Mineral chemistry (EPMA, LA-ICP-MS) of scheelite from the Eastern Alps: Felbertal, Messelingscharte, Lienzer Schlossberg, Enzingerboden, Schellgaden, Fastenberg, Karchau, Arztal, Mallnock, Gstoder, Klammalm, Kleinarl, Tux-Lanersbach etc.

Greenfield exploration during the 1970s to 1980s has revealed tungsten enrichment in various geological units of the Eastern Alps. This dataset is the result of the W Alps Project, a study, which aims to develop assessment criteria (fingerprints) for the evaluation of regional tungsten potentials in the Eastern Alps based on mineralogical and chemical criteria from 17 of these tungsten discoveries, including the world-class Felbertal tungsten deposit. Scheelite is the most common tungsten mineral in the Eastern Alps and was investigated by combined cathodoluminescence imaging, electron probe microanalysis and in-situ laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.
