Point Load Test (PLT) data on salt samples from the Northwich Halite Member

Valdez II, Robert | Forbes Inskip, Nathaniel D | Ougier-Simonin, Audrey

2025

The dataset contains point load test data of salt samples collected from the Northwich Halite Member at the Winsford Mine in Cheshire, UK. Each sample was tested in an unconfined state using a point load testing apparatus, in which compressive force was applied through two opposing conical...

Major, trace element and Pb isotope data of basalts from the flanks of the Reykjanes Ridge, IODP Expedition 395C

Murton, Bramley

2025

Major, trace element and Pb isotope data are reported here for basalts recovered by drilling at the flanks of the Reykjanes Ridge, south of Iceland, during IODP Expedition 395C (2020-2022). The drilling targeted V-shaped ridges and V-shaped troughs forming the flanks of the Reykjanes Ridge....
