Descriptions
The dataset contain full 40Ar/39Ar geochronological data completed by multi collector noble gas mass spectrometry on plagioclase and glass separates from a tuff sample interbedded in Pleistocene marine claystone (Argille di Spadafora) of northeastern Sicily (Italy). Tuff unit VU7 was identified in the field using the published base map and stratigraphic nomenclature of Di Bella et al. (2016), which correlates to bathyal marine marl (Argille di Vito Superiore) in southern Calabria. The tuff contains stratified white lapilli with abundant fresh volcanic glass shards and was deposited by a submarine turbidity current from a single volcanic eruption. The Ar laserprobe facility was realized with the financial support of CNR. The CO2 laser system was acquired within the PNRR – Mission 4, “Education and Research” - Component 2, “From research to business” - Investment line 3.1, “Fund for the creation of an integrated system of research and innovation infrastructures” - Project IR0000025 MEET. EPOS JRU Italia is acknowledged for support in the Laboratory maintenance.
