Geochemistry and geochronology data for thin granitoid sheets in, and geological map of H.U. Sverdrupfjella, Western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica.

Data and geological map of H.U. Sverdrupfjella; including geochemistry, geochronology and sheet orientations of the granitoids studied as used in the PhD thesis of Burger (2023).<br>
The geological map is high resolution and after Elvevold and Ohta (2010). The orientation data was measured as dip and azimuth (i.e. the bearing to the downward dip) using a geological compass in the field. Geochemical data is a combination of XRF and ICP-MS, based on the best reference material results (included) or availability. XRF analysis used fused beads for major elements and pressed pellets for trace elements, ICP-MS used a 4 acid digestion method. Geochronology are U-Pb system data on separated zircon grains analysed by SHRIMP for 5 samples of granitoid. The data file includes mean ages as well as data tables for all 5 samples. Please see Burger (2023) for more detailed methodology.
