Boron, Ca, Na, and Gd concentrations and H intensity in sediments obtained during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 192 were determined by prompt gamma neutron activation analysis. The results show strong positive correlation between B content and H intensity in carbonate samples; chalk samples have higher B contents than limestone samples. Average B content is 9.1 ppm for the chalk and 5.2 ppm for the limestone. When chert blocks or clay minerals are present in the carbonate samples, B content increases (up to 91 ppm).
