Statement

Seabed sample material was collected by BGS during offshore surveys using various devices such as grabs and dredges. The concentrations of up to 30 trace elements in approximately 9,000 sea-bed samples were determined by BGS using a variety of analytical techniques. In some cases samples have been tested using more than one method. The analyses were carried out on freeze-dried samples of the sand and mud fractions of the samples. Data are stored as part of the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC).
