Data of a lacustrine deposition in the Lushi Basin, China during the middle Eocene

We report the discovery of a remarkable 158-meter-thick Mg-carbonate precipitation during the middle Eocene in the Lushi Basin, central China. Six data tables are included in this dataset, including S1: Mineralogical compositions of the studied samples, S2: Relative compositions of clay minerals, S3: Evaluation of accuracy for Rietveld method, S4: Magnesium isotopes of standard and the studied samples, S5: Δ47 values and calculated T(Δ47) results of the studied samples, and S6: Eocene lacustrine magnesium carbonates in the central East Asia.

本研究报道了中国中部卢氏盆地始新世中期一处厚度达158米的巨型镁碳酸盐（Mg-carbonate）沉积体的发现。本数据集包含6张数据表，具体包括：S1：研究样品的矿物组成；S2：黏土矿物相对含量；S3：里特维尔德法（Rietveld method）的精度评估；S4：标准样品与研究样品的镁同位素数据；S5：研究样品的Δ47值以及计算得到的T(Δ47)温度结果；S6：东亚中部始新世湖相镁碳酸盐。
