Major element concentrations in weathering rinds and andesitic cores of Basse-Terre Island (French Guadeloupe)
Abstract:
Major element concentrations were measured along multiple weathering transects from unweathered core to weathering rinds in 12 weathering clasts collected from the Basse-Terre Island (French Guadeloupe). The samples were obtained by drilling on handsamples with a microdrill system. The major element concentrations were measured by ICP OES after LiBO2 fusion. The sample location refers to the disctance from the core-rind boundary (measued in mm). Funding sources: NSF EAR 1251952 to LM UTEP
