Rock sample data from the footwall of the Kangaroo Caves Cu-Zn deposit, Pilbara, Western Australia

The 11 rock samples in this dataset have been collected for the characterization of hydrothermal alteration zonation in the footwall of the Kangaroo Caves volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit in the East Pilbara Granite Greenstone Terrane in Western Australia. The rock samples were collected along a transect that crosscut several alteration zones, one chlorite-quartz and two quartz-sericite alteration zones. Samples were acquired during a field visit in 2003.

本数据集包含的11件岩石样品，采集自澳大利亚西部东皮尔巴拉花岗岩绿岩地体（East Pilbara Granite Greenstone Terrane）内的袋鼠洞火山成因块状硫化物矿床（volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit）下盘，旨在表征该矿床的热液蚀变分带（hydrothermal alteration zonation）特征。这些岩石样品沿一条横穿多个蚀变带的采样剖面采集，其中涵盖1条绿泥石-石英蚀变带与2条石英-绢云母蚀变带。所有样品均于2003年的一次野外考察中采集获取。
