Included here are U-Pb detrital zircon and Ar/Ar feldspar geochronologic data for middle Cenozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks collected by Jens-Erik Lundstern and Theresa M. Schwartz in several parts of southern Nevada, U.S. The target strata are the lowest Cenozoic sedimentary rocks deposited above the base-Cenozoic unconformity. U-Pb detrital zircon data were obtained at the University of Arizona LaserChron Center in Tucson, Arizona in February 2021, October 2021, and January 2023. 40Ar/39Ar geochronologic data were collected at the U.S. Geological Survey in Denver, Colorado.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9JCU656", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.63ac83cbd34e92aad3ca140e.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_63ac83cbd34e92aad3ca140e", "keyword": ["Cenozoic", "Central Nevada Desert Basins", "Desert National Wildlife Range", "Eocene", "Great Basin", "Nellis Air Force Range", "Nevada", "Oligocene", "Paleogene", "Sedimentary rock", "USGS:63ac83cbd34e92aad3ca140e", "argon", "geochronology", "geoscientificInformation", "land surface characteristics", "radiometric dating", "sedimentary environments", "sedimentary rocks", "tectonic processes", "uranium-lead analysis", "volcanic rocks"], "modified": "2024-08-12T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-115.8103, 36.8601, -114.0553, 37.7372", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "U-Pb detrital zircon data and Ar feldspar data from middle Cenozoic sandstones and volcanic tuffs from southern Nevada, USA"}
