sediments exhibiting a 40-k.y. cycle with only a 30% reflectance range). Between approximately 21 and 5 Ma the average percent reflectance decreases from approximately 35% to approximately 8%. A similar decrease is also recorded between approximately 24 and 22 Ma.
