X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and 40Ar/39Ar data obtained from basaltic rocks cored at IODP Site 369-U1513

A series of basaltic flows and associated dolerite dykes were cored at depths of >680m below the seafloor, at the base of IODP Site U1513. These cores were obtained from the Naturaliste Plateau, offshore SW Australia as part of IODP Expedition 369. Quartered sections of the core were selected during the expedition to establish the age, composition, and mineralogy of these basaltic rocks. This data collection includes the results of X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and 40Ar/39Ar isotopic analyses of eight basaltic rocks cored at the site. […]
