Descriptions
These data represent the most complete set of analyses of the Eastern Australian Potassic suite. The data include whole-rock major-, trace-, and volatile-element analyses including loss-on-ignition measurements for 48 samples from 21 spatially distinct leucite-bearing volcanic surface expressions. These expressions range from topographically prominent volcanic edifices and mounds, through to lava flows, with four sample locations (8 samples total) coming from active quarry sites. Location and elevation data as well as methods used are provided. Trace-element data are available for 45 samples and include a total of 41 elements, while volatile-element data are available for 47 samples. All samples have major element analyses (10 elements). This is an update on the dataset provided in version 1 (https://doi.org/10.25625/AB5PLG). Additional information on the sample texture, description, and analytical methods has been added. This update also rectifies mismatches between some trace-element analyses and the corresponding samples. Data for Sn have been removed due to poor accuracy and precision.
The DIGIS geochemical data repository is a research data repository in the Earth Sciences domain with a specific focus on geochemical data. The repository archives, publishes and makes accessible user-contributed, peer-reviewed research data in standardised form (EarthChem Team, 2022, https://doi.org/10.26022/IEDA/112263) that fall within the scope of the GEOROC database (https://georoc.eu). All submissions of new data will be considered for inclusion in the GEOROC database. It is hosted at GFZ Data Services through a collaboration between the Digital Geochemical Data Infrastructure (DIGIS) for GEOROC 2.0 (https://digis.geo.uni-goettingen.de) and the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences.
