Geochronological, isotope, and geochemical data from magmatic and detrital samples of the Zimbabwe craton – Tracking Archean Crustal Growth of the Zimbabwe Craton through an integrated geochronology-isotope approach
Abstract:
These datasets include: 1) U-Pb geochronological data obtained in-situ using a mass spectrometer HR-ICP-MS (ThermoFinnigan Element2) coupled with a Teledyne Analyte Excite 193nm excimer laser, 2) Lu-Hf isotope data obtained in-situ using the ThermoFinnigan Neptune Plus MC-ICP-MS coupled to a Teledyne Analyte Excite 193nm excimer, 3) major and trace-element compositions of bulk-rock samples obtained through XRF and ICPMS, 4) trace element compositions of detrital zircon from modern sediments obtained in-situ using a mass spectrometer HR-ICP-MS (Element2). The zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope data, as well as trace element compositions of detrital zircon, were obtained at the Radiogenic Isotope and Geochronology Laboratory (RIGL) at Washington State University. Bulk-rock chemistry was obtained at the Peter Hooper GeoAnalytical Lab at Washington State University.
