Dataset of total and nitric acid soluble element concentrations from stream sediments of the Upper Garonne Basin, Val d'Aran, Central Pyrenees

This dataset comprises the total and the acid nitric soluble element concentrations of major and trace elements (Si, Ti, Al, Fe, Mn, Mg, Ca, Na, K, P, LOI, As, Ba, Be, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Dy, Er, Eu, Ga, Gd, Ge, Hf, Ho, La, Li, Lu, Mo, Nd, Ni, Pb, Pr, Rb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Sn, Sr, Tb, Th, Tm, U, V, Y, Yb, Zn, Zr) in stream sediments of the Garonne River watershed in the Val d'Aran in the Central Pyrenees. We used samples collected in 1981 in a pilot project of stream sediment geochemistry. The results of nitric acid leachates are used as proxies of the environmentally available fraction of such elements. The samples represents the lithogeochemical units consisting of the Maladeta-Marimanya granitoids, and the metasediments occurring in an extensive area of the basin.
