Neodymium (Nd) and strontium (Sr) isotope data from detrital sediments of Site U1513 (this study), Mentelle Basin, and proximal geological terranes. Fields represent the approximate ranges of terrane values based on published literature (Supplementary Data 3). The dashed line represents a mixing calculation between the average values for the Kerguelen Plateau and Yilgarn Craton (Southwest Terrane). Site U1513 Turonian values (red) are approximately concurrent with Oceanic Anoxic Event 2.
