U-Pb Isotope Geochronology Data and Geochemical Analyses of Selected Rocks from the Seldovia Quadrangle, Southcentral Alaska

Metadata Updated: September 1, 2024

This dataset contains U-Pb isotopic data and associated ages of zircons within the lithologic framework of igneous, metaigneous, and metasedimentary rocks collected from the Seldovia quadrangle in southcentral Alaska. The samples were collected as part of geological mapping and research conducted from 2020 to 2023 and funded by the Mineral Resources Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. Zircon grains were separated and analyzed by GeoSep Services (GSS). All analyses were conducted between 2021 and 2023 using laser-ablation-inductively-coupled-plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) techniques. Also described in this report are the major and trace element geochemical analyses for samples collected as part of the mapping project. Analyses were conducted by ALS Global. Major elements were determined from fused bead, acid digestion, and ICP-AES analysis. Loss on ignition (LOI) was determined by furnace or TGA. Also included are rubidium (Rb), strontium (Sr), samarium (Sm), and neodymium (Nd) analyses conducted by the ALS Scandinavia laboratory in Lulea, Sweden. Samples were prepared by alkali fusion. Sr was separated using Sr-specific column (TrisKem). Nd was separated from matrix first as sum of REE using a AG50-x8 column (AlfaAesar) and then from Sm on a Ln column (TrisKem).
