Descriptions
This dataset comprises electron microprobe (EMP) and LA-ICP-MS analyses of detrital chromite in fuchsitic quartzite core from the Red lake greenstone belt in the Superior craton, Canada. The dataset consists of over 1000 EMP analyses from 20 thin sections from different height of the core and over 500 LA-ICP-MS analyses. The data represent in-situ major element data, trace element data and platinum group of element data from detrital chromites. The dataset also contains modelled data from MELTS showing the progress of Cr# with incompatible trace element during crystallisation. Along with the samples, the data also consists of an analysis of over 6 months from the following standards: NIST 612, ML3B-G, GOR128-G, and the in-house standard Amikoq chromitite. The following standards were used for calibration: NIST 610 and NIST 612 for trace elements, and UQAC FeS-5 for PGE abundances.
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.
