Descriptions

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 Ridge in the North Atlantic Ocean, during IODP Expedition 395C at four sites, U1554, U1555, U1562, and U1563.
