Biotic and abiotic controls on saline-lake dolomite formation: evidence from the Qianjiang Formation, Jianghan Basin

This dataset contains the numerical data supporting the analyses and figures in the associated manuscript. The files include whole-rock mineral compositions, TOC and TS contents, dolomite ordering, bulk carbonate C–O isotope compositions, EPMA major-element compositions, LA-ICP-MS trace-element compositions and geochemical indices, and micro-drilled carbonate C–O isotope compositions. These data were obtained from dolomite-bearing samples of the third member of the Qianjiang Formation, Jianghan Basin, China, and were used to evaluate multi-endmember controls on saline-lacustrine dolomite formation.
