This data set presents bulk sample-based X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) measurements. For XRF sample preparation freeze-dried sediments from silt-clay overbank deposits of the Eger floodplain in Southern Germany were seaved (2mm) to discard the gravel fraction and large organic matter. Further homogenization was undertaken by grinding the samples with PM 200 planetary ball mill from Retsch. 8 g of sediment sample (1000 pulses?: individual values are not secured, since concentrations are based on measurements with < 1000 pulses
