40Ar/39Ar geochronology of basaltic samples from Bruce Bank and Jane Bank of the Scotia Sea

(2023)

The datasets refer to the dating of three basaltic samples collected from Bruce Bank and Jane Bank in the southern Scotia Sea. The samples were dredged from depths between 850 -1900 m from steep scrap slopes at two locations (DR.225: 59.927 degrees S, 39.154 degrees W; DR.84: 62.468 degrees S, 039.785 degrees W). The files include full analytical datasets for 40Ar/39Ar analysis of whole rock and plagioclase mineral separates performed at the Open University, UK in June 2022. This project was funded by NERC NC-ALI funding to Geology & Geophysics.
