The provenance of GoM45 and GoM63 core sediments recovered in the deep-sea area (∼1666 m–1672 m water depth, respectively), in front of the Los Tuxtlas volcanic field, Gulf of Mexico was analyzed based on the textural, mineralogical, and geochemical variations. The radiocarbon age data of Globorotal...
