Abstract:
This data set adds to the Harper et al. (2004) Aztec Wash pluton Granite Zone data set. It includes whole rock analyses (analyzed at Hamilton Analytics) for 13 samples from N35.652028 W114.846193 located in the "cumulate granite" in the Aztec Wash pluton. This data set presents a new type of granite, described as "enhanced cumulate" found in one location under a large enclave believed to be samples that underwent enhanced compaction and melt extraction compared to the rest of the pluton
