Semiquantitative elemental results from X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scanning of sediment cores from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1574 in the Vøring Plateau, Norwegian Margin, are presented in this report. XRF elemental data were collected every 1 cm from a stratigraphically complete and continuous cored section with 102% recovery from the sea bottom to ~170 meters below seafloor in Hole U1574C. We report raw element intensities (counts) for Al, Si, K, Ca, Ti, Fe, Br, Sr, and Zr and identify covariation patterns consistent with lithofacies variations. Our high-resolution XRF scanning was conducted to better characterize the sediment depositional history at Site U1574 and to aid interpretation of past environmental and oceanographic conditions in the Norwegian Margin, targeting the earliest incursion of deep water into the young North Atlantic Ocean during the Early to Middle Eocene. The high-resolution XRF data also may help improve the age-depth model for the sediment succession at Site U1574.more » « less
