Tectonics, dynamics and Plio-Pleistocene magmatism in the central Tyrrhenian Sea: insights from the submarine transitional basalts of the Ventotene volcanic Ridge (Pontine Islands, Italy)

This dataset contains petrological and geochronological data of basalts from Ventotene volcanic Ridge (VR), located 25 km north of Ventotene Island in the Eastern Pontine Islands, Italy. The samples dredged along the VR are basalts to trachybasalts belonging to the transitional (TR) rock-series, with a 40Ar-39Ar age of 2.760±0.039 Ma.

本数据集收录了意大利蓬蒂内群岛东部文托泰内岛以北25千米处的文托泰内火山脊（Ventotene volcanic Ridge, VR）的玄武岩岩石学与地质年代学数据。沿该火山脊拖网采集的样品涵盖玄武岩至粗安玄武岩，归属过渡型（TR）岩石系列，其40Ar-39Ar测年年龄为2.760±0.039 Ma。
