Cosmogenic Be-10 and Al-26 data and calculated surface exposure ages for cobbles collected from a moraine adjacent to Mount Murphy, West Antarctica

Nichols, Keir | Roberts, Stephen | Rood, Dylan | Johnson, Joanne | Wilcken, Klaus | Brown, Katie

2024

This dataset consists of measurements of cosmogenic Be-10 and Al-26 in quartz for a set of cobbles collected from a moraine proximal to Mount Murphy, a nunatak located between Pope and Thwaites glaciers, West Antarctica. The cobbles were collected during the 2015-2016 Antarctic field season....

Experimental logs and analysis of olivine polymorphs and MORB (Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt) composition garnetite samples recovered from high-pressure faulting experiments

Dobson, David | Xie, Longian | Xu, Fang | Marquardt, Katharina

2024

Multi-anvil experiments were performed both in static and deformation geometries on olivine polymorphs and MORB (Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt) -composition garnetite. Faults were induced by uniaxial compression in both garnetite and wadsleyite but only the garnetite showed evidence of thermal run...

Late Eocene microspherule count and foraminifera multispecies oxygen and carbon stable isotope data from DSDP Site 94

Wade, Bridget | Cheng, Natalie

2024

Twenty-six 10 cm3 samples from DSDP (Deep Sea Drilling Project) Site 94, Core 15, sections 3 and 4 were examined at 10 cm-intervals (417.84-415.01 meters below seafloor [mbsf]). The sedimentary material was soaked in distilled water and washed under running water through a 63 µm sieve and...

Rheometric data for suspensions of bubbles and/or particles in a Newtonian suspending liquid

Llewellin, Edward W | Allgood, Ceri | Drignon, Méllisa

2024

Rheometric data for suspensions of bubbles and/or particles in a Newtonian suspending liquid. Experimental suspensions are intended as analogues for multiphase magma and lava (containing volatile bubbles and solid crystals). The dataset comprises data collected using a Anton Paar MCR702...

Microscopy data from Basalt Samples, Reykjanes Ridge, North Atlantic Ocean, IODP Expedition 395C

McNamara, David | University of Liverpool SEM Shared Research Facility (SEM SRF)

2024

This data comprises various transmitted and reflected light microscopy images, scanning electron imagery, chemical mapping (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), and crystallographic mapping (electron backscatter diffraction) of basalt samples. Basalt cores were taken from the Reykjanes...

Geochemical products of laboratory-simulated abrasion of natural quartz and alkali feldspar incubated at low temperatures

Gill-Olivas, Beatriz | Telling, Jon | Tranter, Martyn

2024

Geochemical data collected during a 40 day incubation of crushed silicate minerals (quartz and alkali feldspar). Quartz and alkali were crushed separately under an oxygen-free atmosphere using a planetary ball mill. The crushed minerals where then incubated in serum vial under with...

Geochemical and geochronological data from the Fossil Bluff Group, Antarctica

Riley, Teal

2023

The files include full analytical details and datasets from the laboratories used for the acquisition of U-Pb zircon geochronology and Lu-Hf isotope geochemistry. The data were collected in the interval September 2022 to January 2023 across a number of laboratories: Stockholm, University...

In-situ rock deformation and micron-scale crack network evolution: a high-resolution time-resolved x-ray micro-tomography dataset

Cartwright-Taylor, Alexis | Main, Ian | Butler, Ian | Fusseis, Florian | Flynn, Michael | King, Andrew

2020

This collection comprises two time-series of 3D in-situ synchrotron x-ray microtomography (μCT) volumes showing two Ailsa Craig micro-granite samples (ACfresh02 and ACHT01) undergoing triaxial deformation. These data were collected in-situ at the PSICHE beamline at the SOLEIL synchrotron,...

Lipid biomarker palaeothermometry and carbon isotope data for eleven lignites spanning the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary in North America

Jerrett, Rhodri | O’Connor, Lauren | Lengger, Sabine | Dearing Crampton-Flood, Emily | Price, Gregory | van Dongen, Bart | Davies, Marc

2024

The dataset consists of eleven spreadsheet tabs, each tab containing lipid biomarker palaeothermometry (air temperature reconstructions) and bulk organic carbon isotope data from individual lignites that are known to stratigraphically span the Cretaceous-Palaeogene (K-Pg) boundary....

High precision zircon U-Pb data for plutonic rocks from the Masirah and Ra's Madrakah ophiolites, South East Oman

Jansen, Max | MacLeod, Christopher | Lissenberg, Johan | Parkinson, Ian | Condon, Daniel

2024

Zircon U-Pb isotope data are presented for eight plutonic rocks from the Masirah ophiolite and one plutonic rock from the Ra's Madrakah ophiolite (South East Oman). These data constrain the age of formation of the two ophiolite nappes exposed on Masirah Island (early Cretaceous), whereas two...
