Dataset description: Organic geochemistry data of carbon fractions from Escanaba Trough sediments, off the coast of Northern California, USA, from May-June 2022

Organic carbon fractions representing different labilities were extracted from sediments collected in the Escanaba Trough from May and June 2022. Organic carbon fractions included the total lipid extract and acid insoluble material. These fractions were analyzed for percent total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), stable carbon isotope ratios (d13C), stable nitrogen isotope ratios (d15N) and radiocarbon values (D14C). Percent TOC and TN data was used to calculate the contribution of each organic carbon fraction to the total organic carbon.
