Whole rock and melt inclusion data from South Island, Lake Turkana

This dataset presents bulk major and trace element analyses of Holocene volcanic rocks and melt inclusions from unit S4, South Island, Turkana Basin, Kenya. These, used in combination with olivine and melt inclusion major and trace element data, help establish that magmatism in the Turkana branch is similar to that in more mature parts of the East African rift, and that rifting in the region is currently driven by magmatism, as described in related publication doi:10.1144/jgs2021-160

本数据集提供了肯尼亚图尔卡纳盆地（Turkana Basin）南岛S4单元全新世火山岩及熔体包裹体的主量与微量元素批量分析数据。结合橄榄石与熔体包裹体的主量及微量元素数据，这些分析结果有助于证实：图尔卡纳分支的岩浆作用与东非大裂谷（East African rift）更成熟区域的岩浆作用具有相似性，且该区域的裂谷作用目前由岩浆作用驱动——相关研究详见文献doi:10.1144/jgs2021-160。
