Rock chemistry

Rock chemistry contains information about different elements in rock samples from Sweden. Sampling has mainly taken place in connection with regular fieldwork at SGU. A very large number of analyses come from sampled cores from mainly exploration companies, where data according to legal requirements has been submitted to Bergsstaten. Some analysis values are taken from the literature. Analysis has been done with different so-called analysis packages and methods, also different laboratories have been used over time. The rock chemistry data set contains location information, a brief description and chemical analyses of rock samples. The amount of information about the samples, the sampling methodology, the method of analysis and sample preparation, the laboratory of analysis and the amount of elements analysed vary greatly.
