Petrographic, whole-rock, quartz and zircon geochemistry, zircon Lu-Hf isotopes, molybdenite Re-Os geochronology and zircon U-Pb CA-ID-TIMS data from the Yerington Batholith, Nevada, USA. This data set comprises 10 .xlsx files collected during 2017-2022, as summarised below. They are each...

Micromechanics of shear failure in a porous rock: a combined dataset of high-resolution time-resolved 3D x-ray micro-tomography volumes and local 3D strain fields with contemporaneous acoustic emissions and ultrasonic velocity survey waveforms

Cartwright-Taylor, Alexis | Butler, Ian B | Fusseis, Florian | Ling, Martin | Andò, Edward | Mangriotis, Maria-Daphne | Main, Ian G | Rizzo, Roberto E | Marti, Sina | Leung, Derek D | Magdysyuk, Oxana V

2022

This dataset shows both the micro-scale mechanisms and acoustic response involved in shear failure of a deforming porous rock. To our knowledge, this is the first such dataset to combine simultaneous acoustic measurements and x-ray tomography imaging. It comprises a time-series of 3D in-situ...

A combined field and laboratory study of microplastic uptake by the Snakelocks Anemone (<em>Anemonia viridis</em>), 2020.

Savage, Georgina | Porter, Adam | Simpson, Stephen

2022

This dataset contains the results from a combined field and laboratory study of microplastic uptake by the Snakelocks Anemone (Anemonia viridis). In October 2020, 48 anemones were collected at low tide by hand from Corbyn Head, Torquay, South Devon UK. A further 40 capture-bred anemones where...

Uranium-lead (U-Pb) dating of the Wensleydale Granite, Yorkshire Dales, UK

Pashley, Vanessa | Thomas, Chris | Tapster, Simon

2021

We undertook U-Pb analysis - both high precision ID-TIMS and high spatial resolution LA-MC-ICP-MS – to determine the age of the Wensleydale Granite. This was done in order to resolve the ambiguity surrounding an earlier (1974) Rb/Sr age determination.

UKGEOS Cheshire TH0424 Additional Core Scanning Dataset

BGS Core Scanning Facility

2022

An additional core scanning dataset from the TH0424 drill core that was drilled onshore at Thornton Science Park, Cheshire, UK as part of the UK Geoenergy Observatories (UKGEOS) Cheshire ground investigation funded by UKRI/NERC. The approximately 100 m long core succession comprises the...
