Descriptions

This dataset presents a set of geographical, geochemical and isotopic data, microphotos of thin sections and geochemical binary variation diagrams of sixteen samples of volcanic rocks collected in The Pleiades Volcanic Field, Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica (≈ 72° 42’ S; 165° 43’ E), made up of some 20 monogenetic, partly overlapping scoria and spatter cones, erupted in the last 900 ka, cropping out from the ice close to the head of Mariner Glacier. First two files of dataset (kmz files) contain locations of volcanic centres of The Pleaides Volcanic Fiels and the locations of the collected samples. File #3 contains analytical results of full major element, trace element and radiogenic (Sr, Nd, Pb) isotopic data of collected samples. File #4 contains analytical details of Ar-Ar geochronological data. File #5A and 5B contains modelling results, respectively, of major elements and trace elements-Sr isotope ratios of Assimilation plus Crystal Fractionation (AFC) applied to selected samples of The Pleiades Volcanic Field. Other files are images containing high-resolution pictures collected through optical microscopy of thin sections of collected samples showing their most important petrographic features and binary geochemical diagrams of variation of major elements and selected trace elements against SiO2 (wt%). This data are supplement to a manuscript currently submitted to G3 – Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, and are used to describe the main petrographic and geochemical features of the volcanic products outcropping at the Pleiades, define the characters of their mantle source, to define their evolutionary patterns. Through these data, we observed an unusual fractionation trend for this kind of volcanic fields, with a large assimilation rate of crustal material, ane we hypothesize a role of the thick-ice cap able to suppress the eruption potential and to increase the residence times of magma in crustal chambers.
