Acknowledgments

Financial support was provided by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, Funds Fi442/10-1,2) in the German IODP Special Research Program (www.bgr.bund.de/​cln_101/​nn_332102/​DE/​Themen/​MeerPolar/​IODP/​Koordinationsbuero/​DFG__Projekte/​dfg__projekte__node.html?__nnn=true). This research was conducted with samples and data from the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), an international marine research program dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of the Earth, the deep biosphere, climate change, and Earth processes by sampling and monitoring subseafloor environments. I thank Hans-Jürgen Brumsack (ICBM Oldenburg) and Ruediger Stein (AWI Bremerhaven) for sending their powdered sample sets. I also thank the IODP Bremen Core Repository staff, in particular Walter Hale and Alex Wülbers, for their continuous support and interest during sampling. Thanks also to the onshore Scientific Party and the postcruise scientists for enlightening discussions at the postcruise meeting in Erice, Sicily. I thank the reviewer Claus-Dieter Hillenbrand for a very constructive review and Gigi Delgado for IODP-related matters.
