Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 05:46 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 19, 2025 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains U-Pb isotopic data and associated ages of zircons from selected igneous rocks collected from the region surrounding and including the uplands of the United States Territory of Puerto Rico. The samples were collected as part of geological mapping and research conducted during 2018 and funded by the Mineral Resources Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. Zircon grains were separated and analyzed by GeoSep Services (GSS) in 2019 using laser-ablation-inductively-coupled-plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) techniques.
